Has gone for interview n informed that decision will be made upon presentation of a levels results. Will be quite late as results only out late January

Apparently, no conditional offers are given until the actual results are given to them where a final selection is made.

Those who did not make it at the interview would be notified accordingly.

For those who are taking A Levels, having the finals in May would be a better option than sitting in November.

You have your first bite at the UK universities and IMU August intake followed by Monash next February intake.

Those sitting at the end of year may have to make do with paying a lump sum as "insurance" as other offers may come in later

Does this apply to all the MUFY students as well?

If the students are from other streams, the students counter just refused to accept the application and said ISAT and IELTS results has to be submitted before an interview could be arranged.

But they still wont give any offers until all the requirement documents are in order, rite?

What about the other interested MUFY students? Were they also in the same situation like yours?

Last year abt 30+ students from MUFY got into Monash Sunway medic, if I am not wrong.

A certain number of seats are "reserved" for "star" students and this is also what IMU is doing.

A Prof from IMU said, " Who doesnt want "star" students who can bring recognition and status to your university?"

Those with very strong academic excellence, Cambridge and MIT-like.

Those with deep pockets are "See Stars" students! Plenty in Sunway.

Conditions for next year Jpa scholarships not out yet. Talent corp may have a role to play.

How do you tackle a given medical scenario at an interview when your interviewer just sit and listen and you are totally blank on the given topic? At best, a wry smile and talk out your allotted time?

A levels on Jan 23, 2012!

Happy Chinese New Year to all of you.

This proves that the sunway students are on par with those in oz as they also sit for the same papers. Moreover the fees in oz are more than double that in sunway.

Star Education Fair.Made some enquiries at Quest Medical University and noted that medical course starting next month and some students already signed up and fees abt RM295k. Asked for a brochure and syllabus. SECRET! To be released only next month. A new high for medical education!

Imagine paying for a bungalow without knowing how it looks like!

A fair number that went for the recent Sunway interviews were rejected. And there were also rejections in the recent pharmacy interviews as well.

Isat not critical but straight As. Interviews may be one of the key determinants. Agreed with zstan.

Taylor's SAM program alone produces 20 students with Atar of 99 and above. I think that's one of the reasons why entrance requirements are so fiercely competitive. Students should look to UK with more choices unless PR is one of the aims.

And some Saturdays are also included.

Practicals in uni.

onelove89,

an off topic question. How's the response towards those unis like Melbourne, ANU and UWA in regards to post graduate entry for med. Is it as competitive as before or easier with this new requirement? And those unis still on undergraduate entry level, has it made the situation much more competitive due to the reduction in the number of universities.

If the grad med schools maintained the same no of places available, wouldn't this be less competitive and considering the fact that how many will actually go for a med related degree before applying? And with competition building up, isnt it a better option to take A levels than oz pre-u to widen the choices

Looking at the scenario where locals aiming for med courses overseas face, IMU-PMS will still be a much sought after place. I just found out that for Manchester Uni, foreign internationals are just given 29 places a year in total whereas those transferring from IMU for Year 3 onwards will be allocated 13 places! But IMU has a "strange" way of allocated partner med schools, not all based on merit.
