The title is self-explanatory. I am really really grateful that I got into NUS med but I have been thinking about this since I got the offer.

I don’t think I performed that well during the interview because I stutter quite a bit whenever I speak. I always feel inferior compared to others because of this. I think my friends who are really great speakers and who are able to carry themselves well deserve to be in som more than me and I was so shocked to find out that they were rejected.

Even though they didn’t say anything in front of me, their facial expressions and their tone told me that they thought the same thing about my offer, that they deserved the spot more than me.

I understand the app process is holistic but I really feel that a person who can’t even deliver messages clearly shouldn’t be a doctor.

After seeing a Reddit post saying that NUS and NTU med accepted applicants without straight As, H3 subjects, and similar achievements, I started wondering whether other factors, such as appearance or the schools people came from, matter during interviews, since the application process is so opaque.
