Hi! I'm new here. I'm going for the interview on 11th Dec. Hope that it is not too stressful. 🙂

 

[ting2]

Hey K7k6. Don't worry. The faculty and the students are all very friendly. I had a great experience. You should do fine. Just be yourself=)

All the best!

[Picklesali]

Hey, when I saw the title of this thread I thought it was

Duke Nukem

Did anyone play that outrageous video game?

Hi Singkri, Have you got your call? When are you interviewing? All the best!

 

[singkri]

Yea, got my call a few days ago-- I'm interviewing on 24 Jan too Spyderdrew!!

it does sound very flattering-- their interview call 😉

 

[singkri]

wow.. how many interviews do they have per month? From ting2's blog I think it was about 12 per interview, but could be more towards our batches, cs its with more applications, rite?

 

[singkri]

Oops sorry about the constant msging- but i just keep posting without sayng everything i want to..ha ha

drew.. are you from NUS?

 

[spyderdrew3303]

mnyah mnyah... a lot of people applying this year. Does anyone know how many ppl are applying? Somehow I have a hunch that it is around 500 :S

Anyway Singkri, see you on the 24th. And no, I'm not from NUS. I'm from Germany.

 

[StudentT]

Hi, I also submitted my application on Dec 15. But I haven't got any call for interview yet. Anyone know how to check the application status? Thanks.

 

[spyderdrew3303]

Hey StudentT, the invitations are sent via e-mail. I don't know whether this applies to all though. Perhaps the people domiciling in Singapore are invited via phone calls instead. Not sure. You can always ask the GMS. I know my friend who is supposed to come for the 24th Jan interview will not be able to make it, so you can perhaps inquire about any 'unfilled' spots. Hey, who knows. They might even slip you in for an earlier interview. 😀

Thanks for your reply, spyderdrew. Is 24 Jan the last slot for the interview? Just wandering if I am already out of thier consideration for the application. Sigh.... A bit disappointed. Why your friend cannot make it for the interview, will they arrange another interview time for him/her? Anyway, good luck for you guys for the interview!

 

[spyderdrew3303]

Oh, she is negotiating for a later interview session. She is busy writing up her final thesis which is due on the 31st. I'll let you know on the decision. For now, be patient. 😀

 

[Undomiel]

Hey StudentT,
Sorry for not replying sooner. The GMS is still scheduling interviews for February. As I have explained earlier, my friend will be going to Singapore in February - the date, however, has not been settled. An official invitation will be sent out 3 weeks before the interview date.

 

[ting2]

msg deleted.

 

[singkri]

No Lah... i dont think Jan 24 is the last round- last year they interviewed all the way until March-- so I'm pretty sure they would do so this year too..

Worry not worry not

 

[singkri]

Spyder.. I remember that Dr.kamei mentioned in one of the outreaches tat applicants were almost 800-- this was in October/November.. not too sure-- but i do remember the number 800-- hearsay, hearsay..

Wow, look at the competition. It sends chills up my spine! For a new school with very small capacity (50), it has a looot of applicants. Oh well, see you on the 24th Singkri. I'll be arriving on the 23rd in Singapore. Woohoo excited!!!

Hi Spyderdrew, Thanks a lot for your reply. Enjoy your trip to Singapore and Good Luck for the interview!

 

[AmyCheang]

Anybody here? The silence is deafening... anybody has an idea of the next dates for interviews?

 

[dvan]

I'm just curious, is there anyone here, who was born in North America, who is considering committing the next ten years of their life to living in Singapore? Do you plan on coming back when you're done?

 

[singkri]

Oops.. this thread has been quiet-- guess everyones busy with stuff! Glad to meet some of you during the interview 🙂 Have u all started filling in the financial aid application?

 

[hra87]

Where did you guys send your LOR's?

 

[Undomiel]

i submitted my LORs to prof. Kamei coz they'd said on the site that the official transcripts and LORs have to be sent directly to him...
hope that helps....

 

[abcbaby]

hey, just wondering is there anyone applying for GMS this summer?

 

[Pi51]

Where did you guys send your LOR's?

I've collected my LORs and sent them myself. Seems fine with the GMS 🙂.

 

[Undomiel]

Congratulations in getting admitted to Duke-NUS GMS! Did you get your financial aid as well? BTW, I hope to estimate my chances of getting admitted. Do you mind sharing your CAP and MCAT results? If you are uncomfortable in revealing your results then that's ok. Congratulations to you again!

I just received the acceptance letter yesterday. My CAP is really not good, while the MCAT score might help me a bit (>35). Besides, I've got quite a bit research experience. Looking forward to meet everyone of you in the GMS.
