From the 3 comments above I think you can conclude that Pharmacy is the best way you can go.

But 2A* and 1A already can bring you to many good University outside of Malaysia.
If not, go work up your CV. And try to get into UM/USM Next year, if fees might not be bearable by your parents.

Yes.. but tuition fees are too expensive for oversea uni.. dont think it is necessary.

Btw, A level can enter UM now? I thought u have to take MUET and must be from matrik/stpm?

UM/USM had always approved of Qualifications of Cambridge A-levels for quite sometime, but applying for USM/UM is not under UPU from the previous years, so students have to go through an interview or something to apply last time.

But starting from 1997's batch of STPM students, aka starting from this year onwards USM and UM are now under UPUOnline, so you guys have to apply from there.

Currently I have 2 friends from the MCKL 1507's batch (A2 in Oct/Nov 16) from MCKL gotten into UM; one gotten Medic another gotten Applied Chemistry smile.gif
Both will be starting their Degree programs next month.

Yes, for MUET wise, you have to take eventually, but with the time you have now, surely can apply for the November MUET exams. Or Next Year March Exams.
But there's an option in UPUOnline for Pending for Results, or haven't taken it yet. But best if you taken it lah.

Anyhow, if you really interested, I guess you can go direct visit for USM and UM, to their Admission Office to ask about them are they still accepting students outside the UPUOnline system. If not later you are forced to make a gap year transition into IPTA next year September.

But with your results, maybe apply UTAR, IMU or Monash for Pharmacy? If you can't really wait for it?
Also You didn't took Physics right? hmm.gif

Woa, thanks. Then ill try to apply for UM.

I went to monash and IMU. What worries me is that most of their lecturers are from foreign country, mostly India and Pakistan. Not that im racist but their accent is so thick that its hard to understand what they're trying to say. Cannot imagine how ill survive in thr lecture hall in the future..

Right now i still couldnt make up my mind whether to take the pharmacy course or not. Salary wise, it doesnt look that good to me.... But i think i have no more choices sad.gif

Yeap i didnt take Physics.

Thanks for ur help man... You're a nice guy.

Well I can see why, I personally have this type of phobia with the lecturers I get, even local Malaysian. sweat.gif
But good or bad, adapt lah, thank god my course there's online lectures as supplement replacements.
Pharmacy wise, I'm not sure it exists or not? sweat.gif

Indian Accents, those foreign borned, and came here to work for 5 to 10 years, those accent not so heavy lah.
If you kena lecturers from Arab / Yemen, etc. then you really "bad luck" lah, because like our most of "Malaysians", who can't form proper sentence with English doh.gif

Anyhow, eventually in Malaysia you have to brave through this "bad luck" lah, UM also do exists this type of people.
Hopefully Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) session/classes are available for you. sweat.gif
If not really need to find your lecturer, seeing him/her willing to entertain you or not.
