Hey, Congratulations!
Now I am wondering if September Applicant Day people should stop hoping for a good news
Are you Singaporean? MD-PhD?
Sep applicant here as well, more or less given up hope already. Guess it just wasnt meant to be eh.Thank you for the updates and congratulations!!
Yes, I am a September applicant and I think my chances of getting an offer in the near future is low. It has past 3months point for me.
Actually I feel free letting it go and getting it off my chest.Sep applicant here as well, more or less given up hope already. Guess it just wasnt meant to be eh.
Do you mean that you applied in September or you interviewed (attended Applicant Day) in September. If you interviewed in September, I wouldn't count yourself out by any means. If you mean you submitted your application in September, then maybe things are more bleak.Actually I feel free letting it go and getting it off my chest.
But the next year could be for you if you continue to work on your application/ MCAT scores

I interviewed in September. Really appreciate what you said but I think my chances are quite low.Do you mean that you applied in September or you interviewed (attended Applicant Day) in September.

In other news, I thought this would be the week for me, but haven't heard a peep
And then 2020 is going to pass with no news.No news before Christmas.
Merry Christmas to everyone!
Congrats on offer from Syd.dont lose hope everyone!
I have not received anything either, not even interviews I was accepted in Uni Syd, but I much prefer to do it locally here.
Happy new year to everyone!!
I don't think so. Only the accepted students have received emails. They have asked us to wait for 2-5 months from the date of the interview.Does anyone know if they send out an email informing us if we are waitlisted and not rejected?
..and Happy New Year all!
One person posted awhile back that they got the MD-PhD offer already. But I know a bunch of us are still wondering. Good luck!Anyone know when the PhD decision for MD-PhD candidates will be made? Or has anyone already received the PhD offer
Still no news.Good morning, everyone! Is the 15th the day you will hear? Fingers cross for you all!
Hopefully!Good morning, everyone! Is the 15th the day you will hear? Fingers cross for you all!
Thank you.Hopefully!
Congrats! Where did you get accepted?
Sure!Thank you.
I don’t want to share that until all the decisions have been made.
I hope Duke-NUS starts giving us some decisions soon though!
yeah it really is difficultIt’s chinese New Year this weekend. It seems like no one (or at least those are on this forum) got a reply so far in the month of January. Oh well...
Hopefully we get some reply soooon. It’s really difficult to plan ahead when everything is hanging like this. :/

HeyHi everyone,
I received a notification for a follow-up interview last friday. However, I asked the adminstration to drop my application because I am looking for other career choices (partly because I saw the Singapore medical system for its flaws). I hope this spot will go to another more deserving candidate in Duke-NUS.
Wish you guys all the best!
Thank you for respecting my request and explicitly stating your opinions. Best wishes for your career!First of all, I am not bashing anything against medicine in Singapore. For me, the following are the considerations:
1) Lost income for 4 years and in debt for the schooling period despite financial aid.
2) Bottlenecks at every career point. I have spoken to multiple MO who have been competing into limited training spots for years. I was even told that some who got into residency quit halfway because they realise there are no guaranteed consultant jobs. All these is after the straight out of med school residency application system is abolished. Post grad board exams have low passing rates that are set arbitrarily. Therefore, for someone to progress in the medical career, it takes a much longer and harder toll now. All these are legit considerations for guys
to consider. In the open house they show you that u can do your training after graduation, but reality can different.
3) The system does not and will my protect its juniors as long as the bond exist. The bond exist to tie you down in a system where you have no where to run even when you are overworked. They can place an 80 hour work limit but behind the scenes can be different.
In conclusion, this is my observation from shadowing many docs from multiple healthcare clusters (trust me I invested alot of days into shadowing). Basically, you have to look beyond the medical school phase and think about life after graduating and the system you are under. Yet again, these are just my opinions but I applaud anyone who has the passion for a career in medicine! It will be tough but hopefully worth it for you! I hope my spot will be given to someone else more deserving.
