Anyone know about which university recognized by Singapore (SMC). Is Monash or Newcastle University recognized because of the twinning?

I only know IMU-PMS is recognized. Any other?


P.S: if you remember me, im from STPM 2008. Serving NS is like throwing your life into the drain...

Hehe. Yes, I'm actually a Singaporean studying in Malaysia from kindergarten. But sadly 2 years plus suffering (physical training etc.) really make me feel sad not being a Malaysian.Since I only scored 3.5 CGPA, I thought I might get in Monash or Newcastle. Anyone know the recent cut-off point?

I'm eligible for next year intake. I canceling out IMU since I think I'm not good enough.

P.S: wgy589, nice being a Singaporean female huh tongue.gif

Haha, sorry wgy589. I guess I got grudge against Singaporean girls who only go out with ang moh tongue.gif tongue.gif

btw, Monash really higher? Lat year,I thought IMU only accept AAB student which is their cut-off point. I only got ABB for 2008 STPM. If this true I will be cancelling out both Monash AND IMU! sad.gif Sad day for me..

But then again IMU(non-PMS) also no recognized by SMC right?

Anyway, if all fail, I don't mind working in Malaysia since I considered myself half-Malaysian. smile.gif

Wooo... but looking at the requirement(Monash Australia, Newcastle Australia, or Newcastle Upon Tyne UK), I don't think they accept ABB.

No university with SMC accreditation accept ABB huh?

I'd like to make some price comparison of medical equipments of the following items in different countries:

1. Stethoscope
2. Sphygmomanometer (mercury)
3. Ophthalmoscope
4. Otoscope

Let me start:

Country: India

1. Stethoscope, Lifeline brand, Rs350 (RM25) - cheapest I've seen so far.

2. Sphygmomanometer, Dr.Morepen Brand, Rs850 (RM60)

3. Ophthalmoscope Pocketscope, Wellch-Allyn Brand, Rs6300 (Rm450)

4. Otoscope Pocketscope, Wellch-Allyn Brand, Rs5600 (Rm400)
Lets see the variations in price of the above items in the country your studying in. If you want you can add more items other than the above for comparison (eg Book price, etc)

~~
*
A simple google shows a lot prefer Wellch-Allyn Brand, but than again I'm in no position to comment.

Btw, if I go to IMU, do I have to choose PMS or Seremban before entering. I hope to get into using ABB but study hard enough to be accepted into PMS.

Well I'm just gonna say I'm going to a well-respected university biggrin.gif

But unfortunately the forum and website don't provide any clue sad.gif I heard that it best to go to your first day without buying anything as the lecturer might using another book. Is it true?

This might be a little bit early but do you guys know the normal attire for the class?

Haha, your guys research ability is astounding biggrin.gif Didn't thought anyone remember me anymore. I was typing it on behalf of my sister so pardon my intrusion and promise won't disturb the doctors thread tongue.gif.

So no I'm not pursuing Medicine anymore. Turn out, A-,B,B can get you to UK Science courses, so probably I'm going there. (the top 10 in UK cool2.gif )

Anyway, thanks for the advice, I try to pick up the Saladin's book for her.
