hey congrats 1st of all
i think your result is quite good, coz during my batch there are some people who only got 3As but still managed to enter medic (almost 2 years ago )
Since ur Muet is Band 6 i dont think it is a problem.
During my days i put my 1st - 4th choice as UM, 5th - UKM, 6th USM, 7th - Pharmacy UM

Its up to you. But faculty of medicine in UM is one of the best med school here. We also have few numbers of world renowned doctors that contribute a lot in medicine field.
But from my experiences, comparing with my friends from the other 2 uni, i think UM is the hardest one
And if youre really interested to do medicine in UM, i dont think theres any problems with your result. Like i told you, last time when i fill the upu form, i just put in 1st to 4th choice as medic - UM (i went to see my school counselor and thats what she told me)
i'm from matriculation. cgpa 4.0, my muet only band 5. And yes, in UM
minimum requirement to do medicine here in UM for the last year's intake is Band 3
having a muet cert is just like a compulsory requirement to enter university, thats all.
It wont necessary help you to get the place in uni
my co-co is quite good, i'm x-head prefect and also hold some other posts during my matriculation and school days.
I dont know much how this co-co will effect ur entry to uni coz during my time co-co activities is not really that important.
I have people in my batch that dont do anything for their co-co

If u'd ever considered NUS, then why not consider UM? Fac of Medicine UM and NUS are brothers u know
Anyway, if you're very sure that your requirement is above the need to enter any course you want, just put the 1st - 4th choice as the course and uni you wanted..
This is what my counselor told me, and it works for me
BTW, UKM is quite good too. I dont think you'll have any problems to enter UKM


and people, please lar, please stop arguing about matrics and STPM... TS already stated that he just need your opinion regarding his choice

owh yeah, in UM, you'll get a MBBS degree after 5 years, instead of typical MD degree

dear bios
no offence here..i am just talking on facts

First of all, let me ask you, are you a medical student? coz your words is kinda too serious and it looks like a comment from typical med student. Perhaps you didnt see the smiley faces in my post. No offence..

ok back to what you said just now. Did i EVER said there is a difference btwn MD and MBBS? I'm just saying TS will obtain the same degree title of medicine which offered by other local gov uni except UM (he was comparing btwn UKM and UM). FYI, UM is the only gov local uni that offer MBBS title, others are MD. So technically what i said is true isnt it?
And please, i didnt said MBBS holder is better than MD

there's one true story i want to share with you, about 3 years ago, i went to a big gov clinics at section 7 shah alam. There were quite numbers of fresh interns working there. Then i heard one of the uncle next to me asked one of the intern:

Uncle: doctor, are you fresh grad? from which uni?
Intern: yes, from Uxx (local gov uni)
Uncle: is it possible for me to get attended by doctor from UM?

*i'm not trying to boosting UM or what here, just that i wanna share with you my real live experience*

so tell me, now the quality from UM is no good huh? so pity me lor, i'll be grad from UM in less than 3 years time..

(to avoid another misunderstanding, i'm not saying UM is the best)

thanx

@wgy589, hey i though i already told u that i'm from med faculty UM. My advices? I already told u on previous pages

@bios, i'm sorry for my harsh post too. I guess i'm a bit emotionally unstable when i read your post and straight away replied in that manner.
Yes, i agree with you, no matter where we study, in the end we will still work under the same roof and for our people our country, so we need to learn to appreciate each other ..
