NUS & NTU Medicine
Two schools, two very different selection processes. We help navigate FSA, MMI, UCAT, and everything in between.

The Paths to Medical School
Thousands of applicants apply to ~480 combined places across NUS and NTU every year.
NUS Yong Loo Lin
~280 places
Selection Process
FSA (Focused Skills Assessment)
FSA Format
Multiple stations testing communication, teamwork, and ethical reasoning. Includes collaborative tasks and scenario discussions.
Affiliations
NUH, SGH, KKH
NTU Lee Kong Chian
~170 places
Selection Process
UCAT (for shortlisting) + MMI (Multiple Mini Interview)
MMI Format
~7 timed stations. Each station presents a new scenario. Fast-paced, no time to overthink.
Affiliations
TTSH, CGH, KKH
Interview scenarios test maturity, ethics, and communication, not medical knowledge.
Ethical Dilemma
"A 75-year-old patient with terminal cancer wants to use their Medisave for an experimental treatment overseas. Their family opposes this. How would you handle this as a doctor?"
Looking for: Recognition of patient autonomy vs. beneficence, understanding of Singapore's healthcare financing, ability to navigate family conflict.
Collaboration Task (NUS FSA)
Applicants are paired and given Lego blocks. One must instruct the other to build a structure without touching the blocks.
Looking for: Communication clarity, patience, teamwork, frustration tolerance. These are qualities essential for working with patients and colleagues.
Healthcare Policy Awareness
"With Healthier SG rolling out, how might the role of a General Practitioner evolve in the next 10 years?"
Looking for: Awareness of local policy (preventive care focus), critical thinking, understanding of the primary care landscape.
How We Prepare Applicants
Resume & Profile Strategy
We start by looking at what you've actually done: clinical exposure, volunteering, leadership. The goal is a profile that reads as honest and considered, not one that's been assembled to tick boxes.
Personal Statement
Multiple drafts with detailed feedback. We help articulate why medicine, not just "I want to help people", but what specifically draws applicants to the profession and how their experiences have shaped that calling.
- Authentic "Why Medicine" narrative
- Portfolio guidance for EIS/ABAS
- Reflection on clinical experiences
- Clear, compelling storytelling
Interview Preparation
Mock sessions tailored to each school's format. Different interviews require different strategies. We prepare applicants specifically for what they'll face.
NUS FSA
Collaboration tasks, scenario discussions, ethical reasoning
NTU MMI
Timed station practice, rapid scenario response, pacing
Ad-Hoc Consultations
Regular check-ins every 3-4 weeks to ensure applicants are building the right experience and staying on track. Plus flexible support sessions for when unexpected questions arise or a last-minute review is needed.
- Regular progress check-ins
- Pre-interview prep sessions
- Profile-building guidance
- Query resolution on demand
