hey guys.

i just got my stpm results, and i was utterly disappointed only to realize my scores were below the minimum requirement of the medic programme in universities like Manipal, IMU, etc etc...

the thing is, since young i've been dreaming of becoming a doctor. any advice? should i re-take pre-u, e.g. foundation, SAM?

Do you mind forking out $$? There are plenty of choices available if you do so. You can take loan too if you want.

IF you really have the passion, maybe you can try med sch in russia or indon? their requirement is not that strict. But you must work that extra mile.

If you are really dedicated, i shall say.. why not?

My parents don't mind forking out the money, when it comes to my passion to do medic.

Speaking of which, I believe my STPM results were bad mainly due to me not putting much effort either. As compared to my results at SPM (A1 Chem, B3 Bio, B3 Physics, A1 Maths, A1 Add Maths), I admit I was way, way more relaxed during my STPM years than in my SPM years. I only started to really concentrate to study for STPM a month before the exam started, which I knew is a very, very regretful action. Yes, I admit I regretted bout that...

Besides I thought of redoing a year of foundation in science to proceed to Manipal next year, but making sure I'd really really study hard and smart this time. What you think?

If you dont mind forking out $$, maybe you can ask around for russia or indon for medical degree, i not sure they will accept or not, but you can worth trying.

There are plently options available. As far as I know, you can apply to russia for the MD course. If they accpet your STPM, then thats great, if not, then you have to do foundation, which duration is quite short, approximately 8-9 months, then by september you will be doing your 1st year MD course. Browse through the papers, they will advertise for MBBS course to russia constantly, so maybe you can just call them up and enquire about that, saying that you have done STPM and see what they says.
I had just spoken to my senior yesterday, who's studying in MMMC,twinning India Malacca. He said that it's no joke studying there, much much much much more tougher than any STPM or A levels.

The time of studies is from 8am-4/5pm daily from moday to saturday.
Anatomy is quite deep and detailed compared to students who are studying in monash or IMU.

If you fail a paper, you will have to retake each paper paying RM10,000.

So do think seriously about it, its your future. All the best in your decisions!

Honestly speaking, I'd never like russian medical universities. Indonesians one are pretty okay, to my opinion.

Most likely I'm doing my pre-u again. Then again, I am considering SAM, AIMST Foundation in Science (which Manipal accepts too) and MUFY. Dunno' which is better... My target, all these while, has been Melaka-Manipal.

I'm willing to study harder for this, much much much harder in fact.
