Oh my God. The endless waiting drives me crazy. Does anyone receive any news since @Cyberdoc2077 got his offer?
Cyberdoc is all alone in the facebook group. They should stop making him lonely and add the rest of us! :p

Lmao. I wish I can join him
Duke-NUS should be more humanistic. Don't leave somebody alone and let's us all know the result on the same day. Haha
I can't control myself to send an email to ask the admission office. Jk :p

Maybe they’re really looking out for some of us. I mean, as long as I’m worried about not getting in, I keep my GPA up lol

Congrats! Some of the current students on the interview day said it usually takes about a month to hear back from the school. Based on what you and the current student said, I guess everyone should expect a month at least!

Thank you, and for the benefit of those who have yet to attend the applicant day, the team will explain why it takes a month at minimum for the good or bad news to arrive. If waitlisted, then it'll take longer, so I'm sure those who haven't heard back are not out of consideration yet!

As the waiting time gets longer, I find myself becoming more neurotic lol. I hope you all forget about the admission offers for now and just enjoy Thanksgiving!

During the endless waiting of my offer...I have some time to reflect on why I want to pursue medicine which I believe we have thought about this question for so many times before the interview. At the same time, I keep telling myself it is the best time to think about it again because I wouldn't have time to reflect on this when I enter med school or working. My answer at this current stage is simple; I just want to acquire a skill that saves someone's life and dedicate my life to do something meaningful. That's it. This simple dream empowers me to study hard for these few years.
How about you guys? Let's share to release some stress~The waiting almost drive me crazy, haha~

Aww sweet

Mine is rather simple too: medical science saved my life, literally gave me a second lease of life. And I hope to dedicate this second chance to make the same difference to others out there.

Still no offer. :/ Nearly Christmas.

@aquietplace Congratulations!
I applied for MD-PhD too
I interviewed on September 30
When was your interview?
Could you share your stats, research and volunteering experience?
Thank you!

Thanks:) They will only notify about the PhD portion a few months later.

My interview was on the 30th of Sept as well, we could have met!!
About 100hrs of volunteering experience, but I work doing research in an institute so I guess I have some work experience(~2 years).
Did decently well for my bachelors, MCAT was ~80th percentile.
I am a re-applicant though

I don't think I have any other things that are outstanding in my opinion.

Don't lose hope guys:)!!

Thank you for the reply
Yup just waiting
Got an email that says a webinar exclusive for early applicants. Wondering if the selected ones got it too?

No offer yet. Thus the webinar email is puzzling to me. I wish they can tell us results earlier (accept/reject). :/

Can’t attend the webinar anyway since it happens on a workday morning.
