Congratulations! May I ask do you receive acceptance through email or it is in your application portal?
Thank you! The decision itself is in the application portal but I got an email simply letting you know an update is available.

I don’t believe accepting the offer is binding unless it is clearly stated
It's not binding.
"We understand that you are still in the process of hearing back from other medical schools and scholarship offer. Our scholarship awardees will be informed from April onwards. While acceptance of the admissions offer at this stage is non-binding, we always encourage applicants to accept only if they are reasonably certain they intend to matriculate. This approach ensures fairness to other applicants, particularly those on our waitlist, who are also eagerly hoping for a spot in the class.
It’s important to note that formal commitment to the programme is only confirmed upon signing the Service Obligation Bond with the Singapore Ministry of Health, which is scheduled to take place around May to June. However, confirming your acceptance as late as July would not be feasible, as we must finalise admissions offers and provide clarity to our waitlisted applicants well before then. Withdrawals at that point would unfortunately come too late in the cycle to accommodate others fairly."

omgg i get youu! I attended the Nov. 17th AD
wbu?
I attended the nov 17th AD too!
Just treat it like any other interview. I attended the one in Singapore, so I am not sure how the interviewers are in Durham, but for me, it was pretty chill. The interviewers were very friendly, and they just wanted to get to know me as a person. Read your application thoroughly and be prepared to talk about your experiences in depth. Good luck to you! Lmk if you want to know anything more.

I got the ‘still considered by management’ email and have no idea what it means
They sent the course management system to us and I see there's only 48 people rn, so I guess they are still far away from filling the class!
76 people rn, ig it's pretty near filled. people can still withdraw though
