I am not Malaysian. I'm from Singapore. So i sat for the Cambridge A levels. My 2nd option was for dentistry.

Oh okay, I took 4 H2s. BBBC - these are my grades. PW and GP are H1 so they're excluded.

Lol stop acting like you know hell a lot about the examination.... The truth is a level students did well better than Sam students and the percentile of Sam is adjusted, so many students got 90+ and above and how about those that are 0.1 percentile?  If you are good, then you are, not about the board of examination

You are wrong man..my friend 4A's in A level..interview did badly..then IMU struggle to accept him until the very last minute just before new sem commences his parents make few trips to the campus and discuss with the head of department and only then he was offered a place..

What do you mean by paying higher money? Everyone applying for IMU is already ready for the tuition fee (at least have plan for his financial sources) so dun think that you are the one who pay the tuition fee. One more story. My another friend was rejected by IMU and finally his dad who is a politician (can't tell u who exactly) went n meet with the head of department, guess what? The person old him no matter you are DATO, TAN SRI or who, rejected means rejected..totally dun I've face, so what dou think your money can do even when those of political influence can't do anything??

IMU preclinical school associate dean told my friend who was a A student that not all A student will get their top choice bro..they have a private conversation regarding ow the PMS matching works but I can't tell u more details..just to say that there s bit of political factor inside..they can't send all the smart fellow for those highly ranked partner school, then let the average or borderline student ruin IMU reputation in other partner school..

Nobody care for your pre-U once you are in med school..it's like u won't care about your PMR already once you are at higher stage aiming for SPM..so there is no need to differentiate those from SAM and from A level..if you are really proud of A level then turn ur head and look at STPM straight A Chinese students who manage to enter UM medicine course..their pre-U result is 100% straight As + very outstanding cocurriculum performance..national sportsman, SEA game player etc..but no one care when they step into med school..what ppl care is whether they can be a life-saving doctor in coming time..

that is the correct equivalence....if you have been keeping up to date with education worldwide, and the kind of results being issued, you will understand why anu now finally corrected the skew.....

for the record, less than 1% of students in the hk a levels get aaa....people who doesn't know that will wonder why uk a level a*a*a=hk bbc......

of course, equivalence is never an exact science, as there are other factors involved, but the margin of error should surely not be too large?....

the old equivalence used by most oz unis is obviously wrong, and this has been pointed out many times before by many people, both in this forum and other education forums....

there is no attempt to disadvantage a level students, their money is as good as those with year 12.....in fact, it is clear that for years, oz unis are favouring a levels results, as that's what most full fees international students from msia/spore have....

based on percentile ranking for the uk a levels results as available in the public domain, it works about this:

aaa=atar82
a*a*a*=96

if we extrapolate the relationship in a linear fashion, then roughly,

a*aa=86-87
a*a*a=91-92

Can I know how long will it takes to let the interview to be scheduled? I've applied for medicine in IMU like a month ago. I still haven't get any phone calls from IMU. What do you guys think? >_<
