If my child is taking his A levels this year, does he apply for degree courses this year? I’m very confused. If he is offered a place, they will keep the place for him til he finishes NS? If he does not get offered (only interested in med or dentistry and nothing else), can he apply again the next year with the same results?
Yes he can apply this year. either he can postpone his NS if he get Medicine or he can hold the uni entrance until he complete his NS. For local universities medicine you can apply only once. For NUS you can apply 2nd time through ABAS. thats all

Is higher mother tongue D7 for O level compulsory for NTU med school or is it a choice? If I am not taking higher mother tongue and I got an S grade for H1/H2 mother tongue, does it still suffice?

Thanks.
K.

Online says ¼ let us prove it…

2000 applicants apply to study for medicine annually
1200 gets shortlisted
(1200/2000)x100=60%
Those people / students who are afraid of not getting accepted for shortlist round as you cannot appeal after that, you have not 50/50 but 60/40 chance of getting shortlisted. 40% rejected for shrtlist rnd.

Hooray! You had just completed 1/2 the challenge to medicine!

After you had completed your interview. NUS ONLY secures 280 places for this current year.
That means (280/1200)x100=23% which is near equivalent to ¼.

Do not worry if you got rejected this round, you can appeal next round next year via aptitude based admission.
Keep your hopes high, if you secure NTU and NUS both places you would have 46% chance of getting accepted to one of those schools (nearly 50/50).

If you were to appeal, you would have to write a 1000 essay and it must be related to your dedication towards medicine. Tip 1, Prove it.

Down below are the list what I think of as it.

- Other than sufficing the minimum requirement you must score straight A’s for all subjects to secure a place in med.
- During your entrance essay, include achievements in relationship with bio/chem or other subjects. Your essay must be a grade A type.

Anyone want to object? Or provide tips?

Nothing is impossible if we only believe. Don’t give up and always look for alternative if life doesn’t go your way.

Your cousin may have missed the BMAT, it’s unfortunate so the local option now is only NUS as far as direct MBBS is concerned.

Hi all, my DS was not offered a place in LKC. Disappointed especially since it has been a very long wait, but I'm sure he will be able to excel in another course.
Hi! Kibblesmoke,
No worry, you have good company. At least we know the wait was finally over.

If your DS is still passionate about medicine, he could still pursue a post-graduate MD at Duke-NUS after getting his degree or if he is serving NS, he can still try applying again next year via Aptitude Based Admissions. All roads lead to Rome and if there's a will there's a way.

Quotes that will inspire your DS on his next course of study: -
1 – “Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.” – Pelé, Brazilian football legend.

2 – “Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.” – Stephen King, author.

May the future be peaceful, prosperous and joyful for all of us here and our childrens. See you soon, cheers and adios!

With your continued encouragement and support, your intelligent and resilient son will thrive in his course. It is not necessarily a bad outcome.

Take some time to rest. All the best to you and your son.

With your statement, u are making assumption that 5As hv higher IQ and ability than the 8As. There could also be many 5As who has been failing in school exams and somehow after the tscore moderation, managed to get 5As etc (like my daughter who gave us a surprise) and we are worried if NUS selected the right candidates this year without SJT and just made decisions based on a few minutes interview and whether she could cope in NUS.
It would be nice if you could update us next year. it would be interesting to find out. 😄

Hi! WearMask,
Your DD knows better. The good results that she got was the consistency of her studies that went through various stages of the studying process in school. If she is able to take stress and handle the load of the subjects she is studying then you shouldn't be worrying.

Example my son from a neighbourhood Primary and Secondary School, has been doing fine in his studies and exams. Obtained a 2 pointers after offsetting from his bonus points (HCL subject) at 'O' level and got in to an elite JC. The environment has become very challenging, tight competition, peers pressure, taking subjects at higher levels and with very minimal coaching from the teachers. It was totally a strange new environment and he has to begin coping with it from day one. All his peers were from their affiliate primary and secondary school. They were well prepared for this new environment 2 years before coming into their JC. So what do you think of an ordinary 'O' level student from an ordinary neighborhood school? His peers were a mixes of races and also foreign, they were all smart, bright and ambitious. They ace through all exams with a breeze. Well, my son has to study extremely hard to be on par with them else he will be considered an outcast of his class and a shame.

It was of no fault of his \"elite\" school and the smart students. Yes, it was a challenging and stressful environment but it takes time for him to familiarize the ground. Fortunately his earlier schooling days has taught him how to juggle and spread out his time to study productively. Else he would be burnt-out by stress and worries.

From then his peers and teachers respected him for his courage and abilities. Those that is not prepared to be in the \"elite\" school should not try to join such schools. They are better off studying in a normal JC with teachers and students that are helpful, friendlier and approachable.

So your DD knows much better about her abilities. If she has accepted to go ahead with her choice then I believe she has the determination to do well.
