Someone posted on Reddit yesterday that he just got Medicine offer . But it was his second choice, Dentistry was his first . Seems likely he had to wait for Dent to “reject” him before Med could offer
Anyone received Dentistry admission?[/quote]

Just wondering if this means that whether one put medicine as first choice, only choice, 2nd, 3rd or even 4th choice does not matter (unlike secondary and JC selection where ranking of choice matters)? Logically, if one puts a course as a first choice, the person would be more keen to pursue it compared to his second choice. If a candidate is selected even though he might have put medicine as his second or third choice, then where do those who put medicine as their first and perhaps only choice stand, assuming that all were called up for interviews? Do candidates who put medicine as 2nd choice rank higher than those who are on the waiting list although the waiting list outcome is released before the 2nd choice outcome? Don’t hope to offend anyone but just wondering how the system works.

I suppose it works exactly same as secondary / JC selection, except MED or Dentistry should be selected as 1st or 2nd choice...no 3rd or lower choice.

Ranking is individual candidate's choice, which is independent of other candidates choice and should not to be compared. Uni offers seat depending on seats availability and candidate's suitability for the interviewed course. -

Candidates are ranked according to their performance (at the interviews / MMIs / SJT FST), & then, their choice selection. So assuming there are 100 places for a highly coveted course , eg, Medicine , the candidate ranked #100 who has placed Med as 1st choice will be offered AHEAD of the candidate ranked #59 (for eg) who has put Med as 2nd choice . Assuming this candidate (who’s ranked #59) put Law as 1st choice and he got into Law , then he won’t be placed into Med. And the waitlisted candidate ranked at #101 will be offered . But if Law rejects this rank #59 dude , Med can still offer him & his offer will be ahead of #101 . This is what I deduced , tho I could be wrong . Just sharing my own observation

Any parents with DS/DD having double offers wiling to share which schools they are inclining towards? My DS having hard time choosing as on one hand, he really likes the NTU’s TBL teaching style. On the other hand, NUS is established and seems more vibrant..Hope to receive some diverse opinions regarding which sch to choose

Was there before; even though skewed towards LKC, my dd accepted YLL at the very last day of deadline in teary eyes.
Chat with her again before sharing this.
Yes, LKC TBL is interesting way of learning and support within small group. YLL CG grouping is very similar concept and change grouping very year.
Truth is 2 seniors of my DD is still in LKC (going into yr4 & 5 this years); after all the sparks settled, it is all about studying med, as is with YLL...
We were told (not sure if it is correct), LKC med faculty is kind of isolated within NTU.
Novena site is interesting but a distance away and travel time in between is kind of inconvenience.
YLL is consolidated within NUS which is a good thing.
The vibrant thing; probably won't there to feel it now, since covid-19 killed all orientation programs.
We felt it in 2019, YLL med-rag was so impressive, changed our thoughts about med-students.
Very diverse combination in cohort, heard med-faculty topped most sport events before covid, year after year.
Bigger cohort, therefore the current & future social connection will be bigger.
As I mostly meet med students from YLL, I cant share what LKC is like.
Though YLL dont gives the good feel and vibe compared to LKC at this selection point, I can see that YLL med-students
are more than capable to self-motivate and achieve what they set out to do in the med-course.
Frankly, we are skewed to YLL from the start , wife & I just didn't impose that thought to dd.
Seeing dd completing 2nd year and going into 3rd year in YLL...I will say, not going with the LKC was not a lost.
Think...be a big fish in a big pond (~150) or bigger pond (~300). -

After weeks of thinking hard, my DS finally decided on NUS. Was a tough decision to let go of NTU as my DS really enjoys the TBL system. In the end, he feels that NUS would be a more holistic environment to grow in.

Totally agree with you that we should all let our DS/DD make the tough decision on their own since as future doctors, they would have to make many more tough choices down the road. All we can do is to support them with whatever choice they make in the end 👍🏼 Either way, most important thing is to enjoy and fulfill the most of whichever med sch they choose!
Adding on, my DS will not be disrupting this year so all the best for those still waiting for their waitlist offers! -

Now that your ds has decided; next right thing to do is accept the offer from NUS.
In so doing, the offer from NTU will be freed, the waitlisted will get the offer...making another happy med-student.
We took too long in our time, accepting on last day...come to think about it, quite not necessary on our part... :stupid:
Other in waitlist is in pray-mode...
ALL the best from here on. -
Has anyone heard from Dentistry ?
