also don't forget jpa will force at least 20+ scholars from ur batch (ME208) to rank ALL oz+nz universities as their top choices
though those scholars are not the top jpa scholars, the number surely will disrupt the pms matching...

anyway enjoy ur sem 3, good luck.

yes i was kinda tensed during sem 3, and too bad, i did badly to put myself in awkward position now prior to the imminent PMS matching. hope u can do much better than me la

my batch around 17 failed EOS3, and 7-8 failed resit in the end
dun really remember the figure already, but no 1 failed OSCE la

welcome to vista C

which programme?
of cuz there're different types of lecturers

somehow we dun see many (if there's any) seremban students here
perhaps, as the title says, bukit jalil?
but i think u can get the terrace houses there, 1 house's rent = or even < a room's rent in vista
and it's advisable to have at least a car per house

because we're professional?
and i think it's better that way, we look more professional especially when we're having postings outside

did i say IMU's professional?
and why makes u think IMU not professional??

we can give our opinions, if insiders don't know, then who knows?
but his comment is out of nowhere, with nothing to support
btw had fun signing for juniors for signature hunt, and meeting new people
it's my 1st time signing for juniors though my very last sem in IMU is approaching

First i have to know what are u doing now? High school? Pre-U? If Pre-U then which Pre-U, and when can u get at least ur forecast result, if not actual?

Assuming u're interested in going to PMS. Yes, for now February batches are generally less competitive, with less STPM students (they are usually hardworking but not many of them actually opting for PMS) and JPA scholars, with less of the latter fighting for Australasia PMS'es.

A-Levels result should be released simultaneously worldwide, while STPM results are usually released in March, though some of the STPM students come in by February with their forecast results.

What did you get for A levels? And what are your preferred destinations?

Well, just don't think about the competition first, it's more time-saving if u apply for February intake now right? (Because it's too late to apply for August intake already) Yes generally February intakes are fewer in students overall, for both Seremban and PMS options. The competitions are less stiffer for Australasia PMS'es, and even lesser for those UK places, as TRADITIONALLY there are few or even no JPA scholars can rank UK PMS'es first (i use the word traditionally because JPA started sending some A-Levels students to ME1/09, who are already bound to IMU, not just those AUSMAT and SAM students who miss their places of Australasia medical schools due to various reasons, who can only put their initial respective countries as top choices). I even heard someone from M1/07 with below average results got Edinburgh. This is almost impossible in M2 (August) batches as Uni of Edin is one of JPA scholars' favourite destinations.

As aforementioned, my facts above may not apply to your potential February 2010 batch as this year JPA started sending in A-Levels students by separating them into 2 batches, with February batch having generally the better students. Rumours also say that JPA may revert to the old style, which like mine, M2/07, having 50-60 jpa scholars all cramped into 1 batch, taking nearly half of the PMS places, hence a force to be reckoned with. It seems i'm stressing too much on JPA scholars, perhaps that's because i'm one of them, but it's more due to the fact the number of JPA scholars and their trend of ranking PMS'es are more predictable compared to the private students.

Private students are usually more concerned of the fees and job and postgraduate prospectives, making Australasia PMS'es, especially the cheaper ones like Adelaide as current favourite destinations. Of course, there are still some, who consider UK or North America as their only destinations.

To your second questions, i don't have a definite answer. I can only say that, IMU puts more emphasis on students' financial status then results. But of course, it's always better to apply early, isn't it?

What i said above would not be absolutely right but I do hope my rare longer post can give you and others out there a clearer picture.

Oh then if u do OK in interview most likely you'll be accepted by IMU.

The links are reposts as I did post them few pages ago, in case u missed them. As you can see there's even no Tuition fees & iNFO guide for M2/07 out yet, so i'm not yet matched. Being in uncertainty is definitely not a pleasant feeling u know, yet i can foresee that most likely i'll be matched to an Australasian PMS as my results aren't good enough to secure me an UK placing (because usually only top JPA scholars are allowed to rank UK as their top choices).

ya i do realize and acknowledge the chance of getting "displaced" by other students in PMS matching, and get matched to a UK PMS, even after i rank all Australasia PMS'es as my top 8 choices. it did happen before.

i think u did notice the changes especially of no of NZ places available
i was told by the dean from Uni of Auckland that this is a step to provide more places to their domestic students
so the number of IMU students going to Auckland in Jan 2009 was 25 and in Jan 2010 is about 8.
generally there're slightly more UK places for Feb intake, and more OZ and NZ places for Aug intake
u can read up the matching guides by IMU but in the end god knows how they determine the matching outcome

just a correction, our ranking is x5 not x7
bout JPA scholars, i'm not too sure as well
but this is what i heard from M1/07, JPA officers did tell them they expected up to half of them won't get a place of the group of countries JPA assigned them for, and in the end about 3-5 out of around 11 of them did really turn up to get something out of their top 8 choices
so what i think is, especially in M2 (august) batches, though more than 20 JPA scholars ranking all OZ PMS'es as their top choices, if your result is better than them (they are generally above average or mid-ranged rather than top students), u still stand a better chance compared to them.

And ya, agree with CR7, just try to do your best in your exams (and ECA is actually not that important unless u're aiming those few PMS'es which look at ECA achievements). The first things they always look at are still ur exam results.

well u do have postings and OSCE during your stint in IMU
just tie your hair as needed and u'll be fine

u can email SSD (student service department) for a list of accommodation
do u want just a room, or a house?

hey cr7 thanks for adding more sh*tloads to my already very busy sem 5
nah just kidding
all i can say is, the best way is still to contact (email) SSD for accommodation contact+info list
some are people renting out the whole house, some just room(s)
or u can contact an agent called yvonne, she's quite reliable from what i heard so far
0122871844

where's the room?
which block/tower?
and internet access? i hope by internet access u mean time netlynx because that's the only reliable and unlimited internet service here

no vista komanwel signed contract with time
and why go for a worse ISP?
netlynx is far better than streamyx
constantly FULL 2mbps (mine never dropped below 1.5mbps) for rm99 a month only
don't trust other ISPs, especially those wireless ones

edited: for those who are not really sure what 2Mbps means, it simply means when u download u see about 250kb/s (1kilobyte=8kilobits) download speed
and mine seldom drops under 200kb/s unless limited by the download sources servers' speed
