QUOTE(cckkpr @ Dec 13 2011, 10:47 AM) The best option is to take a one year course beginning in Jan and ending in November. You will be able to get into Monash by next Feb, thus saving any "redundant" period. Where are the places fully taken up? Are you referring to MUFY or SAM or some other courses?The only setback is that places may have been fully taken up before your results are out, unless you are one of the top scorers and you are more or less "guaranteed" a place.

It doesn't matter if you take STPM/A-Level/SAM etc. as long as you have the results. Looking for cheaper alternatives compared to A-Levels, which is above 20k right? My budget is max 10k.If you want it to be cheap other than STPM then you'll be looking at the pre-u with 1 year durations though you can't say they are cheap but there are places around with more affordable prices if you shop around. What is "cheap" for you? This post has been edited by PradaLee: Dec 13 2011, 11:35 AM |

Also, are you in Monash now and how is the uni? Understand that one will lose a year if he/she takes A-level but besides that, any other pros and cons for A-levels? |

QUOTE(zstan @ Dec 14 2011, 12:08 PM) Pros: Hi zstan,You learn stuff which are much more detailed compared to SAM/MUFY Cons: Time consuming Does not prepare you for assignments Would appreciate what you mean by "more detailed". I am interested in the finance and accounting courses. In what way is A level more detailed? Does this help in getting a degree later in Monash? Does this help later in working life? In your personal opinion, which route would you choose and why? Referring to getting an accounting and finance degree from Monash. |

QUOTE(Patchy @ Dec 14 2011, 05:27 PM) after SPM, i went to NS for 3 months and finished in March, went straight into CPU in Taylors for March intake, and went into Monash next year. Like most have said, MUFY is a good start to get into Monash, but it's not that important. Just get average-->above average grades and have enough $$$. Why did u do CPU instead of MUFY? Was it because you were late for the MUFY intake? Previously someone said MUFY is not worth the money and better to do SAM. I thought that the best and direct way is to take MUFY but if SAM offers a better course, I do not mind that as well. At the same time, I am also afraid of "losing out" by not taking A-levels because the course content might be helpful in the future. BTW, I am looking at Bachelor of Commerce(Accounting). This is all too confusing and hope to get further opinions.10k for pre-u is not enough btw. I did mine in 2006 and even then it cost me about 13-14k. Regarding the course fees, I have checked that they can range from 20+k to 30+k. More than I expected but still within grasp. Now is the decision on which path. |

QUOTE(munkeyflo @ Dec 14 2011, 05:38 PM) As someone else mention, if one already worries about getting in Monash, you should be worrying about whether you can survive in Monash. I know a many people that were getting pretty good results in other local private uni. So they used their results and manage to get into Monash but few of them drop out cause they couldn't cope up or something. What's the difference between AUSMAT and SAM?Getting into Monash is pretty easy I would say. I did AUSMAT and had no problem getting in at all. All the friends that I know who did MUFY had no problem as well. MUFY is definitely more expensive the last time I checked. As for courses intake and stuff, it's best you go there and talk to their course consultant personally. They'll know what fits you best. That's what many people say. And a lot say Melbourne Uni is hard to get in but easy to get out.  |
