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.:congrats:abc12454\" post_id=\"2024000\" time=\"1621007462\" user_id=\"191892: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 ds 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 DS 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 ds.
Seeing ds 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).
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!
