I agree with Limeuu, and credits to Cybersetan on the effort (TS do remember to listen/read through everything that he has posted)

If you're competent enough to be a doctor, why not aim for the best? I reckon you're fresh out of form 5, why not take STPM/Alvls/SAM first? Rather than going on a one way road with absolutely no chance to turn back. And I rather you do your MBBS degree locally than in Russia, be it ipta or ipts.

have a think about why you want to become a doctor, like seriously think about it. be honest with yourself. If it's the sole reason to 'help others', then go be a nurse. they literally are out there doing the nasty jobs we wont even think of doing, like cleaning the patients and changing them. A very very noble job. my point being, think properly. Studying med is not a trend. and I really hope parents and kids out there will realize this.

it's not that we are discouraging you to be a doctor. It's just that well.... Russia isn't that good of a place for you to be a proper one, if you intend to be, and i assume you intend to be as well. I would say, msia IPTS is better than going to Russia (from all the news I've heard about it, and from all the feedback from forumers) If financially challenged, at least there are loans out there for you in Malaysia. Have to say, it's all worth it to spend a lil bit more on education honestly speaking.
