What are my chances of getting shortlisted for NUS Dentistry?

Doctor's Answers 1

Firstly, a huge congratulations for completing your examinations and the good grades!

However I would be frank that I do not know much about the admission criteria, especially for international schools, as the final decision lies with the NUS admissions website (which I assume shortlists applicants based on a bell curve system)

But i would agree with you that they tend to take the higher score, so most likely your Bio would be taken into account instead of your physics grade.

Whether or not you get into the dental course ultimately depends on the Manual dexterity test and the Multiple mini interviews as further elaborated on in the post. And the decision lies in the hands of the interviewers.

Definitely worthy to highlight the achievements and passion you have towards dentistry during your interview though!

What are effective treatments for large pores on dark ethnic skin if chemical peels and fractional C02 laser does not work? (photo)

Hi,From the photo, you appear to have mild acne scars rather than open pores. Fractional CO2 laser should work. Effectiveness may be enhanced with more aggressive treatment parameters albeit at the expense of perhaps more unwanted side-effects such as PIH. Alternatives to consider are Fractional microneedle RF and fractional picosecond laser. It is best you discuss with your preferred aesthetic doctor your expectations and ability to accept downtime for him/her to help devise an individualized treatment plan for you. Hope this helps!

How is a chemical burn due to hair removal cream treated?

Hi,Chemical burn injury, as with all other forms of skin injury, will heal best under optimum wound healing conditions to minimize the risk of scarring. This usually means that the healing environment must be clean and moisture-controlled. Careful attention to wound cleansing and the use of an antiseptic cream/ointment or silver impregnated non-stick dressings are recommended. Scarring may occur if the wound is deep or if it gets infected. Hope this helps!
