so we might be forced to withdraw or to repeat a sem?
wow... imu's tuition fees is so incredible, if i am forced to repeat a sem,
my parents will definitely be crazy....
if i am forced to withdraw, they will kill me...
is that so easy to get failed in exam as you said that they even hardly past the resit?

if you have a borderline fail, you will be asked to refer the exam in a few weeks......

if you grades are a clear fail, you may be asked to repeat, either 2nd sem, or even start at 1st sem again.........

if your grades are very poor, you will be asked to withdraw from the course.....

there are 2 reasons why people fail in imu (and msian med schools in general)......one is they lack interest and concentration, and/or play around too much............the other is, due to the lax selection criteria, many unsuitable candidates are allowed to 'try'.........and many will find it academically beyond their intellectual capacity to cope......

Take it as their system of quality control. So study harder. You want prestige, you wanna go around and lansi that you're an IMU student, but you don't wanna study, mana boleh....

so it might be something like you are easy to get in,
but quite hard to get out, i mean graduate...
but anyway, just study hard, right?
i think that is the only way...
wow....so worry....

i am from johor...

and you?
what course did you take?
i am in medical biotech.

Welcome welcome... another johorean

study hard is the only way? well, pretty much...

my experience in med school is, there are two ways to study.

During normal days when you don't have exams, study as much as possible... study with the aim of learning more things, to widen your experiences, to improve your knowledge.

During exam periods, study smart... there's no way you could finish every thing in time... so learn the main chunks, go for where the money is.

Don't bother too much about passing/failing exams at the moment. Just get in and enjoy uni life !!

small place?
pontian labis mersing?

i was graduated from chong hwa high school in kluang, if you know that school...
i think most of you are stpm holder,
so you might not be familiar with the independent schools...

I heard IMU trains the PMS option students better, but how true is it? I thought everyone in one intake fits in one class no? It's not lecture theater style is it?

Students who desire to do twinning with the PMS usually do better in their studies because you need to be good to be selected by most international medical schools. They do not want a half-baked student. Thus, PMS students are usually better.

IMU juz got a new course introduce.food and diabetic.something like dat.my friend taking dat course and its 4 year around rm117k

Pay so much to become a dietician ? IMU is really In-come Money Uni, so unbelieveable got people willing to pay so much for this kind of couse

nah...u can be a nutrition specialist also

huh?
u just released from ISA camp is it?
i know, it's near ayer hitam ma
nope, i would say more students come in with some private pre-U such as SAM and A Lvls
i took A Lvls

Added on July 9, 2008, 6:13 pmActually it depends. My year, I think about 70% of students came in with STPM. Somehow there were a lot of STPM students that year, and we were really close to getting 4A's, but you know how local Uni's are.. no 4 or 5A, you can just kiss them good bye. So we landed here.
