wow just got rejected by um for the sept intake. applied to do masters in software engineering. kinda shocked, didn't know it's this hard to get in. and i've been waiting since march for this... anyone knows how i can appeal the decision? thinking of giving the admission section a call tomorrow. don't think I did too badly in my degree, 2nd upper. 1+ year working experience as a developer. i should have just probably applied to private institutions man this is a bummer

Nope... called them and asked why my application was rejected. the reason is because they give priority to students from ipta, i graduated from an ipts, so no go for me. what kind of stupid rule is this? next thing we know, only students from a certain race is allowed to join a university... oh wait.

the reason i joined ipts in the first place, was because i wasnt offered the course that i wanted in ipta. and now because they couldnt offer me a place for my bachelor degree, they are punishing me for doing my degree, which is approved by lan by the way, in an ipts. way to go.
