Anyway, dont feel intimidated by the interview coz what matter is u act like ur own. Plus the question y do u do medicine might not even come out and like one of my friends, he was given a pen cap and were asked what can he do the cap so chill out and dont pretend and good luck

LOL~
They called me up n my interview's 2morrow XD
Crossing my fingers then~

Actually , I've been pondering about the reason why I chose to go for Medicine despite all the difficulties I've to go through ; and etc.



I don't really have a particularly strong reason on taking medicine or should I say it's like a mixed feeling.

Maybe I chose medicine because It's a professional course.

Maybe I chose medicine because of my love towards health and life sciences ; the wonders of the human body. Maybe I chose medicine because I could impress my parents and my loved ones.

Maybe I chose medicine because of my family's doctor whom i respected so much.

Maybe i chose medicine because I've once been anxious and worried of my health and the doctors gave me the sense of being secured and safe where I want to be a doctor because in that way I could in return the favor to others.

With these mixed reasons and feelings , all in all what I could really hang-on to , was that when I imagine myself as a doctor in the years to come ;
I'll be glad and proud of myself as I'm brave enough to take the challenge to dedicate most of the time in my life to people in need ,to the lost and those who're waiting to have someone to give them hope. Becoming a doctor that's able to appreciate life of others more than myself , taking on the hardships of life ; to bring happiness , hope and peace.

good luck

there we go =D give us some of your ideas and we can trim those further? =) here's my questions just to make u think bit harder and connecting the points.

always remember to relate back to 'why medicine'. I know it's a lot of thinking. took me 1/2 a year to get my reason clear of why medicine. eg, you said that you know how does it feel to be anxious and worried, so you can kinda relate to the patients feelings? empathy is the word. yeah, relate back to the main big picture, and not scatter info around.

Back from interview..
Cant say they ask much..
Just ask simple things..
LOL~

Nothing fancy la..
For those going interview, just be honest n blunt, throw weight onto your words and hold your own XD

how did it go? you seem confident =) which is good. ^^ did they tell you whether you got in or not on the spot? or they will contact you a lil later?

Hehe , so what did they asked you anyway ?
Btw , where do the interviewee meets up ? I will be traveling from Ipoh Saturday itself ; got to start my journey about 5.am =.= since the interview's 9.30 a.m as stated in the email.
What time does the interview actually starts ?

Contact a lil later..
I dun really put 100% faith as I already clash head with the Dean of Medicine against his policy~
Maybe they will reject me coz I dun follow the system type of crap..


what they ask?
Write essay, stg like that..
Pscyo analyse you, see you got mental disease not, ask some basic QnA bout today and role of a doctors, how 2 help reduce current issues, why you want to become, driven by what..
This kinda thing..
Just be confident lol..

Chinese yeap..
Just a word of advice, stay clear from controversial topics..
They will ngap ngap you like mad..
XD

May I ask what language do the panel and you converse in during the interview ?
hehe , did any controversial topics arise during your interview ?

What language do you expect dude?

I suggest you mentally prepare and answer honestly and please don't try to predict what question will be asked. Answer the question spontaneously with mature thinking. Interview is not only an selection procedure but it serve as a way for you to ensure whether you are suitable to enter medical school or not.

Remember,don't lie! Answer honestly.Good luck

I expect to use English =). Haha , it's just a question anyway ; who knows maybe it ends up using Bahasa or a mixture of both.

Yup , practically I'm not trying to guess the question and answer for the interview ; I'm just trying to find out my reason for taking medicine myself. So kinda brainstorm a little. There's no solid reason on why I chose medicine but rather a series of reasons which leads me to medicine . and thank you for your wishes ^^ the interview's tomorrow and I had to wake up early in the morning about 4-5a.m and start traveling to Cyberjaya already

Make sure you dun eat too much then..
Later stomach feel bloated like that XD
Its in English for sure but I cnt say the standard is reli good..
I can see some people like the interviewer or even the interviewee have problem communicating in smooth English..
Keep it precise, short and sweet and straight to the point..
And dude, NEVER ANSWER I DON"T KNOW~
That's a real killer..
You don't know also you better think you know..

I'm going for the interview for med course in cumcs.
Anyone can share questions asked and wat type of essay?
Please help!!
Izit difficult?
Thanks alot

Hmm , babyzane

Since you pm-ed me , might as well reply you through here.
You don't have to worry about the interview so much , it's not to say simple but more on "getting to know you better" session.
It's important to know about the candidates when they're applying for the course , their motive , intention and also a little of their background to make sure everything's fine.

Basically , you before you're going for the interview.
Make sure you're having a pen with you , and the documents which are to be presented.
You will be asked to write a short and simple essay ; nothing to worry about. For my interview , I was asked to write about Why I want to be a doctor.
Questions might change though.

The interview is just simple talks with the prof. and lecturers there ; there will be 2 person who will interview you.
And just be honest during the interview , for me I find that the interviewers were quite friendly so there's nothing to get afraid or anxious about too.

and Good Luck for your interview ^^

Thx alot:)
