through my exp....i apply for both usm and upu and end up both sides oso tak jadi...damn..

it's better to understand how UPU works first.

i. when u submit ur application, UPU will process it and sort it out.
ii. then UPU will forward ur application to ALL ur chosen university, from 1st to 8th.
iii. each university will review ur application.
iv. each university will decide to offer u or not, and then inform UPU.
v. UPU then collects all results from ur 8 choices.
vi. UPU sends u the highest offer based on ur 8 choices.

for example. if #1 and #2 rejects, but #3 #4 #5 accepts, they will offer #3 to u. #4 and #5 is ignored.

in this case, USM and UPU selection process will run concurrently. however, USM will have the priority to offer places to students first. u might have an offer from #1 of UPU, but u wont get that offer until USM offer is resolved. if u didnt get the offer from USM or rejected the offer, u will be offered the UPU choice. if u accept USM's offer, then the UPU choice will be ignored.

the only problem here is, how do we know if UPU even HAVE an offer for u, before u reject USM? this one i dunno how to answer .

owh come on! i already told u, they HAVE CONSIDERED ur application.

what u dont know is if there is an offer, or not.

well in my case,i got into usm,but the course they offer is not wat i wan or u can said dislike. so if i accept the usm offer,will upu still send my any offer from other university tat i apply or will they juz canceled the application?

em.if im not mistaken..ur applications to other ipta will be removed or cancelled...hm..what course did u get?

elven..i think u missed out my previous post.im just being curious whether u are an ex-pasum because i remember reading it somewhere in some thread. 

if what he said is true, then what's the difference of separating USM from UPU? no point, right?
