I suggest you to apply now. Never mind about the result. It would still take some time before they could respond to your application. Do it now, else they will process a lot more applications when the result is out and would cause a delay for you!

owh..I was told to apply using my forecast results. and they can only give me unconditional letter. i havent really confirmed yet as I still need to ask a professor who is a friend of my dad for opinion. but most probably, I will end up in UNMC

I think you mean conditional (surat tawaran bersyarat). Just apply, you don't pay anything at all!
If you ask us, it's about whether your dad has the RM100,000 to spare on your education or not, and whether you will feel alright spending that large amount of money.

ya sorry my bad . haha xD
there isnt a need to pay anything? hurm . alright. i probably gonna do it soon
my dad has it but then I duwan to be unfair to my brother. >.< he said it's alright. he spares 100k for both my bro and I for education. 50k each. but my bro doesnt mind giving me the 50k first >< and my dad said down the road, he will recover back the 50k. he asked me not to worry and just study hard . he just wants the best for me too >< so I am not sure on what to do yet ><

Oh, if your dad is confident to have that recovered, then just take the extra 50k first. Be sure to help him out more when he's in studies in the future lo. But it all comes down whether you want to spend his money, whether you'll feel very pressurised when you find out every hour of lectures is about RM100 (last I calculated, should be higher now).

Else, opt for cheaper education - MMU, UTAR, UTP etc.?

received an email from Nottingham today and i quote
"Hello,
Your application is currently with the faculty office and pending approval. We will let you know the outcome as soon as we receive the notification back from the faculty office."

P.s:- I submitted my application on 13/7/2012 damn it !:(

They responded to you quite fast... Every time I send an email to ask regarding the status of my application, they will give me this email;

Dear <insert name>,

This is to inform you that we have received your result. Hope to get back to you by next week.

Thank you.

Every single time hahaha... I submitted my application end of June if I remember correctly.

Contemplating on which room to book first for first year....

1) Four Shared Bathroom (cheapest)
2) Double Decker Shared Ensuite bathroom (2nd cheapest)

any thoughts on which is better?

oh and how self-cooking is done in the hostel? can't imagine myself with take-outs and instant noodles throughout my stay there (and yes i take my meals very seriously...)
but im pretty sure there is at least a refrigerator or something right? OO

(omg why am i thinking about all this when im suppose to be worrying whether my results meets the requirements?)


oh well....penny for your thoughts pls~

What the:o so I'm not alone:D , welcome to the club;p

ya i feel kinda bad to spend his money. even if the 50k is mine, I dont wanna spend now =(
rm100 for every hour? wow O.O haha xD i didnt manage to calculate there as I dont really know the length of time =D

i am trying to opt for cheaper education. MMU doesnt have the course I want =)
UTP, i missed the application dateline already. but then, now, doesnt really matter =) i need some time to tink.

I am thinking of UTAR since I have a friend of mine whose sister has a boyfriend who graduated from UTAR and is now working in an oil rig company. heard from him that it's quite good . so yea.

I am not sure about how is UTAR compared to nottingham.
I just want to go to a university whose standard is okay =D not some laid-back university.

any opinions? sorry to bother

Nah, not a problem. People come here, either to advise, or receive advice about education.

TBH, it all depends whether you want to join oil & gas or not. Admittedly, it's the most lucrative industry in engineering, also the hardest to join and might involve higher risk (depending if you work on site or in office).

UTAR is not a bad choice, half the price of Nottingham, but definitely not half the quality of Nottingham. Nobody can tell what's going to happen in next 4 years, but generally you'll probably have a difficult time in finding a job as there will be graduates from overseas leading the packs, followed by Nottingham and Monash etc., after that only it comes UTAR, Taylor's, UNITEN etc. Of course, these might just be taken as a pinch of salt if you are a good performer in interview which is the key of winning a position.

Just be aware that you may meet some students that are doing averagely in UTAR (well, I believe Nottingham will have a flock of spoiled one as well), but UTAR will also attract some best brains in Malaysia - the Chinese that is "left out" by UPU or simply brilliant individual that's constrained financially (you?).

Hey jinjack, how's IMechE Student Chapter doing now?

*yao ming face*
No idea about it. LOL!
Should still be pretty dead I would say.

I got BCC for my trial. They want ABB I'm applying for mpharm. Hmm okay. Thanks for the advice..

Aiyah. Wanted to active active in the society, at least got something for CV. Also, is there a photography soc?

Don't think you'll ever get a place. MPharm is probably the strictest/hardest course to enrol in Nottingham Malaysia due to the tight quality control (because you'll continue 2 final years and graduate in UK) and limited seat (70 max I think). Look for other place I would say.

If you want, just go in and be revolutionary. As much as I admit the issue with the student chapter is the lack of members (as joining IMechE as student members is optional for mechanical graduates - people hate to fill in physical form), the lack of commitment of leadership (that's me!) is another issue. Recent presidents are not those who have very strong links across the societies and can talk to SA with power (I admit I am not that good on that). If you want to do something, there's a lot of space (and money because you can ask fro IMechE Malaysia). If you have more questions, you can PM me.

I think got photography, at least there are photography competition going around so I guess it's photography who launches it.

hey. can i ask about clubs at nottingham? which clubs are the best?

for sports, i prefer volleyball.

are the a public speaking club / club that trains you to talk infront of the crowd?

heheh

Volleyball is alright there - at least when my friend was there last year, they manage to play pretty well. Not the best in Malaysia though.

There was this Toastmaster which I am not sure if it's still existing in UNMC though.

Does anyone else find it impossible to access OWA?

OH MY GOD, I now realize that I am not alone!
I always bother their application office by always emailing them every week and that's what I always get that :\
I submitted my application early June!! At first I thought they need to verify my diploma scores (as I am from Indonesia) so it would take a bit longer, but now it's already too long!!
