Hi Parents,

After the meet-and-greet meeting held on last Saturday from both medicine school, did your DS/DD change their minds about choosing medicine school?

Yes. If we come to that , then for prestige and heritage, he should take the Oxbridge offer with secured scholarship!
At their age, I see our roles as facilitators to help them make their own decisions. We can give input but the decision will have to be theirs as it will be the lives they lead.

If able to get in Oxbridge with secured scholarship then why not? :lol:

I hope child will be able to go in to both and experience for himself. The timings on 11 May do make it seem impossible to give each full due diligence.

What DS knows is - almost every senior who could choose regretted in a way not choosing LKC. However, they will laugh it off to just make best of it and focus on the positives cause opportunities are what you make of it. The regrets come primarily from welfare, culture and breathing space. Also, I believe LKC wants to immerse the new students to adjust well as doctors so clinicals and soft skills are incorporated very early on.
Meanwhile, YLL believes they have already sussed out all soft skills so less training is needed. Again, there is no good or bad. , just about fit and Individual personalities or traits which can benefit more from which culture.

YLL also has strong history while LKC is more accepting since it is pioneering. One senior summed it up as do you want to grow into the school or do you want to grow with the school ?

More importantly, I spoke to my friends who are teaching consultants for both - they take both clinical rotations at their hospitals ( diff days of the same week). They said no discernible difference in school “products” , at the ground it is the individual performance that is key. YLL are confident , LKC are well adjusted.

Also, talk to allied health as they are the ones who see these students “unmasked”. Head of allied health professor in one of the healthcare clusters told me over the weekend they prefer LKC as they are kinder and more team based. Could be unique to this one opinion so I encourage we all talk to more to get a better sense. Many are not aware that junior doctors have to work with nurses and allied health to actually succeed in their initial years. Burnout And mental health issues are real !

Whatever school, I am sure they have have seen something that was a fit or potential to be the type of doctor they want to grow. The key now is which will bring out the best and keep the learning journey happy and motivating?

Thanks for your info.
As a parent's point of view and will discuss with our kid is our concern of ranking of university and long story of university. What do you think?

What if you got an offer from NTU and NUS medicine. Which one will you prefer? Why?

[quote=\"kitty2011\"]Dear All,


I am signing up my child for the course. Can anyone pm their child's particulars so that we can both get the $30 voucher?

Hi,

PM you already, thanks!

Hi 0548ling, got your message. I will pm you when I have signed up. Currently, my child is in K1 and teacher advised that she takes up Launchpad. We are still contemplating whether to sign up. My child can recognise words and have no problem in reading but teacher said that still has time and wants to spend more time in learning phonics. Can I check did your child take up Launchpad beforehand? Is it good? Please advise. Thanks![/quote]Hi,

My daughter is in K2 now, she has joined LCentral on Aug last year. After the assessment, the teacher adviced us to take up Launchpad. After 1 team, the teacher advised that my daughter can go to Liftoff. The liftoff course is 33 sessions. She will complete the Liftoff in this May and get ready to take PSF course.
