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.

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