btw, i found this
Two poly students accepted into NUS medicine
course (2007)
FOR the first time, two polytechnic
students have been accepted into what is possibly the toughest
university course here to get into - the faculty of medicine of the
National University of Singapore(NUS).
The Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine will take in
250 aspiring doctors this year. It had received 32 applications
from 32 polytechnic students and selected Mr Soong Jun Wei and Mr
Ron Ng. Both are 20-year-olds from Ngee Ann Polytechnic. Jun Wei
graduated with a diploma in biotechnology while Ron has a diploma
in biomedical laboratory technology.
Unlike junior college students who apply with A
level results, polytechnic students are assessed on their
polytechnic results(80 per cent) and O-level grades(20 per cent).
But like all other applicants, they had to take an essay test and
go through two rounds of interviews. This article from geraldtan.com

Possible, the chances are like 2 poly students in NUS med
faculty's 50 years of history.
Pray hard that you will be one of the next 2 candidates for the
next 50 years
