Guys,
I have not heard anything back after I submitted my application. My application was submitted on January 11, but MCAT scores were released on Feb 24. Do you think there is higher chance of rejection?

Hmm I think this is a bit tricky, since by now they are probably all done with Applicant Days... You can email the admission office to check 🙂

 

[existentialcrisis]

Is it normal to wait for 3 1/2 months for an outcome (still waiting), or are my chances of being accepted quite bleak?

I waited for a little over 3 months. Keep your head up, mate.

No one but the admissions office knows that. Get in touch with them. They’re really helpful.

 

[uwu-chan]

When did you interview? December?

Yeps, in SG.

I see, thanks so much.

 

[StudentMcGriddles]

This is purely speculation but I have a feeling the admitted students webinar was moved as there may be a new round of offers being sent out...hmm

They postponed this? When did they postpone it to? Thanks!

 

[waitingapplicant]

what is the admitted students webinar about?

 

[Chinmonology]

Anyone knows if any offers for the Feb and Mar Applicant Day participants have been made yet?

 

[StudentMcGriddles]

Anyone knows if any offers for the Feb and Mar Applicant Day participants have been made yet?

Interviewed in March, haven't heard anything. Worried that offers have already been sent out and it's a rejection 🙁

 

[Chinmonology]

I interviewed in Feb, and also haven't heard anything. I think the admissions office hasn't sent out any offers yet for Feb and March people, so maybe there's still hope there!

 

[Kelv0009]

It is April from tmr onwards, al the best to those who are still waiting for the outcome!

 

[chocolate.lover]

Any acceptance lately? 🙂

 

[Applicant234]

All the best to everyone still waiting!! 🙂

 

[Chinmonology]

I think they just released a new batch of offers today, just received mine! One day after April Fool's day haha.

Congrats @Chinmonology ! I just received my offer today as well 🙂 All the best to those still waiting!!

Congratulations!! If you don't mind me asking, when did y'all interview?

 

[DNapplicant123]

Thank you!! I interviewed in Sg on 11 Feb.

 

[Chinmonology]

Same here! I must have seen you during Applicant's Day haha

 

[duckyduckgoose]

Anyone who interviewed in March hear back yet?

 

[existentialcrisis]

Anyone who interviewed in March hear back yet?

I interviewed for the PhD component in March. Was told I’d hear back by the third week of April.

 

[DNapplicant123]

Same here! I must have seen you during Applicant's Day haha

Haha hello! See you arnd 🙂

 

[existentialcrisis]

Congratulations to all new offer recepients! See you around 🙂

 

[waitingapplicant]

Anyone still waiting?

 

[uwu-chan]

Anyone still waiting?

still waiting...

 

[waitingapplicant]

still waiting...

Me too. I think chances are slim. How long have you been waiting?

 

[existentialcrisis]

still waiting...

Me too. I think chances are slim. How long have you been waiting?

When did you interview? And for just MD or MD/PhD?

 

[duckyduckgoose]

I’m also still waiting, along with a few others who interviewed with me. We interviewed on Mar 4 at Duke, we all just interviewed for MD. PhD component was a separate interview from that day. was told we’d hear back earliest during the last week of March but more likely will be early April. They also said that no news was good news. So I don’t know but I THINK they still haven’t released the last round of offers....I hope. Seems the previous round released was more for Feb interviewees. Correct me if I’m wrong! Good luck to those still waiting as well, hang in there

 

[uwu-chan]

When did you interview? And for just MD or MD/PhD?

Dec 10, for MD. A couple of people who interviewed with me have either been accepted/rejected around mid-march til now, but I just haven't heard anything back yet.

 

[ocha_ken00]

Anyone still waiting?

Been radio silence for me ever since I interviewed in October.
Ugh.

I thought they haven’t sent out any rejections?

 

[imp_44]

Has anyone been rejected yet?

 

[existentialcrisis]

Has anyone been rejected yet?

Not that I know of.

 

[waitingapplicant]

Not that I know of.

I heard of a few, but I am not sure of the details.

 

[chocolate.lover]

I heard of a few, but I am not sure of the details.

I heard rejections have been sent out too. So no news is good news at this point...

 

[ReginaZ0403]

Just withdrew my offer. Hope my seat goes to one of you!

 

[Applicant234]

Just withdrew my offer. Hope my seat goes to one of you!

Just got my offer today! Immensely grateful 🙂

 

[MDApplicant101]

Just got my offer today! Immensely grateful 🙂

Congratulations! Did you receive a call or email? And when was your Applicant Day?

 

[waitingapplicant]

Did anyone receive any updates about your status? Like if your application is still under active review? Because I am preparing for the worst now.

 

[Applicant234]

Congratulations! Did you receive a call or email? And when was your Applicant Day?

Thank you very much!! I received an email. Had my applicant day on 21 Jan in singapore.

 

[chocolate.lover]

Just got my offer today! Immensely grateful 🙂

Hmm... it does give me the feeling that all the seats have been filled. Anyone can enlighten me on this issue?

 

[StudentMcGriddles]

Does anyone know what is the difference between Under Review and Under Active Review? Mine has been stuck at Under Review since the interview...

 

[existentialcrisis]

If I am not mistaken (source: reddit; two people have interviews next week) that interviews are still ongoing. Seats are probably still open.

 

[MDApplicant101]

Mine has always been under review, before and after the interview, if I am not wrong.

 

[chocolate.lover]

This is a good news to hear. But on the side note, I think it's quite inconvenient and upsetting that Duke-NUS keeps holding its decision till the end, especially when offers (for those submitting multiple places) are coming in and the students need full information to make informed decision on where to go next.

which reddit thread is this?

Mine has also been "under review", it's never been "under active review". Does "under active review" exist?? Is it different?

Also for people who have jobs. My colleagues are always asking if I’m leaving or staying, because it’ll take them a proper few months to find a replacement.
And I’m always like, “I don’t know!”

 

[waitingapplicant]

Have you guys tried calling the school? I am tempted to.

Totally agree with you. My boss keep asking me if I am staying but my reply is always "I don't know".

And she's holding back my promotion because she don't want to promote someone who is going to leave the job soon.

I think it's this one:

I thought all the Applicant Days are over, so this seems a little odd...

 

[imp_44]

Sounds like that OP is confusing the NUS Medicine (Yong Loo Lin) with Duke-NUS. The same op is active in threads discussing their A levels results and admission to undergraduate programs. I don’t think they’re interviewing at Duke-NUS.
