Hello everyone! I interviewed on 14 Sep and received an offer on 6 Nov. All the very best to those who are still waiting!! Don't lose hope and stay positive! Really excited to meet all of you guys in school!

Hi, May i know what your stats were like? That is if you are comfortable sharing!

Hello,

I think your GPA is considered good. However, our school has a strict cut-off for MCAT. I am wondering if you can retake MCAT and get AT LEAST 513. I cannot tell you the details as a current med student at Duke-NUS. However, if I were you, I would retake it. You can try the other med entrance exam GAMSAT.

Hi kjs8028, understand that 2021 batch average mcat score has increased by a good 3 points. I was wondering if you know whether the strict cut off has increased to 516? (': thank you so much

Sure. 3.7GPA, 514 MCAT. Most of my extracurriculars are volunteering positions.



From what I understand from the Q&A sessions I've attended, MD-PhD students are placed in the same pool as MD students, as in they need to be accepted into the MD program. After that they are placed into a PhD admissions cycle where they have additional interviews to determine acceptance into the PhD program. Best thing to do would be to ask the admissions team if you have any specific questions, they're very responsive and quite friendly.

May I ask what kind of volunteer activities have you took part in? I'm year 3(tho not until sept) but I'm not sure when is best to take mcat and when to start doing volunteer... would help so much if you could offer some advice！
