NUS YLL/ DENTISTRY ADMISSIONS Help

Hi all, just wanted to share some thoughts for those prepping for Med/Dentistry interviews right now. Last year I was pretty confident—90RP, decent portfolio, the usual. I thought I could "wing" the interview.

I was wrong lollll. During a mock, I realized my "ethics" answers were super shallow and my manual dexterity for the MDT was p bad.

I ended up getting some help from a boutique firm called the admissionslabsg (found them through a senior) which was rly useful ngl. tbh, something which stuck w me was that the focus wasnt "what to say," but how to actually think through a dilemma using a proper framework which proved useful in the interview stages

My biggest tips for you guys:

1. Stop memorizing answers. They can tell.
2. For MDT prep - practice under time pressure. Time flies by when you are under pressure
3. Don't neglect the "Why this school" question

If anyone is struggling with their write-ups or wants to know more about the MMI/ FSA/ MDT format I faced, feel free to ask! Happy to pay it forward since I know how stressful this window is.
