they divide you students will divide themselves into 2 groups, during big group lectures.

one group sits on the left side of the auditorium, one groups sit at the right side of the auditorium.

LOL well said. The 2 groups will self divide into 2 groups, the front benchers and the back benchers. The FB will be listening and taking down notes and the BB will be sleeping half the time, talking half the time, and sometimes they're not there.

lol. i'm surprised medical student also behave that way.

lol. i'm surprised medical student also behave that way.

lol. i'm surprised medical student also behave that way.

why are you surprised? you think all medical students are angels committed to contribute to the betterment of mankind and wants to serve to public with all their heart and soul while putting their own interests behind? 

U'll be surprised how many of them will ace the exam lol

I find ur comments taunting.

I'm not good, and some of my seremban counterparts are better, and I feel it is unjustified for them to be stuck in Malaysia. If there's a way for them to get to SG, i'm really happy.

Bear in mind : Most singaporeans studying in OZ/UK are NUS rejects, and they made it anyway to graduation.
                    Many IMU seremban students get straight As in A levels, or a high TER in SAM.
                    Many IMU-PMS students are below parr ( of coz many of them are A students - like what limeuu said- a mixed bag)

And i know how hard they work to get through the exams, and hospitals, and it is not as crussie as the PMS.

Oh yea, what's about the established facts and statistics? I dont think i'm good or highly intelligent, i'm definitely not, but SingHealth begs us to work for them, ironic isnt it?

I have no idea what do u know about medicine, but somehow it sounds like ur not from IMU or else you wont be saying such stuffs. Ur judging a medschool solely based on its reputation to a point you are judging other medschools as incompetent, and here i mean, IMU. (oh yes i'm biased)

I take it as a sarcasm, seriously. I'm sorry but i cant help but feel offended. I dont think ur an IMU student, so be it.

I'm not talking about other "unrecognised med schools", u know all about them. If u are directing towards all "unrecognised med school" yea ur right, 90% of them will not make it for NUS final exam. Quite impossible lol. But as far as how i'm trained in the PMS, i'd say IMU seremban graduates are far more competent. And they are more likely to pass NUS exam than us.

Ur being to judgmental about some medschools. And yes i'm biased to IMU.

I think yeye and me both are PMS ppl, but we both feel unjustified for our counterparts back home. And we feel that they are much better than us, but they dont share a common pathway with us anymore (eventhough we studied in the lecture hall together).



Hence when there's such news as passing the NUS MBBS thingie to get to singapore, of course i'm delighted. I'm happy! And they'll be half a year faster at least!

i would like to ask if imu offer any scholarships for dentistry courses? i have a friend who is facing financial problem but he is a bright student. Currently studying a levels. Any alternatives for him? i heard ptptn only give out very little loan.

In my opinion, one should be given the chance to practice in singapore and take up traineeship if he has the right knowledge,skills and attitute. NUS final MBBS which is tailored to NUS graduates, shouldn't be used to judge a non NUS graduate as he went through different training as the NUS graduates.

if he can afford to study a levels, he is certainly not poor enough.

study at manipal instead?

Well, he is under taylor's scholarship. So, the fees kinda subsidised already. Anyway, no other choice to go IMU?? any scholarships for dentistry?

my classification of poor would be:

i cannot afford study a levels. my only choice is form 6.

even IF i can afford a levels, it would be at TAR college, and get subsidised as well.

the cost of living at taylors for one month can feed a student study at TAR C for maybe 1.5-2 months.

so if your friend is not classified under that category,i think IMU would deem that you are not poor enough.

I agree. I could never understand how could a person call himself poor if he can do A Level instead of the free STPM. What more, at the expensive Taylor and everything around it.

i think there's a big difference between 30k and 500k, erm, almost 20 times difference?

30K is still 30K too much if you are really poor.
