ermmm...nobody i know goes to this uni...mostly IMU,UCSI,Monash, Manipal, or even PIMC for that matter... or public u or overseas..i wonder why.....................................

We have quite a strong academic team especially the clinician here. Like Prof Abdul Latif, Assoc Prof Ikram, Prof Rashid and so on. According to some clinical seniors in our uni,there is no complains about the teaching quality. Most of the Prof here are come from reputable IPTA like UM,UKM,UPM example Assoc Prof DR Khin, Prof Dr Hamdan(Oxford Phd), Prof Hatta and etc. For Pre-clinical year,there is no problems about the teaching and it's all depends on the passion of learning from the students.

The decision is totally up to you. There is no need for any one of CUCMS-ian here to encourage you to enter. I feel insulted when you ask CUCMS-ian to encourage you to enter CUCMS. There is no need for us to do that! The differences of our UNI are clearly stated in the website and all the info of the website is up to date and true. So,make your own decision.

Yea. For PTPTN,there is no need to worry. The student affair will guide us for this. Definitely will get RM150k and this is the promise of PTPTN to our MBBS students.

Oh , really sorry if what I said insulted you. It was not my intention really.

So it's only after I get enrolled into the uni and started my first sem , then , apply for PTPTN through the student affairs ?

It's ok for that. Btw,I also forgot the official deadline of PTPTN anually but there are two per year. Once you are in,straight away go to BSN to buy a pin and apply the PTPTN through internet.Then, the student affair department will inform the students about the deadline and they will tell you what to do.

Don't worry for that.

Can I know what you meant by " once you're in " ?
As in accepted ? or started attending a semester already ?

also , is there anything that I need to prepare before-hand when I enter the university for my first year ?
some personal advice there ?
I heard that the food there is expensive , so how students cope with it ?
Plus , is internet connectivity provided ?

So sorry if I'm asking a lot ,but in a positive way it might benefit the others reading the thread too =)

There is no harm to ask. Actually,once you got the offer you already can apply for PTPTN but I personally advice you to wait until you start the first semester. Btw,you can buy the pin from BSN first. Preparation that you need to make are actually all written in the your offer documents. Keep your mind open and accept the fact that majority of the students here are malays if you are not bumi. It's very good to learn how to mix with others other than you own ethnic group.

For the food, we normally cook as the stove is provided.We just need to buy the gas and ingredient needed. Food here is actually quite expensive but the cafe of the college provide the food with reasonable price la. Only in the campus the internet is provided but not in the hostel.

Personal advice:

Academic:
1. Find your best study method ASAP because that is the number one mistake students here do. They usually blindly follow other people's method then get stressed out when they failed to achieve good marks.

2. Never feel shy to discuss your study problem with your mentor or your seniors.

3. When you make notes. make it as appetizing as you could so you cant read it again and again.


Non Academic:
1. Remember, a few of the students already being held back a year just because they failed their affective domain so be nice to other people or if its that hard for you, just dont make yourself troublesome for your group

2. Make sure to live a life even if its a geek life because here, the unofficial motto is, "to produce unnerd doctors" so if you spend too much on studying, you must have done something wrong.

3. Stress is a very big words here but actually, if you can balance out advice number 2, its a very small problem actually.

4. Food is not a problem, there are actually cheap food around Cyberjaya, Putrajaya, Sri Kembangan etc etc. Dont blindly follow those rich fella who eat in suspiciously rich sounding place like PapaRich, Pure Arab restaurants, Old Town and such. Try to befriend those with car, u can enjoy this part of Malaysia better.

err , got quite an urgent question here.

I found out when I was reading about the EPF withdrawal ; and checked the MQA website.
It seems that the MBBS programme is not approved by LAN/MQA yet.

However , for EPF withdrawal. The course have to be approved by LAN/MQA or some Jabatan Pelajaran Swasta ( not too sure about this ).

So can I know whether the MBBS programme for this uni is eligible for the EPF withdrawal ? as in using the EPF withdrawal money to pay for the course fees ?

Plus , during the registration day ; I still have to pay the RM12.5k first right ? Cause the EPF withdrawal would need certain details about the uni which takes some time ??

Or perhaps anyone experiencing EPF withdrawal for MBBS ? please share. I need to know the details.

Just interested to find out:
CUCMS has almost 100% bumiputra/malay lecturers and profs, as i can see from their website. Are they taking in any non-bumi lecturers or tutors in near future?

hey.. can i ask something related to CUCMS? heard that CUCMS students are required to wear formal attire during classes? is it true? thx for ur reply...

All students in (all)med school are required to wear formal attire during class and around campus.

so how is the accommodation for foundation in science? is Wifi/ wireless is available in hostel?? thx for ur reply....

I want to join CUCMS. But I only scored cgpa 3.0 for stpm 2009.
I have read about their minimum qualification.
But still worry that I won't be called for an interview.
The intake is on this coming August.
And now only leaving 2 weeks to go ...

worry worry and worryyyyyyy

u should try apply to several medschool and hope they calls u , thats the way.

Here are choices for you: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=889461&hl=

However, if you are not confident enough to do medicine, try biomedical program or perhaps nursing program first, lets see if you can cope with that? then if you wish, you can enter medical program with your BSc. degree (if you did well of course).

Its time consuming though (there are advantages and disadvantages to that pathway).

3.0 is not adequate for medicine.........do another course.......

medicine isn't the only course in this world la.

I want to do medicine and I'm confident on it.
I got straight As in SPM
but due to some reasons I burnt my 7 months lower six.
I only started doing stpm on upper six.

CUCMS's minimum qualification entry for medicine is 3.0
Don't I have any hope?

getting straight As doesnt mean you can only study medicine la.

u get it then u get it....

so do 8000 other students........and msia really only need 2000 med students a year, for the population..........
