    hey! Just wondering, how many international students get into NUS Med? I understand that you may not know the exact numbers, but maybe you have brief idea based on your classmates?

    Is it a must to have h2 maths for standing a change for medicine? or will h2 Bio and Chem with H1 maths still be eligible

    Hi, I am a Y4 student at HCI now, do taking up H3 Biology and Math in JC helps? I am also wondering from another comment that if you study MBBS in NUS, you can defer from enlistment and get to serve NS as Medical Officer. Do this happen 100% for sucessful applicants into NUS med or is it only for selected students? Btw some unnecessary questions, what JC did you graduate from and what CCA did you attend? Are you a prefect in secondary school/JC?

    • @noahsim4749
      @noahsim4749  Рік тому +2

      Hi! As long as you meet the subject requirements set by NUS med, you can be accepted. But having one subject combo doesn't give you a higher chance over another, as long as both fall within the requirements. With regard to NS enlistment, most people are offered the option to defer but I suppose there is no 100% guarantee.
      I graduated from ACS independent and I used to play ultimate frisbee haha. I wasn't a prefect in secondary school of JC. Actually I didn't even hold any leadership positions. Hope this helps

    Hi.. I want to ask so currently I am a 2nd year IB student and I ever read that the interview of NUS med application is on April but I will took my examination on May so How will NUS select me to enter the uni or not as the real score will be released around July while the interview is around April? Do NUS score as and select us based on our predicted score or how?

      Hi Tally, no there is no premed course. The undergraduate degree is a 5 year course, after which you have to work in public hospitals for at least 2 years before residency (if you choose to specialise). Hope this helps!

      Hello! After graduating, you are obligated to work in the hospital as a houseman for a year and then a medical officer for another year. After that, you can continue to work as a medical officer in the hospital, or begin residency. (Edit: you must serve your 5 year bond before working in private clinics as a GP.)

      There’s an increasing number of poly students entering medicine actually! Ofc you’re need to have near perfect GPA just like scoring near perfect RP in JC. (3.9 would be comfortable tho they may be more lax now)
      I think there’s about +/-10 poly students per batch out of 280 students in NUS, not too sure abt NTU.
      However, once you get the interview, yr score doesn’t matter that much anymore. It all depends on how well you do in the interview.

      Hey Samiya, people in Singapore usually apply after they take their A level exams in 12th grade. You will have to check the NUS medicine website to see whether they accept the qualification that your school provides. In terms of preparation, there is no extra exam you have to take.

      Hello, yes you can still apply to NUS even if you are an international student, as long as you meet the requirements (medicine.nus.edu.sg/admissions/pre-requisites/). As for scholarships, NUS automatically considers international students who apply; but you should google for scholarships from external organisations too.
