hypermax:

AIMST take in 200 students per year (they used to take in only 120), in two seperate batches (ie, 100 each). When that guy mentioned 'dubious', he is right. Priorities are given to students who have completed their AIMST foundation programme. They still do open their seats to other pre-U qualifications.

I was in that similar scenario. They couldn't assure me a place in January 08, so I simply opted for dentistry (in which I have no regrets as there are too many doctors anyways).

If you're taking up medicine just to join the rat race, then I hope you would reconsider. It is tougher than you think.

I don't see how would that be a problem. No patient would care if you had straight As or not for your SPM. All they most probably want is your track history (after you graduate).

I mean come on, would you really go to a doctor and ask him "Hey, how many As did you score for your SPM?". Come, do educate us on how would you choose your doctor.

I mean, seriously...spit it out. How do you pick your doctor? I'm asking you how, that's pretty subjective.

I come from a similar line of profession. I used to have a whole butt load of As too. But now, I could see it's more than just As to be good doctor.

In my class, some of the nerds are really bad or slow at cavity preparations & fillings. Their vast amount of text book knowledge is of no use when it comes to hand work.

Personally, I wouldn't want a nerd examining me.

Well, limeuu has pretty much said it all. For once I'll agree.

Frankly, my mom judges her doctors from their certs. I too might judge my doctor from his degree. Yes, having that said, I WILL see where he's graduated from. While I won't cut them off, I'll just be a little more cautious.

I'm not so sure about AIMST. The lecturers are excellent. The senior batches too are really good, but as for the ones fresh ones coming in with their AIMST foundation cert, dunno lah. Coz nearly every Tom, d*** & Harry is getting straight As in the SPM. It's quite hard to judge them yet.

And why the hell is everyone chasing for an MBBS/MD?! Money? Status? Passion?

d) Google it!

Judging from all your posts, you're all most probably future medical practitioners. Then what do you think that could be done to correct this problem? Of wanting both IQ & EQ in doctors. If this continues, manyak susah lor...

Btw, you must also take into consideration, there are many lower/middle class top students who missed by an A in their STPM and don't get to study medicine locally. And just because some of them enroll in IPTS, you can't say he's of a lower class doctor can you?

In addition, are you saying only the richer & smarter ones get to be the best doctors?

Welcome to AIMST. Good to know everything is fine.

I've never heard anybody who praises this place to THAT extent. Well, I'll agree with that too, but you missed out how cool the admins are =p. And the air ain't fresh all the time.

And hi Jace, you from Penang? Me too! =)

Uh, I actually don't agree with you. I hate the admins to the max. They're a bunch of pariah caste who... are just damn f***ing lansi ok. In addition, they're slow, they're messy, they err alot. Possibly they're not getting paid enough. Namely, the Examinations Division & the Student Affairs.
You'll learn about that in no time. =)

Why didn't you pick IMU instead? It has gotta be better there.

I think Dangaioh has connections in the uni...hmmm...

OR he's impersonating as a student.

God knows.

Btw, you can always take SAM or A Levels too.

These foundation students can be real annoying sometimes. Especially on how they behave at the study area, treating it like a McDonald's outlet.

Yeah, I suppose cafeteria food has improved alot since these Jaya caterers came. But many say they suck because they're not used to Indian cuisines.

I love the roti sardin tho. I have to admit they proly have the best roti sardin in the northen region lol!

Yeah, some form of regulation should be enforced. We should suggest this to the student council, who's no where to be found after the election.

What has the founder got to do with value of anything? All he did was contribute money to the university.

Lots of money.

He's saying the degree here bo laku...

Why do we have to worry about it? The university is fully set up, and MIC is not the sole contributor of AIMST's funds.

And so what if they got their degrees from India? I know many Malaysian practitioners who graduated from India, and they're all doing fine. So are my lecturers.

Please think before you make accusations. Otherwise it makes you look stupid.

Hey, how come only she gets replied! I'm STILL waiting for mine.

Spoon feeding? I think that happens in most parts of Asia. BUT, mind you we have PBL. Lots and lots of PBL. Half of our dental lecturers are Brits, so we do get the best of both worlds. And it's the clinical phase which will really determine how good you are.

And come on, the ID system is for confidentiality and official purposes. As professionals, would discriminating do any good to any party? I don't think so. It's not that the lecturer will win what, more votes? i.e. there's no reason for discrimination at university levels (I don't know about IPTAs tho). Besides, 80% of my batchmates are Chinese. And everyone is doing fairly fine.

Speaking of discrimination, aren't you a Malaysian? Get used to it.

Isn't it obvious that you're now turning to English. Running dry on Google-facts? Whatever happened to Sami Vellu lol...

Anyway, maybe you like facts. Here's our dean. Try this: http://www.nature.com/bdj/journal/v186/n4/full/4800050a.html if it means anything at all.

There're bound to be black sheeps where ever you go la. It's not fair to judge a race just because of one person's fault. Operating in the wrong lung; you can't blame his school for that. If he's a surgeon, he must've did his post grad somewhere but not from India. Plus, the surgery must have been performed by a group of professionals. But still, yeah it's his fault la.

Following all your previous post, you must a god damned racist. I wouldn't dare to admit that the Caucasians are flawless too.

I guess that's why AIMST foundation, I have to admit la...suck balls. Au contraire, the degree ones are a total opposite. Guess you'll just have to bear with that, or write into a newspaper so they'll wake up. I see the students also pek chek. These people wanna be doctors? WHY MUST EVERYBODY WANT TO BE DOCTORS?! Sien lan douz.

Yes, I do teeth.
