I wish to know your advice on my application to local U Medical Course. I have just taken my results and I get 4A's for PA, Chem, Maths and Bio(all papers are A's), Muet Band 6, Co-curricular around 5 over 10.
My problem is: which Uni should I choose(UM, UKM, USM, Unimas, UPM, UMS). Of course like many others, my 1st choice is UM and UKM. However, I'm afraid the competition into their Medicine is too stiff. Any advice?

Excuse me for asking. Is meritocracy practised here? Or are decisions still made based on racial lines...like in those days where we had the quota system?
Can anyone enlighten.
Let me enlighten u then. The gov says that we will practice Meritocracy, they cite that STPM is SAME level as Matriculation programme. Therefore, a 4As student from STPM is same level as a 4As student from Matriculation programme. Can anyone enlighten.
but the thing is, the 4As STPM student might not get the course he wanted, but the matriculation students is guarantee a place for his choice (remember the news that happen every year,about chinese students who score 4As? couldnt get the course they wanted?)
the quota? well, u get the answer.
*psst, the biggest riddle in our country's education, if Matrics and STPM is same level, why other country didn recognise our Matrics, while they highly recognise our STPM? funny is it?
