i beg to differ lo...usually top scorers won't get..

i got engineering in local ipts...

As you are aware, scores is not the only aspect of getting the scholarship, still got financial background, interview performance and co curriculum achievements.

Example, 13A1 applicant, sucks in coco, play-a-fool interview, father has a monthly salary of 15k. Do you think the applicant deserve the scholarship?

By the way, anyone got calls from JPA officers yet??? Still no sign....

huh call from jpa? any reason for that?

ya loh.. usually they just send the letters rite? no reason to call...

anyway, i got IPTS for acct.

You no heard from friends meh?
1 got ipta scholarship and matric, jpa called him to go matric, after matric then provide scholarship to degree lvl in local u.

1 got overseas to korea(if i m not mistaken), got her call yesterday, need her to prepare for intake at ITEC this sunday.

do u mean Intec?

they will most likely send u an official letter + contracts to sign, calling is kinda inofficial

nelson how is ur koko?

father 15k salary should not play a part IMO.
scholarships should be based on academic merit.
for everything else there are loans.

and besides,
if u compare 15k salary with 10k salary.
10k salary, with 2 sons getting JPA.
compare that with 15k salary with 2 kids, nobody gets JPA.
the person with 15k gonna easily be financially constrained than the person earning 10k.
just so you know, even michael jordan's son is getting a scholarship.

and if financial background is taken into account, why do rich ppl need to study?
then people will start complaining bout rich brats , spoiled kids. lol

jz my 2 cents, dont mean to personally offend any1. sorry if i did.

I didnt get JPA with 10A1 1A2 (not very shining result anyway)... My friends who got 12A1 and 13A1 (both with GCE-O A1 too like me) also didnt get. Anyway congratulation nelson =)

BTW I am from a single parent family, income less than RM1k, 2 children, active in coco (lots of kawad kaki competition including mewakili zon)...

Just wait for the offer letter...your intake would be at the end of june...

and congratz to all who received the scholarship

none of my friends got the scholarship....lol

ya i hav no patience to wait long, hope it come out asap...
btw anyone knows when we enrole into the foundation?

SPM result: 11 1A (core subjects + Phy, Bio, chem, Est, Add. Maths, PSV)
GCEO: 1A
Gerko CGPA (2 years): 9.425
Family income: 3000< x<4000, where x is my family income.
Location: Kuching City, Sarawak.
Course offered: Pharmacy
Country: none (tiada)
Status: non-bumi
Interview: I think it was better than my English Oral tests because I could speak fluently without a single script.


Guys, I wanna ask, since we accept the offer already, is there any chance JPA may change their minds and cancel the offer to us? You know, many people complain and so they may change their stand... haha... Well, please tell me that I'm thinking too much.

i have a friend who gets the Korea Engineering, got a phone yesterday, called her to enroll herself this Sunday in Shah Alam.
Do anyone has info about France Engineering?
how long does one need to study in local before he can off to oversea?

wow great!! congratzz...... lol u really thinking too much..

Scholarship can come in several forms, given out on certain criteria.
For JPA scholarship, family income is one of the criteria.

Michael Jordan's son should not be a scholarship in the form of financial aid. Perhaps a scholarship based on academic excellence or sports.

Please be clear about the scholarship discussed before comment.

UH UH..
im so blur. so we're doing our pre u local?
i applied for engineering course.
my spm result wasnt that good. 7a1 4a2
but i talk alot during interview. maybe thats why i got it

first of all, Congrats! another scholar.
Yeap. You cant just study in overseas' varsity using spm qualification, you need something more!

Most probably you are doing your Pre-U locally if you are going for an English-speaking country.
But I heard somewhere that last year German Engineering is placed in KBU for German language 0.5 year, followed by 1 year AUSMAT.
Not sure about the AUSMAT though, but the German language is done there.
For Korean Engineering, you do your foundation/Pre-U there if I am not mistaken. You just study Korean locally.

man! tanjinjack, you are very good at this....where you get the info from? You got the offer too?

ausmat will be done in KBU, total 1.5 years in KBU damansara, given tht things didnt change. for those computer science goin to US, most likely will be studying AUP in Inti Nilai, those goin for accounting in Aus will be studying SAM in taylors, those goin for architecture in UK will be doin A levels in intec, wut did i miss out, oh ya, actuarial science in US will be AUp in inti nilai, if Aus, will be SAM in inti nilai

jinjack is a top student in SAM of inti nilai last year

Those info are last year. I was last year's batch, among the majority who failed to get, LOL 10A1 2B3 (one of them being Malay).
Furthermore, I have been paying a lot of attentions of attentions since Form 1 (the year my sis got it), or to say, initially it's my parents who watch over it for me, feeding me information, but slowly I pick up the responsibility on my own.

Nonetheless, they change every year. I can say nothing about it. Like now got IPTS/A already.

Ah, just one more info.
Usually if you get Medicine or Dentistry, quite a number will get sent to IMU even if you are told that you have overseas offer. Don't worry, in the end you still get to go overseas and it's very possible that you can get into prestigious medical school like University of Edinburgh through IMU partnership.
Also, few years back, German Engineering scholars did A-Level in UiTM, that was year(s) before they contract out for IPTS to do the Pre-U.
Now, it's said that the better one are sent to UiTM while the not-so-good one got sent to Inti, Taylor's etc. for Pre-U.

Added on May 13, 2009, 12:11 amNot necessary to be the same one.

The first batch in Inti SAM is for Actuarial Science and Accounting, but the second batch was not for that already. It's for Town Planning and some other courses.
First batch in Inti AUP is for Actuarial Science.

They always change.

sorry but u r wrong, the 1st batch in inti nilai consist of town planning n urban planning as well, y i know, coz im one of the student in the class
1st batch of AUP in inti nilai consist of computer science, actuarial science, pure science, economics and many more.

This post has been edited by kwh1989: May 13 2009, 12:27 AM

Sis only. Bro tak de la...

It's good to have a laptop for studies, as hardly there will be species who still do not use computers at all in his/her life, especially for the teenagers in Malaysia.
Now less than RM2,000 can get one.

So, for computer science, most probably goin where to do pre u course? And goin only one country right, which is USA?

Either Intec or IntiNilai for AUP course provided tht they r sending u to US

The only senior of mine who got CS went to US. For US, you probably follow an American Transfer Programme in which you may be placed in private institutions that offer it or maybe UiTM as well. UiTM has American Transfer Programme.

Dont mind me asking, what's AUP? and when is the intake?

Thanks

Added on May 13, 2009, 1:03 amPrivate instituions like INTI? What's the subjects for American Transfer Programme? Is it the same with AUP?

thanks

This post has been edited by nelsonyap48: May 13 2009, 01:03 AM

AUP is American University Programme, that's how Inti calls it.
Sunway and UiTM call it ADTP I think, America Degree Transfer Programme.
It's just up to you how you call it, all are same thing.

For subjects to be taken, it should all follow the American style, you study a broad range of knowledge. But I don't think you got to choose your core subjects though, under sponsorship of JPA. You may not even have the choice of your breath study, but I am not sure about this. JPA may only concern about subjects that can get credits, not necessary entertain your interest shall you want to take Philosophy. (But if Philosophy can get credits, then you should be able to take it as breath.)
It's way more to talk about AUP, subject choosing etc.

students get to choose their core, their breath, as long their major is wut they r offering the student.

ohh icic.
i hope i don get a levels again.
am studying a levels january intake and i don like to repeat what i have studied.

Useful yet valuable information!! Thanks

Congrats. I suppose you got JPA scholarship.
I believe you can negotiate with JPA so that JPA would allow you to continue your A-Level if it happens to be that you will be doing it as well, provided the colleges you attend now have JPA placement.

By the way, can i choose my preferred course? Like IT, can i choose software engineering? Or the jpa makes all the decisions?

im sorry to hear that....but my sis was rejected that way to....hers was ages ago when places were very limited and even one A2 would send u off as there were so many ppl with straight A1s fighting for the seats...and not all of them get it...

so what are ur plans now? did u get places in matric? or u doing f6? or studying in college now?

Added on May 13, 2009, 4:51 pmnope wont...they wont cancel u for no apparent reason...the good thing is that once ur in JPA...even if u fail 1 year / 2 semesters...they dun care...once ur in the system....its hard for u to be kicked off....but alot of ppl got the tendency to cabut tho....even with the contracts....but i dunno how they deal with the legal matters afterwards

Added on May 13, 2009, 4:55 pmim not sure if theyve changed the thing...but its up to u....and even the uni's its up to u....as long as u get the results that enables u to apply for any unis in ur designated country

This post has been edited by bhypp: May 13 2009, 04:55 PM

I got 11A1s , 2A2s in SPM, fail to secure a place ....

I know that the competition is keen, so I applied Business Adm. , who knows also FAIL ...

Sad...

You will get over it, well, soon. Look on the bright side, no bond with gov.

there's no bright side for not getting a scholarship from the government.

Hey, first you have to maintain a standard during your studies, so here comes pressure and tension, after graduation, have to stick with gov for a couple of years...........

Instead of sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself, you should use this as a motivation, I'm sure there are other scholarships out there, other pathways to actualize your dreams, if there's a will there's a way, best start planning out an alternative future than wallow around in self-pity kid.

so, when are our studies (for those who got it) starts ? i heard my fren say his bro last few years also get JPA and start 1st of june.

My sis starting her A-levels around July.
She got her Medical studies approved by JPA.

which one u mean? ipta, ipts or overseas?? i also curious to know..

Same here. Overseas when start......

i started end of june last year...at INTEC...going to the states...

as for u guys, u will also start around the same time...

i know it cuz i'll be your faci for ur orientation...

WOAH end of june? =( still so long..

same feeling here ahaha......where u go? ipta/s or overseas?

JPA scholarship selection to be reviewed - http://search.sinchew-i.com/node/333125

So many people complain o~~

yalor~~ we are the lucky chinese to get the scholarship...lol

my mandarin is quite weak, could sum1 plz make a summary wats bout it?
hopefully they'll offer another 2k overseas scholarship la...

to those tht got it, congratz, celebrate a while, then get over it, prepare to start studying, n when u started ur study, pls dun act as if u r top of the world, maybe u r not, but there r some tht thinks they r better than other students in the college, y m i saying this, bcoz last year junior had been really cocky n it makes other nonjpa students think they r bunch of cocky b**tards

to those tht didnt get it, hope u will get over it, yes, they got it, but it doesnt mean they r better than u or wut, so wut they hav good cocu, so wut they hav good result, u live ur own life, start planning for college, after tht u will realise, networking, socializing, n other criteria r more important when starting to work

to those tht didnt get it, n choose to whine here, telling others how u earn ur own money to study, telling others how u r better than those tht get jpa, well, good for u. if thts the case, u shud start working, earning big money, n stop browsing the net for nth

kthxbai

Good advice, Thanks! Anyone heard ntv7 or 8tv news.....

no, y? got any big news?

any1 here who gt medic course overseas received call frm jpa??

my fren gt d call n he was told to register at UiTM dis sunday...n he gt d country--Russia....he hs a 3-month class at UiTM to study d language b4 going to Russia
btw, isit my fren lucky to be chosen to study his medic at Russia??wats ur opinion??

on d other hand, another fren who gt medic course overseas also, doesnt receive any call so far, isit perhaps she wl be sent to another country?? i think jpa wont inform her 2mr since the registration date is around d corner, they cant do last minute preparation anyway, rite?

offered to russia is a chance that come once in life, congratzz...
mayb your another friends got indonesia?? or jz the jpa havent contact her..

Medic in russia? i thought Nuclear Bomb Engineering~~

Bro totally agreed with ya... Some people just can't get over with it

In a way u could... JPA is a lil flimsy in this CS.. so u can some how slip in through...
as far as the US is concern..there is no major in software engin.. except a few..
most unis offer only CS..then from there u pick ur subjects that u r interested.. if SE it is..then pick the SE related ones..
but u will still grad as CS, that's all
if u r doing AUP.. the core u have to settle here are Physics 1 and 2, Calculus 1,2,3, Linear Algebra and if possible Differential Equations as well
Not much Computer related subjects are able to be transferred directly to the US, so its best to clear the maths, science, and humanities 1st

hye...1st of all..congratz for those who got the jpa scholar..
so..anyone got offer to study in germany?hoho...wish u all gut luck..

congratulations 2 those who manage 2 secure a place as jpa's scholar..


i got jpa for ipts..
engineering..


but still it is not my last decision..
waiting for offer letter 2 come..



there's 1 thing i would like 2 ask,
for ipts;
are there only mmu, utp and uniten is in jpa's list??

hahaha...i get wat u mean...dun be choosy
i also get engineering in ipts, utp is still acceptable for me, but monash nottingham swinburn n curtin will definately the best.

im studying a levels now and wanna study again fast fast. june is too long. but im still happy to get it.
i got the overseas offer

i am choosy..


u mean, monash nottingham swinburn n curtin is also in their list?
i thought thre's only 3..

JPA offer me to do foundation in ipts and I want to know that can I apply for PIDN later on???

JPA scholarship suppose to aid you financially until degree level......what are you talking about??

Bcoz I want to change my course.T.T

u got offer for wat course n change to wat course oh? bro?

I want to change from biotech to QS.T.T

QS=quantity surveying??
emmm.....they offer u foundation only, not nessary biotech rite?

If not mistaken,the foundation will lead to biotech in the future.

wats ur foundation major in?

Should be in biology.

Congrats to you!!! Sounds like you got jpa to germany is it?

ok.....they are using express, hope receive the letter asap...

Not express, is courier!

ahaha, sry direct translation lol.

finally got some news from them.........lets cross our fingers!

hey qiqi91! one of my frens also got the call. exactly the same 1. the russia thingy. isn't tat great??! my fren can lament summore =.=

erm i dunno why but my frens. all chinese. 7 applied. 6 get. 2 local. 4 overseas including me

the 2 locals 1 both medicine n they are like geniuses in our skool. so sad they din get overseas 1. both straight A1s. 10 n 11 respectively.

the goin-to-russia guy only got 10A1s 1 A2 n his GCEolvl SUCKED. why God so unfair send him =.= yea out of 7, 5 aplied for med. 1 dentistry. for me. architecture

the rest of them sucked at GCEO lvl only i rocked =) making me 11 A1s haha no la. thank god i got offered

i wanna kiss all the Gods n Tuhans n Sans that noe of.

but hey guys. jpa is not ur only option rite. look at the bright side. u dun hav to work for msia after ur graduation in the future

Congrats to hmmmmm, sounds like you are in a good mood.

"Bonding with the government or not is not you choice, it's the gov.'s," said by my interviewer.

and ur gce o lvl rocked? Wow.

congratzz... i also did not do well in my gceo lvl, but i did speak well during the interview session, maybe that the reason i got it..haha ....anyway wats ur secondary school? i suppose must be a well known school since many of ur friends got it.

My school >20 applied. 4 got overseas, 3 got ipta. period.

I got 10A1 and also talk alot during interview, but also get shitty IPTA, my koko is A also, parents income less than 2k. any explanations? My frens got full 12 A1 koko A with 9.7 CGPA also din get, interview not bad. You all get because of luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha... Well, be happy with what you have. Think of others who doesnt have any offer at all. Well, if you talk a lot during the interview, it is actually putting yourself into the disadvantages because the interviewers may think that you are dominating the discussion and not willing to listen to others during discussion, but of course I do not know how long of your speech time when you said it's "a lot".

I strongly agree that THIS and ANY scholarship depends very much on your luck and your faith towards your religion. It's very subjective (the selection) because:
1. questions asked in interviews are different
2. different interviewer
3. different courses applied (critical courses like medic, denty, and pharm are harder)
4. the different quota

Yeah...yeah...you say so because you get it...try to go and ask those who can't get it, and you'll know what reality they are facing...
There are some people need the scholarship just to avoid studying in form 6 which all the teachers discourage their students from taking it...
You can't imagine the life of form 6 in certain schools...YOU CAN'T!!!

Hmmm.... I don't think form 6 is a bad choice at all, if you are a person who can do self-studying, and hardworking. You still can apply for JPA after form 6 unless you really wanna go overseas now badly. I'm sure that if you can score 4 flat or at least 3A 1B, you can guarantee yourself at a public university.

that only applies to those with a good school....

LOL... personally, I don't think IPTA in Malaysia is that bad. We have good uni's like USM, UM, UitM and UKM. To me, anywhere is the same, and I have actually decided to just continue form 6 if I do not get PILN and PIDN.
