well i dont think one would not do well in examinations just because he didn't like the atmosphere or didn't like his roommates. All races are supposed to be united and such racist comments should not be given. Its one's fault if one didn't do well in examinations. AIMST foundation is a very good programme. No university will assure you a place in the degree programme if you do not have the required results. AIMST gives you a chance to even repeat the foundation programme. To qualify to enter the AIMST medical school, you need very high marks (CGPA of 3.5 and above). This already proves that the standard of the programme is very high unlike many other universities which only require CGPA 3.0. As students of AIMST, we know how good the programme is. The people who talk bad about the university are not AIMST students or those who failed and put the blame on the university rather than themselves. A student may do well in school but it does not mean he will do well in university if he doesn't put in his effort. There are many non indians in my batch. The roommates are indians and they are coping well. Its all about adapting to the environment. There are many people in this world, you cant expect everybody to please you. Its time to change and stop blaming others, look at yourself. You kept blaming the university and the environment, do you think that your cousin does not have any mistakes? Then how come so many students are studying in AIMST and graduating?

this is a common misunderstanding about the oz ter system......

it doesn't matter whether the year 12 studies (sam, ausmat, hsc wbatever) is easy or hard, you are NOT marked with absolute grades, unlike most other exams, like a levels, stpm, matrik, foundations etc.......(although you also get a abcde grading as well)

your ter score is a percentile score, ie it marks you RELATIVE position to the rest of the students, in this case, the entire year 12 cohort of australia.....

therefore you may think sam is easy........but you relative position will still be the same, as everybody else also thinks it's easy and score high marks......

therefore, if a cutoff of say 95 is required, it means they only want the TOP 5% of students.....there will be lots of students with multiple a's but with lower ter, and they will not be considered......

a ter of 99 means you are the TOP 1%......how many of you thinks you are there?

understand?

Added on January 30, 2009, 11:26 amperhaps i can illustrate with a couple of real case examples........

a smk has 10 form 5 classes, a total of 400+ students......the best students are streamed into the first class.......a girl in that class consistently gets position between 10-20 in the class....therefore she is within the top 20 out of 400 students, ie the top 5%......

she did sam, and indeed achieve a score of ter 96.35........(in the grades format, she scored 5 A's)........

her sam classmate came from another smk with 8 classes (300+students) and is consistently in the top 3 positions of the best class, ie top 1% of the form 5 cohort.......he achieved a ter of 99.55 (also 5A's).......applied but not given a place in Melbourne medicine.......

both are now in imu

note that both got 5A's.......in the stpm/a levels system, they will be on par......

in the ter system, it is obvious there is a significant difference between 96.35 and 99.55........

one can also pretty much guesstimate what ter one may get if one does sam......just look at your overall position amongst your form 5 classmates, and that is your likely percentile ranking......

A bit curious.The dental surgery of Aimst  is also very competitive or not?If you free just answer me please edge85 ! Thanks!!!

Oic!! thanks for your info!!!

CUCMS's entry is ridiculous. Make AIMST your first choice if you can.

Hey, just read from NST Letter section describing AIMST meal as low-quality with problem with getting refrigerator. Is it true?

hey guys.. im interested in taking foundation in science at aimst. but the recent news about aimst is not tat assuring..

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=...1747&sec=nation

and how's the pharmacy students doing?? are they gonna get recognition from the board of pharmacy?
thanks for reading and please please answer my question 

Im not very confident in my official result,the real stpm is more more more difficult than the trial one.Haiz........if I get A Bio,B+Che and B+math,is there any chances?Im not very sure,but I think my result shouldn't like this lo.This is my worst expectation.Before exam,I think should be no problem to get a4.0 for my stpm but now,only can hope for it.

err....
just want to make sure some 'things' before april....

well...
for the orientation week....
is it really a week or less than that?
coz it stated that o.w is the day after registration day(wednesday)..
so does that mean o.w only on thursday and friday only?

and what are the original documents needed for the registraiton day?

and err....
about the dress code....
long sleeve blouse can be the normal secondary shirt or not?
and the 'long skirt', can until knee level or have to be the 'mop floor' style?
and what is court shoes anyway ?==

and for the sports attire....so that means t-shirt also can ?

(really stupid question...==)

Any of u guys experienced bad internet connection in recent weeks? So unstable man!

I think he means you and hypermax should live in peace la. Haha.

About the fees structure Ivangile,
Yup, all the fees will be credited to your AIMST account and they will automatically deduct your PTPTN money for the fees. Anything extra (if), you will need to settle it yourself.

So in your logic, entering med school with less than TER90 is a crime, equivalent to that of rempiting?

same principles, it's about caring for things around you.....but like i said, exercise in futility, i leave it to readers to judge for themselves.......

hey! anyone can anwer me?my stpm result just out(Bio A-,Che B+ and Math B-).will I stand a chance to enter dentistry of aimst or not?

If CUCMS has such an entry requirements, then it should already reflect the quality of this medical school. Don't you think so? Medicine is supposed to be a very competitive course, ppl strive to get perfect results to enter med schools. Is it so easy to be a doctor nowadays?
