NUS and NTU acceptance for Engineering and Medicine

<p>A friend of mine got 40 points in IB Diploma with 4 higher levels - Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Economics
and for SL, he took English Literature and French B. He got rejected by both NUS and NTU for Mechanical Engineering... What grades and ECAs do NUS and NTU look for?</p>

<p>I really want to apply for NUS medicine but I'm worried considering that my friend got rejected for Engineering with such a high score. He now goes to UCL.</p>

lol… looks like i’m not gonna have a chance to go to nus haha
