The 2 JPA scholars are from KYUEM. Not sure if the other 2 are from Mara. I can't find the advertisement.

3As pretty standard requirement, if they like you in the interviews.

Saw the ad... the other two from KYUEM are Mara scholars.

Many from the following list are doing Medicine, 13 from KYUEM alone.

I understand she wanted to go to the States to do Psychology.

Like Limeuu previously said, the slate is wiped clean upon starting medical school. While pre-U results gets one into the course, what one does in medical school is one whole other ball game. For a start, the environment is totally different in university, and nobody is going to make sure one studies, and keep at it.

An academician friend opined that in his experience, the students who fare better in university are the ones who more or less studied independently while in secondary school, and in pre-u with no tuition at all. He added that there are A level students who attend tuition as well (due to habit), and is thus unfazed by all the A*s.

With 4A*a, said student could have gotten a place to read medicine in the UK, unless PSs and/or interviews were not quite up to par. As for performance in UTAS thus far, let's hope he overcomes his predicament, soon.

Ok that's more like it!

I am sure father has his reasons. However to give Cambridge a miss...oh dear. UNLESS, the father knows that LOTS of Oxbridge medical students end up in research and academia.

Wonder which country will send their scholars to do medicine in Malaysia. The article is quite hilarious, really.

Which med school are they in?
So Mauritius recognizes Malaysian mbbs. One is more than nought.

good news indeed!

For medical student wannabes and current medical students, 5 tips worth reading:

https://www.facebook.com/ArundiMahendranMBB...ster=ts&fref=ts

"Due to popular demand, I'm reposting the below. Good luck with all those applications! Will follow up soon with some tips on how to get into surgery school.

Tips for the aspiring physician! Many of you have asked me advice regarding a career in Medicine. Here are my top 5 tips:
1. Get some work experience. Volunteer at your local hospital or shadow a doctor for a few days/weeks. See if you enjoy working in a clinical environment. Important to know early. You may be able to get involved in some research projects. All great for your medical school application and resume.

2. Study, study, study, study. I can't say it enough! Medical school is a tough place academically. You have to learn a lot of facts in a short space of time. There are frequent examinations. The only way you're going to survive and be successful at medical school is if you study. If you don't like to study, this is not the career for you. So think long and hard before you commit to a career in Medicine.

3. Find a Medical School that suits your personality and interests. This will motivate you to study and you will look forward to going there. All really important in helping you to study and get the grades to go. Whatever anyone says, all medical schools are good schools! Period. They all teach you to become a doctor and getting into any medical school means you're bright and gifted. Don't get distracted by finding the "best" medical school.

4. This tip is a carry-on from the above point. Medical school does not make you a good doctor. What you do with yourself AFTER medical school is what counts. How you conduct your professional life, how hard you work, how committed you are to your patients and your dedication to your practice - these are the things that will determine whether you are an excellent physician or just someone who went to medical school.

5. Finally, don't give up the interests that make you, You. If you enjoy rock climbing, find time in the semester to do it, if you're a fan of plays or music, keep acting and jamming with your buddies. All these seemingly trivial interests are actually what make life spontaneous and fun. It keeps you going through the years of hard study. And importantly, it helps you to relate to other human beings, namely your patients.

Here's a secret, I did not enjoy medical school. I found it boring and repetitive. When I graduated, I was relieved to find that I loved the practice of medicine! I enjoyed taking care of patients, the diagnostic process and was thrilled when I got to go to the OR and do stuff. I knew then and now that I had made the right choice. Its life after medical school that counts, don't forget that. Good luck and godspeed!"


Dr Arundi graduated from UCL. Her take on "all medical schools are good schools", sadly do not apply in Malaysia.

You're right, and a google search with her name and Tan Tock Seng Hospital will only give links to the articles posted here.

Someone should ask the right questions during the talk! It will be interesting to see how the questions will be addressed, or sidestepped. It looks as thought it is GES that made the statements you highlighted.
