hey guys am I illegible for dentistry if I do not take up bio? Currently doing physics,chemistry, maths and further maths in Alevels

Hi guys lets say I did not meet the requirement for applying using my forecast result, does it mean i cannot apply anymore? I scored 73% aggregate in my trials and they require 80% for applying medicine/dentistry. Hence I do not get the option of choosing these 2 courses when applying online. So this is the end for me?

No you can't. You must prove that you have already taken IELTS..... Unfortuanely, you did not meet the requirement... You'll have to tell IMU that you missed out a better band in IELTS and you'll take it again when you are already in IMU, and then they will take you in. But don't think you can get away with it if you do not score the minimum english requirement, the academic department will haunt you for your cert until you graduate.
What did you take??? Ausmat?? SAM?? MUFY???
Forecast is only useful when you want to apply earlier. The actual result is that matters....

It's still not the end of your journey.... But if you get a 73% aggregate in your actual result, YES........ IT'S THE END...........
Yes you are eligible.... IMU says you need any 3 sciences....... However, do not worry that you'll be in a lost..... IMU's first year will be a foundation year that you will learn everything about human bio....

o.o...i had taken te muet test but i got band 3~so i can use the certificate of muet apply rite?

Can.... But U must acheive Band 4 during your studies in IMU... I don't know whether you need to take both IELTS and MUET or not like the med students..... But when you apply i'm very sure you need to prove that you have at least taken one english language certification test...

lol sorry for the typo..

erm regarding the english cert, it's stated on the website that I need to take MUET regardless of whether i've taken other english qualifications. Do I really need to take it? I've got a band 8.5 in IELTS

Thanks

Yes you need to take MUET as well even if you got band 9 in IELTS... You'll have to register yourself as a private candidate...

Thanks for the info yeyechan you've been a great help

If I wish to get worldwide accreditation as a dentist, it's best I twin to UK?

IMU don't have any partner dental school at UK yet. You only can twin to Australia and NZ for now.

there is no such thing....

What I am worried now is when I put the 73% aggregate into the online application it does not give me the option of choosing med/dent, only pharmacy. Should I put everything 80% aggregate to be able to choose what I prefered, and then at the document upload section only I show my forecast result to them? Coz they might just straight away reject my application.

Do well in your actual exam and get a fairly good aggregate will be able to secure yourself a place in IMU.............. =)

If you're doing AUSMAT/SAM, make sure you do well in your actual exam. It's either you have a TER 85 (or above) or 80% aggregate for 5 subjects. Remember, some people with 73 aggregate may translate into a TER of 85 too.
You'll not know until you're ranked with other candidates.

If you're doing MUFY, 4 top subjects+ 10% of 5th subject, add it up and if it's above 80%, you might be able to stand a chance.

you wouldn't get in with ter85.....it varies from batch to batch, but normally the cut off is between 91 and 94.........

How do you know that they're academically unworthy? I totally believe you when you say that they're unethical, but so far i've not been able to find anyone who doesn't study or anything like that. I can't believe that there're students talking big like that, omg who do they think they are? Those really smart top scorers always behave so humble and politely, why can't everyone be like that?

Not refering to top scorers here..... I love them coz they are so nice.... What I meant is for the hopeless bunch.....

em..all those courses applicants (esp refer to MBBS)who applied with their minimum requirements will definitely been called for an interview, but not guaranteed to get an conditional offer right? Or not every1 who applied with their min req achieved will be called for interview? wondered how's their selection look like if anyone who knows abt it.. (:

Yes. They will surely call you for an interview.... Interviewing actually play quite an important role you know?.... But to most of you, no problem getting through la....

Whether you will be guaranteed to get an conditional offer, the decision will only be made after your interview, which normally you'll have no problem getting it.... lol....

But, why I encourage students to apply with actual result is because the conditional requirement will always be higher than the minimum requirement.... Let's say the minimum is BBC in A levels, right? The conditional requirement will always rise to ABB.

-->That means, if a student with actual A levels result of BBC, if passed the interview, will be CONFIRMED a seat in IMU.
-->On the other hand, if a student with forecast A levels result of BBC, if passed the interview, there MAY BE have a seat for you in IMU, provided you meet the conditional requirement in the actual A levels result(as what I've said just now... It always rises...) and thus, decreasing your chances if you failed to meet the conditional requirement and when you do, only God and cash can help you..... You may try to appeal to IMU and see if the cut-off for the batch is low or not...... and they will be able to take you in.......

FYI, are you doing local or PMS? If you're PMS-ing... Beware.... As Otago and Auckland will be pulling out in 2012 and 2013 respectively... PMS places will decrease drastically because the NZ's schools are the major importer of our students.... offering to about 10 places for each batch....

no they do not necessarily will call for interview......and the interview counts for very little, the most important question whey want answered is whether you have enough money or not.......

Added on September 25, 2010, 7:55 amyou cannot get in with the minimum bbc anymore.....that could change, as more new med schools starts, and the number of rich students is finite........

Added on September 25, 2010, 8:00 amplaces down south has been decreasing since 2 years ago, after melbourne went graduate entry, and nz scale down (they used to take not 10, but 20 students per batch).....it will shrink some more, when nz backs out, and uwa goes graduate entry.......but the graduate entry places has increased(stay back for 1 year bmedsc).......and places in uk is also up.......and they will always fail enough people at eos2 to shrink down to the correct size......

No....ya....No....

huh?? English problem??? If it's ''call u to come imu for interview'' then I'm pretty sure they will... Processing fee 350 ma.... No call no money.... If it's ''call u for an interivew through phone'' then no la of course... Unless u stay in sri lanka or what... lol....

BBC is just for an example.... =)

That's what I meant... Tell him to beware...... As IMU might fail more people in the pms stream..... It's fixed..... Quotaed.... I believe... And even though the uk places are increasing, I don't see any people who wish to go, even if they are forced to such as brig-sus(opps... Sry...) and keele(no more manchester degree as keele now has their own)and wwick/west. syd.(I pity both... It's in the bottom list of all people....) These schools are not recognized by SMC... Further elaboration will be long but predictable like the opportunities for training etc etc.... Get what I mean huh?

Some of them even said that if they are matched to these schools they would rather go to seremban....

if postgraduate training in these countries is the aim, one should go to uk instead of oz.....postgraduate training opportunities is notoriously difficult in australasia.........and under current 'new' immigration and labour laws, staying back and doing post graduate specialist training is again available for foreigners.....

as for smc recognition (looks like it is a bog issue for some people!), it's a matter of time before these new med schools is recognised......

warwick is actually an excellent uni.....and graduate entry btw.....and keele has a longstanding postgraduate medical programme, although the undergraduate med school is new....
