No worry. It will not happen.
NUS addressed this concern during last year May zoom session, to those on NUS wait list but have already received NTU offer.
Go ahead to accept NTU offer while waiting NUS wait list outcome during end-May.

But unlike 1st round offer during end-Apr / early May where have a few weeks to think & decide accept offer. Those on wait list once notified of offer have only two to three days to decide. If email to students dont have response, parent will be called.

Thanks KP.
We are overseas citizens and my DD couldn't login to the JAP website. She got into NTU, but her NUS portal just states status as \"processing\".

Not sure what it means for her. Did all the WL and Rejections got declared for NUS med this year?

If we accept NTU med offer without knowing NUS status as her portal status not updated, would it mean she will not be considered for NUS med place?

Bit confusing for us..any thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated 🙏

All confirmed and waitlist have been released. Those applicants with status still showing processing means it’s a rejection. Some of these have been allocated to another course.

Thank you junemun72.
Understand, DD didn't apply for any other course other than med at LKC and YLLOM.
We will proceed with NTU med offer acceptance 👍.

What if you got an offer from NTU and NUS medicine. Which one will you prefer? Why?

As far as I know no one received rejection email yet but most of them received other offers. The waitlist which I believe is the last batch came Friday evening. This is the information I saw from Reddit.

I will state the facts, NUS is preferred.
I am amazed by support fr the NUS fraternity. Their financial aid support is solid.

The \"wait list\" students felt the big difference last year.
NUS actively engaged wait-list students with zoom session & on-campus meet session, cos NUS wait-list has \"weight\".
While NTU did not have any follow-up for wait-list, other than email during late-june to wait-list student that an offer is made, & student given only 2 days to decide acceptance.

Roughly how many will be on NUS wait list? Just wondering does it mean this few will displaced those who got offer but decided not to accept as they have even better offer? Overseas? Reasons? Can afford and no bond?

YLL has a larger pool of applicants which may not have thought through seriously abt med until after actual A/IB results .. compared to LKC ones who had to do UCAT almost 9 mths-1yr ahead. All of these have blow your headlights out scores and remarkable portfolios. There will be many holding multiple offers too for scholarships to Oxbridge, financial aid Ivy, etc. Also, yea I know a few girls who are already in AU medical school first semester but came back to do the MMI/SJT/FSA. They are also debating whether to work in this SG system or just pay into a residency ( probably better lifestyle) in another healthcare system.
Then, believe it or not, there are the ones now (after the offer) wondering if they can withstand the cadavers , blood and bodily fluids. I rem in my time a cohort mate who dropped out as he could not stand the stench. Also, there was a story about another who was allergic to sanitising fluid so it became impossible to stay in clinical postings.

One would think the interview would sieve them out no matter how impressive are their portfolios.
So for the rest of us average Joes who work hard towards our dream, an offer from NTU and WL from NUS would be alr a great deal anyone can dream of.
Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏

The number on wait list is not secret, published on NUS medicine portal. The number is 70.
See under \"selection process\"
https://medicine.nus.edu.sg/prospective-students/nus-medicine-admissions-assessment/
The same question was prompt to A/Prof Marion Aw during last year zoom session by NUS with wait list candidates on 8 May 2023.
How many of the 70 will be successful?
The wait list has \"weight\", many in the wait list will not be disappointed. My guess is between 50 to 60.

For 2023/24 NUS intake, total 280 for NUS Yong Loo Lin (Male: 134, Female:146), dentistry total 80 (Male: 31, Female: 49)
