Haven't heard of that before. For twinning depends on the country you head to. You only worry bout that when you finish in malaysia! Hope that helped. Just wiki-Ed no objection certificate, doesn't sound like I had to get an equivalent of that before entering

it is not, for imu now.......cut offs are about 94-95......

ironically, it is easier to get in with a levels.....just abb.....which is about the equivalent of about high 80's.......

ielts is compulsory for imu.......

if you are in the pms streams, when you match over, most of the partner unis will want your ielts anyway.....they will accept 'expired' ielts (ie longer than 2 years old) if you had a very high band like 8.5 or 9.0..........otherwise you may need to sit a second round......and i think going forward, in the new british student visa rules, you will also need ielts for the visa application.....

i think they found a loophole and many students heading over to uk dont need ielts now. they have given an exemption.

there are always a few people who somehow managed to get switched to undergraduate pms.....but as rightly stated, it is difficult as the transition period is sometimes very short.....

i believe there are more graduate pms places now, but is not popular at all......i wonder if anyone has ever taken the sydney or melbourne route......the switch is easier, as you will need to stay back an extra year to do the b med sc, and that is adequate time for change.......

for those young ones.....you all may be interested to know that in the original system when imc became imu and started their local programme, the decision of which stream was only made towards the end of phase 1......you don't have top commit to a stream when entering.....
*
I guess they do have to "lock-in" places for all new incoming students to the PMS's.

but either way many people have claimed to have transferred from local to PMS via the graduate pathway and seems a few of my batch mates applied late into their 3rd or 4th semester and still got it!

not saying that its good to do that, and try to see you financial situation in 2 years time. but maybe if the situation permits its could be a good option.

anyways hows the new system at IMU, with pre-clinicals for 2 years?

everybody does the same exams, irrespective of the stream, so presumably, the same grading system is used......there may however, be difference in who can proceed to phase 2....nobody knows how they really do the matching....but it is a known fact that if you are in the local stream, it would be almost impossible to change to the pms stream at the end, but the reverse happens regularly.....

limeuu we all know its a lucky draw for matching system!! thats a fact.

thanks so much. if i stay in imu for 2nd phase and do the housemanship for 1 year in msia, can i still bcome a Foundation Doctor in UK to become a surgeon? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_doctor)

its good you're planning ahead but you gotta know that all these rules change over time. by the time its your turn to even enter medical school, all the rules would have changed by then. but its good that you know you really wanna do medicine. not many of us have such a firm choice from that age.

just make sure you get into science stream, and being SPM don't have to pile up to get the A's, take pure science and maybe add accounting or econs for breadth so you have a full grasps of things you might wanna do after school.

1---Practise more in writing as fast and as much information as he can... Even though it doesn't make "perfect" all the time but at least it'll be better.

2---Go for the remedial classes and eat up all the notes(Yes, ALL....! Never pick and choose) that are given by those lecturers and vomit them out SYSTEMATICALLY during resit. The lecturers are there to help them pass. If he doesn't make the effort, he should be the one taking responsibility of wasting his 70k and spending time looking for a new direction after failing medical school.

you technically CAN be selective. theres such a thing called being logical. If you really study all your basic sciences rather than comm med or behavioral science. I guarantee a Pass. those contribute a small fraction of what you're supposed to study. and from basic sciences, the further you go along, you're tested on core clinical rather than biochem pathways etc.

Dundee is back to 3 years for clinical school so it's no longer 'short'.
Aberdeen and Nottingham are the 2 schools with shorter clinical years(Aberdeen 2 1/4, Nottingham 2 1/2). Besides, Queen's belfast is no longer cheap. The fees has rised from some 18k to 25k and hence, right now only Liverpool and Aberdeen are cheap. And, Edinburgh is no longer the most expensive because St george's has taken the place of being the PALING MAHAL one.

Leicester is a very good school but there is an entrance examination that you have to pass in order for you to proceed. Once you reach there, you'll have to study for about 3 months(Leicester syllabus, not IMU's) and you'll sit for the entrance examination. Failing rate is about 80%, this explains why it's not favoured. Try it if you dare.

To kane: Once you've paid the fees, they'll just tutup satu mata. Clear? Simple as that.

is it really 80%? seems like everyone passes it from imu.

if i am not mistaken, it's the same exam all students have to take at end of year 2....and most will pass and proceed to the clinical year...i have not know any imu transferee to have failed....the only concern is that the imu content/system will be slightly different from leicester's and thus imu students may have some problems with adapting to the format/knowledge content required....

not popular mainly because nobody wants an extra exam, if they can help it.... smile.gif

heard some news bout students from my batch that have failed it!

note that, despite differences in presumed prestige of some uk med schools, there is actually little difference in the 'difficulty' of the respective universities....

therefore it is a mistake to think edinburgh would be tougher than liverpool or leeds or hull-york, for eg.....

the hallmark of developed countries' education is they tend to be pretty consistent in quality.....
*
i think the quality is consistent. but the examination system is definitely harder in some unis than others. Leicester endures the horrible big exam in their first 4 months in the UK, failing which they are knocked back another semester.

Edinburgh has exams every so often etc

and I think with regards to you post about mixed variety. It is true to some point, but generally, big unis will always get the better students.

M110 is the first of its kind with more Seremban than PMS. Well, guess retaining the students at Seremban=more money for IMU.
