Hi everyone! I am hoping to create a support group for those who have been rejected from medical schools and are feeling not so great.


Just for context, I am a NUS Y1 (going Y2) life science student who have been rejected from medical school twice, so I understand how some of you are feeling and this is why I am creating a telegram group chat for those who are in the same boat. I understand how lost and helpless some of you may feel after being rejected from medical school and I hope that the group will be a safe place for you to vent + share your thoughts/questions. For those who are intending to apply again, we can help to keep each other accountable too! Speaking with people who are in the same boat as me really gave me hope and made me realise that I’m not alone so I hope that this group will also help you too!

Some background about me: I was from JC and my rp was 86.625. I applied for NTU and NUS ABAS the first year and did not get shortlisted by both schools. I then decided to matriculate into NUS life science. The subsequent year, I applied to transfer to NUS medicine again via ABAS. I got shortlisted but was rejected after that. Over the next few months, I will also share some of my personal experiences (such as what studying life science is like and what I think NUS look out for in your ABAS portfolio) in hope that it will help some of you. If there are any seniors who would also like to share your experience, do join the group too!

Hi. I am in Sec 1 this year. For the Edusave scholarships award, are the IP and o levels track people separated? As in the award is given only to the top 10% among the IP cohort and top 10% of the o level track cohort? Or is it given to top 10% of the whole Sec 1 cohort(not separating the IP and O level track people)?
