Easy? I wouldn't say so, but if you've studied really hard then definitely there are high chances you would get cgpa>3.5. However, the entry into degree doesnt take account into your CGPA but your grades and total marks.

Medicine itself is a competitive course, you have to prove that your better than others if you really want the seat. It happens everywhere.

i have a question that has been bugging me from day 1.. PTPTN offers loan of RM 30,000 a year rite? I would like to ask the seniors, when will it commence that payment? Would it be our first year itself or do we have to wait? I can apply when I enrolled right? Cause my friend is going to be in year 2 and she still haven't get her PTPTN loan.. So I'm also afraid the same fate will befall onto me..

For medicine, yes 30,000 a year. 150k for the whole 5 years. Commencement as in when ptptn pay you or you're gonna pay back ptptn?

If it's in the case of PTPTN paying you, it'll normally be in your second semester of year one. Depending on your intake, the date for application is different. This you would have to consult the student affairs division. We applied during our mid 1st semester of year one and got it around mid sem 2. So ptptn takes around 4-6 months to process it.

But of course, you would first need to have the cash ready. You will pay to aimst first before ptptn pays you.

well, when ptptn will be paying me.. cuz my friend is starting year 2 and she still haven't get hers yet... i'm in for the august intake..

so let me get this straight.. if everything goes well, i'll apply during mid sem 1 and then ptptn will come out during mid sem 2.. in that time, i'll have to pay sem 2 fees by myself first rite? and that means that sem 2 fees that ptptn came out will be credited la for future fees..

also, that means that my 1st sem fees is totally on me and ptptn won't help me in that one since i came out already and since they would be starting is sem 2.. did i get it correct?

thanks for ur help csrulez..

Anyhow, they'll credit a full 150k into your account. So you'll only be paying 70k yourself in total. It's just that the time is playing with you, at the end of the day you'll only be paying 70k. And 150k is by PTPTN. So no worries. They'll credit 30k straightaway into you acc during your 2nd sem of first year.

I have some questions.

1. In the medical report form, there's a part where the Hepatits B vaccination report is required. Where can I get that since I've done the vaccination long time ago.
2. How long could this vaccination last?
3. Is Hepatitis B vaccination compulsory?

I know I might post it in the thread. But since this is a medical school thread, I think maybe someone can help me with this. Thanks

1. Get a prove of your vaccination by certified medical practitioner.
2. 5 years, after 3 boosters. 0, 1st and 6th months.
3. Yes.

if u sneak them in, then it's still possible right?

yes. . but need to keep properly.. because they will spot check occasionally.

Best of all, move you once you've settled down. Second semester.
