Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post but I couldn't find updates for Duke-NUS PhD Programmes; I don't know where else to post this. I hope it's alright.

I received an interview invitation via email on 5 Feb for their Applicant Day on 26 Feb. I'm not sure if they're sending more invites but I think one can call the admissions office. I applied for the IBM programme. Hope this helps those who applied to PhD programmes

Thanks! The email only stated the timing and a summary of what will happen throughout the day. So far, they didn't contact us if there are changes although they stated in the email to arrange an interview for another day if the applicant has been to China in the past 2 weeks.

Congrats! I got a mail on 11th for the same, I was actually hoping someone would mention PhD programmes as well since I was quite lost.

I was also on the waitlist, was on there for a few weeks

Hello, did those who got accepted observe a change in 'status' via the portal? If so, what was it changed to?

May I ask when you were interviewed and waitlisted? I was interviewed on the 14th of Oct and informed about being waitlisted on the 24th of Jan, I am wondering if there is any timeline or batch wise acceptance for those on the waiting list that I should look out for.

I was also on the waitlist, was on there for a few weeks

My interview was on 30 Sep. Waitlisted in Jan, but I don’t remember the exact date, it may have been 24 Jan too? (I already deleted the email)

Hi everyone,

has anyone some updates for the PhD-QBM (Quantitative Biology and Medicine) programme, especially how many people they accept (and maybe even the apply/accept rate)? Has anyone got an applicants day invitation yet?

sorry to post this here, but I could not find any other forum/site with updates or information for QBM. Hard to find any information...

 

[Fwfw]

I am so sorry to hear that! Did the status in the portal website get updated too?

Yes, it did. Changed to “rejected”.

 

[BEWD]

Got my MD offer today, interviewed on 30th sep. Still waiting for the PhD component though.

Congratulations! We must have met. I was in the same applicant day! See you in July!

 

[Sandpaperdragonheart]

Hi, could I check if “under review” is only for those who have attended Applicants’ Day? Or do they switch to “under review” after you have submitted. I submitted my application in Jan and no status change so far ...

In my knowledge they change after applicant day.

 

[kjs8028]

In my knowledge they change after applicant day.

I think so too. It was "submitted," then changed to "under review" after the applicant day.

Hi all, I just got an interview invite for march, since I submitted my app pretty late.. I applied for MD PHD, and I was wondering if I got an interview invite, does that mean I am getting interviewed for both portions (MD AND PHD)?

Also for those of you who got accepted OR rejected to MD PHD program, do you mind sharing your stats (gpa, mcat score) and specify your status?

Thanks so much!

Hello, you are going to have four interviews on that day (2 for MD and 2 for Ph.D.).
It is a pretty long and tough day for you, good luck!

Hi!
My stats
GPA: 3.89
MCAT: 513
Extensive research experience- no publication.
Shadowing- 150 hours
Minimal volunteering experience.
Applied for MD PhD
MD offer made and accepted
PhD rejected - asked to apply in MD second year again.
Be yourself and things will work out for you. Don't rely on the stats too much. I believe there are more factors involved than simply the numbers.
Best wishes for the interview

 

[hot_cheetah1]

Thank you! For those of you attending this school, are you all planning to practice in Singapore? Is this a bad option school if I want to eventually practice in the USA?

 

[chocvancake]

Hello! Any successful applicants mind sharing their stats and experiences during the interview? Thank you!!

Hi! I submitted my application on the last day of the deadline and submitted my MCAT score in Feb. My status was changed to "under review" after the committee acknowledged my MCAT email. However, I have not received any invitation to next week's applicant's day. How about you?

Hi! I submitted on the same day as you and have received the invite for Mar interview last wed. The admission committee did mention that invites will be sent out 1-2 weeks before the interview when I asked in Jan though.

Aaaah... thanks for your reply! Guess I gotta try again next year with a better MCAT score All the best to your interview

 

[watermelon.hammock]

How many schools has everyone applied to? Are they your backups to Duke-NUS?

 

[HiMed12]

Hey! I've received info that the 16 Mar applicant day would be done virtually online. And they mentioned that they might be having another applicant day in late Mar. Have hopes still! Good luck!

 

[euphemisms]

anyone from the Jan or Feb applicant days received any updates to their applications? Like waitlisted, accepted, or rejected? With the COVID situation I wonder how things will change since virtual interviews are never the same as in person..

Anyone who received updates for Dec applicant day as well (waitlisted, accepted or rejected)? It's been quite a while.
