        What is the course fee now?
        YLL 2019/2024 batch, 2 x $14,602 for each semester.
        Bond was $620,000
        LKC is $5-6k more per year.

        Fee is increasing every year... 😓

          My good friend's son has perfect A for all subjects but was not able to get in NUS after two interviews. Now happily studying in other country. So wonder what special requirements are they looking for?

          2000+ apply for 450+ (YLL + LKC) in med, some apply for den with 150 places. It is that competitive !
          Other then those few with scholarship, some opt for overseas study, if dad&mum foundation/holding is financially able to support. Bright side is, in some cases, SG does offer to pay the expenses of overseas tuition fees to bring these docs back after they finished the study. This is real.

          While I am still fresh, the shortlisting & selection process for interview and tests are unknown...Best guesses.
          Perfect or near perfect RP had to be 1st gate (All applicant almost same), what make candidate stands out ?

          Need time to think and organize these for submission.
          What & how involved is the candidate in community/public services ?
          What & how outstanding is the candidate in leadership (school CCA,...) ?
          500 words essay - Why my reason is better than other, why I should be given a short at interview & tests.
          On-line recommendation - Prepare to request a teacher who know your strength, he/she has to sell it.

          Say if selected for interview - This is where candidate has to show the 'passion' and 'compassionate' parts, FTF, in words.
          Role play in tests - Short time to complete several tasks in different settings, also want to pick up candidates with passion to serve...
          (Dentistry : test to bend wires into shapes, make molar with playdough)

          Say if gotten offer and accepted the course, SGPorean receive tution grant.
          Sign bond, now the candidate+Dad+Mum are indebted $620 (2019), later more expensive...

            Hi, one of my daughter’s fren asked me this qn, though I am even more clueless than her.

            She has 90rp, took 3H2 (ChemEconMaths), 3H1 (PhyGpPw), can she apply for Med?
            I read online ystd that Med reqm is 2H2 Sci, one must be Chem, the other must be Bio/Phy.
            I can’t remember exactly, but I seem to recall Med’s reqm was only H2 Chem.
            Another friend with 90rp, 3H2 (ChemEconMaths), 3H1 (BioGpPw) is also keen to apply.
            Shld they go on ABAS for better chances?

              Just to add, one of them called admissions and they said ppl with 1H2 Chem and 1H1 other Sci have got into Med before

                From the YLL admissions website:

                GCE ‘A’ Levels
                A good H2 pass in Chemistry and H2 pass in either Biology or Physics of the best four content subjects (i.e. three H2 and one H1 content subjects) used in the computation of the University Admission Score, at least one content subject (either H2 or H1) must be from a contrasting discipline.

So I am rather confused by NUS admissions. I understand the uni looks at the rp to filter for interviews. Not sure if they are concerned with specific H1/H2s taken.
                  I suppose my daughter’s frens can try ABAS and see what happens.
                  All the best to all who are applying!

                      For admission to medicine,

                      H2 Chem and H2 Physics/Bio are requirements.
                      H1 for other subjects is fine.
                      No exceptions to these requirements.
