this thread highlights a major problem with medical schol entry process in theis country..........ie the lack of consistent criteria being applied across the kleidoscope of medical training options for malaysians.........from ipta, to private med schools to cheap foreign ones in russia and indonesia and to prohibitively expensive world class ones in the first world...........

unlike most other countries, where selection is stringent and only the best of the youth are selected, there are lots of "backdoor" opportunities here.............

as long as you have money, and a willingness to venture to unknown destinations, all for the sake of having a dr in front of you name, and potentially lots of money...........one can get into a medical school somewhere, even with mediocre matriculation results.........

this "not necessary selecting the best" phenomena occur across all the sectors, ipta included.........an inevitable outcome when other agendas come into play, other than the search for brightest and altruistic of youths.............

hence this discussion..........straight As students unsure of their worth, and others with lesser results getting in instead...........
