Anyone from the 7th/21st Nov or Durham applicant days heard back so far? Feels like there has been no news so far🥲
 
For those who got the jan interview, when was the interview date for January? Seems pretty quiet - no one I know went for jan interview?

According to the duke-nus website, the applicant day for Jan was on 9 Jan! I don’t know anyone who went for it though.
 
Accepted! Got an email today about my admissions decision (had to check portal for status update). Attended Nov 3rd AD in Durham.

would telegram be better so there is no need to divulge personal numbers among one another? and perhaps those who got in can DM Raymond directly instead of posting it in the thread - so we can keep the thread focused to those awaiting for outcomes/going for interviews else it is too much extra messages to sieve through for newcomers

PS raymond would you kindly open DMs so those successful ones who wants to join the group can DM? :)

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the kind suggestion! Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with telegram at all and haven't even used it before :( If others also want to use this APP maybe someone that knows the telegram well can start the group for us? Much appreciated!
 
Hii, has anyone from the Nov/Dec SG applicant day received notifications from Duke-NUS? 🥲
 
anyone know if bursary and merit scholarship come together or separately?
 
Upon browsing the internet, I found many complaints about the medical train in Singapore such as few residency spots and consultants spots.

The long years of training, heavy workload, and low salary as junior doctors do not concern me as it is the same in many other countries. However, I am wondering if anyone can provide an accurate estimate of the percentage of medical school graduates that go into residency.

The bursary for me came a few days after the acceptance. I believe the merit scholarships will be given out between March and June, so they'll be separate.
 
Hi, anyone is applying for Duke-NUS QBM/IBM PhD program?

It varies year to year. Not a lot. And residencies are competitive, most residents are from yll/Lkc not duke. U can see the distribution of where duke ppl go to after grad on their website. Those in residency, most go IM and FM. About 50% of cohort in residency incl 25% in IM and 12% FM.

I guess 50% is an okay number. Most residents are from yll/lkc- it is because they have a much larger class cohort or is it because they have a higher rate of acceptance?

Look at percentages with reference to cohort size. Not at absolute numbers.

Hi everyone, I got my offer last December but found no way to get in touch with anyone else. Now I just know this forum, and would like to ask if any foreigner like me is considering renting a house around SGH?

Separately, my bursary was given only one month after my accepting the offer and I was told that the merit scholarship would come in mid-March.

Congrats on the acceptance! I'm also international and I believe there will be an online forum in April for international students to connect with each other and learn more about housing in Singapore.

Thanks! Since there is no student dormitory in Duke-NUS, it seems we need to find a suitable place on our own.
NUS did give a reference for off campus accommodation. Yoha: Pearls can be a suitable place with reasonable pricing and great geographical convenience. if not choosing from student hostiles or NUS Kent ridge residence, we may need to rent outside (which may be better).
We can discuss more in the telegram group and my telegram name is the same.
 
If there’s anyone who’s been rejected post interview / no interviews and are planning to reapply in later years, I am going to make a support group through this period (if enough are interested) and perhaps we can even hold study sessions for those retaking mcat etc , pls pm me if interested.

Applicants who initially did not make it, but subsequently got offered this round - we will be more than grateful if you could also give feedback to reapplicants in the same situation as you were years ago! Feel free to pm me too!
 
Hi all, I'm a newbie of this forum. My friends just recommended me this site a few days ago. I'm just wondering for those received an offer in this cycle, is a MCAT score 514 to 516 enough for admission? Anyone with that range of score could get in this round? Please dm me as I really hope to seek some advices from you guys. Your advice is appreciated! Thz a lot!

They look at it holistically, so a 514-516 does not guarantee acceptance and a 510-511 might be accepted if they are holistically more competitive than the 514-516 individual.

If you have questions, ask the adcoms directly, we can't be any better than them in advising what they are looking for
 
Interviewing at Durham in March 13. I was told that we will attend 2 rounds of faculty interviews and complete a written exercise. In an email they told me that the written excercise is "not an assessment activity" but does not specify what it is about. Does anyone know what the written excercise is about and will it be used to evaluate our candicacy?
