In the old days,yes
Now It's impossible, I'm sure you notice the trend these days.Saturation of professional jobs

Sorry for interrupting the bashing, I'm a new medical student here from one of the IPTS. (hopefully I'm not the one being referred to here :S)

Anyway, any pro-tip on how the amount of stationary I should be hoarding? Planning to get 5 A4 size-note from bookstore ,should that be enough? Any other stationary stuff that is useful (index card etc.)?

Btw, on this issue, being a local IPTS student, how 'bad' are the standard are? Does it really bad compare to prominent grads such in UK in term of their surgery/diagnostic skill?

And this is where Malaysian's usually loose the plot. To quote a peribahasa, Sebab nila setitik, rosak susu sebelanga.

One rotten apple is too many. Medical schools are not in the business of creating the "best" (whatever that may be) doctor. A proper medical school is in the business of producing competent doctors in all those who walk out of the door.

We do not need a brilliant top class doctor. We need all our doctors to be proficient and competent.

what qualifications did you get in with?......

if it is less than aaa at stpm/a levels and atar97, you will NOT have gained entry into a medical programme in uk/oz (or even ipta actually).........in fact many with better results fail to secure places, when they do badly in the umat/isat/ukcat/bmed exams and interviews.....

this simple fact will benchmark you compared to your peers in good med schools.....

i was referring to stpm entry.....

ipta has always been a problem, with 2 cohorts of students mixed together, and that is consistently reflected in the results when you plot a normal curve, it's a double hump......

many of the cgpa 4.0 from matrik are b students....there are some diploma transfer students, but not many......but that is another issue.....

Not many i guess. Most of my non-bumi colleagues from IPTA did matriks before gaining entry to med schools

that's whyive been asking around how do IPTA grads fare. if the uni standards deteriorating but grads are still highly competent then it's fine.
