From NTU website: Interviews at LKCMedicine will consist of Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI), where candidates will undergo several one-to-one interviews with different interviewers, designed to assess a candidate’s aptitude and suitability for the MBBS programme. Applicants invited for the selection interviews will complete a series of eight mini interviews, each lasting approximately five minutes, conducted consecutively in eight separate interview rooms.

Thanks! Oh, the Military Medicine Institute also abbreviated as MMI (SAF). UCAT Will be interesting.. wonder how different it would be from BMAT. All the best to those applying!

It’s good to have all the requirements and criteria vying for a chance to study medicine. But times and again many excellent applicants still not successful to get into medicine. When you don’t get shortlisted or unsuccessful after interviews, just don’t be despaired but try to improve on your chances and try again in the next rounds of admission.


If you will get a chance to be shortlisted for an interview, whether you will be accepted after the finalization depends on "luck" at play at the medical school’s side and yours too.

"Luck" means what the medical school is looking for at that specific year of admission requirements. You see yearly total intake only admitting 500 students. NUS medicine only takes roughly 300 students, NTU 140 students and DUKE NUS 60 students. This is only part of the competition, they also need to look into Genders, Races, Academic inclination, Distinctive mental and moral qualities. I think quota allocation was also set for taking in "A" Level students from various JCs, IB schools, Polytechnic and those applying through ABAS respectively.

There are many excellent students vying for such a limited seats. So it will be "Luck" if you get to be accepted. Just look at those vying through their university with DUKE NUS (A post-graduate medical school) pathway for medicine. So many students applied, may be shortlisted about 60 applicants for interviews and only about 15 of them being accepted on their "conditional" admission. So you see how "Luck" was evolving here. Likewise "Luck" is applicable for NUS and NTU as well.

I wonder why with a 90 UAS, 5.7,5.7 and 4A, my child didn’t receive a notice to attend MMI.

You mean your child received from NUS already?

[Namie]

No he has not. NUS stated they will only notify after closing date. But for NTU’s LKC school, some of his classmates were notified to attend its MMI.

Regarding the closing date for application to YLL, does it apply to all students? I rbr seeing that nush students are to apply in nov-dec 2022 but DS says deadline is this month.

Passion to embark on medicine is not a spur of the moment interest. It's being built up over the years of pondering why you wanting to be a doctor is important to you. Some take up allied health jobs to learn and experience first hand how our professional health people handle patients and work hand in hand with fellow colleagues to provide the best outcome for the sick and needy. They also keep themselves abreast of the latest happening and advancement in the medical events locally and elsewhere. They eat sleep also dream and reading articles on medicine.

You do not need the best coaching to handle medicine interviews. One has to think outside of the box when handling the questions. Some questions might be IQ like, some on daily events happening , human etiquette and integrity. In front of the panel of judges, look up, be natural and confident. keep calm, listen carefully to the questions, analyze its key intention as the questions may looked simple and straight forward in layman terms but they want you to think in medical approach and reply. So don't overlook and jump to conclusion. The judges are looking out for candidates with confidence, careful and attentive listener, with good mental dexterity and agility.
