Just a case in mind, there are NO recreational facilities there! Not even a freaking gym. What about swimming pool. The joke here is, it's called a UNIVERSITY.

The building is the former office managing the 1998 Commonwealth Games. What do you expect?

While I know this is not unique to M'sia, only in bolhland will former government buildings be called
"universities". That said, I must say I have more faith in IMU than Russian students.

Just asking by, and I'm doing a favor for someone here, is there anyone here who stays at Vista Komanwel? How small is the small room of the apartment? If anyone has pictures to share of the interior of the apartments, especially the small room, it will be much welcome.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not a med student. Cant stand blood

Hey all^^ i'm planning to study bpharmacy in imu.  i consider ucsi bpharm as well. personally i think both are equally good.despite the fact that imu bpharm charged higher fees than ucsi. i met the requirements from both unis. My parents definitely could not afford me to study MPharm.Can anyone kindly suggest me either to go for imu or ucsi bpharm?thank you so much  sweat.gif  sweat.gif  notworthy.gif

All I will say is this: IMU's Pharmacy program is more established than UCSI's. However, this does not imply any connotation to the quality of the program.

that is a seriously delayed patello-spino-quadratus reaction.......

I am not a medical student, but I know:

Patello= knee/kneecap
spino= spine
quadratus = square in shape

I can make a educated guess. whistling.gif

Uttering some medical terms here doesn't prove you are a doc/medical student.  rolleyes.gif
Just be bold and tell us where you graduated from.

This coming from someone who is a 5th(?) year medical student fromMelaka-Manipal, "which was the cheapest local school recognized by Malaysia".

And who once said that "Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy is indeed ranked as 2nd best medical school in the world".

After haunting the "CALLING MEDICAL STUDENTS" thread, you come here.

Not stalking. All information very publicly available in the internet. Just because someone links them together makes one a stalker. Amazing logic you have.

Melaka-Manipal was the cheapest local private medical school recognized by LAN back in 2004. AIMST was cheaper but wasn't recognized by LAN. ( I forgot to add the word 'private' back then. But most would know what i was talking about  smile.gif)
Medical and cheap do not go hand in hand. The fact still remains, the intake of Melaka-Manipal and AIMST is dubious. You, as a Manipal student, may think it is good, and indeed, some will be good, but you cannot use an outlier to justify the trend.

QUOTE(hypermax @ Jun 19 2008, 12:32 PM)
As for the Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy, i made that statement with reference to it's own web site here.
And in the same thread I said I did not find anything about UNESCO ever ranking universities, nor is UNESCO in the business of ranking universities. That's like me giving my ranking of universities; no basis whatsoever.

QUOTE(hypermax @ Jun 19 2008, 12:32 PM)
I was only giving my opinion in the CALLING MEDICAL STUDENTS thread. i was only stating that SPM result isn't important for determining the capability of a student but pre-u result is. That's haunting for you??  rolleyes.gif
In the same thread you said:
QUOTE(hypermax @ Mar 24 2008, 12:23 AM)
Why is it difficult to assess someone by their Pre U results??
For Sam, look at TER. For me, 93 and above is good.
A levels, 3 As and above is good
Canadian Pre U, more than 95 is good.
*
How do you come to the conclusion that SAM TER 93 = A level 3As = Canadian Pre U >95? Or is this "what you think"? In anycase, the fact remains, the last playing LEVEL field for students is SPM, as most of them will go on to do the endless number of alternative pre-u qualifications out there. I agree that one should not take SPM has an indicator of one's academic ability, but it should be seen TOGETHER with the SAM/CPU/A level results.

QUOTE(hypermax @ Jun 19 2008, 12:32 PM)
The great limeuu has been bashing local private Us and Russian Us for sometime. SO i think it's only appropriate for him to tell from which prestigious school he graduated from that gives him all the rights to bash the others.
Frankly, I don't care where Limeuu, or anyone else for that matter, graduated from. The fact remains, he did some have some valid points, and you didn't have a counter argument, so instead of responding with facts, you keep shouting "where did [limeuu] graduate from?", as if graduating from a "prestigious school" gives anyone the right to "bashing local private Us and Russian Us".

So what if he is a Russian graduate and was disillusioned by what he saw? Does that give more weight to his words? If he is a medical graduate from Stanford University that is meaningless, as medical schools are not in the process of making one "the best" doctors, but as many competent doctors as they can.

Also:

Anyone on the internet can claim to be anything.
How do we know you are truly from Manipal? For all we know you could be a casing seller who just happens to know something medical, since "Anyone can be a master at anything just by gathering info from the net."

QUOTE(hypermax @ Jun 19 2008, 12:32 PM)
As for you, who is neither a medical student nor a doctor, had posted numerous nonconstructive criticism and opinion in all the threads meant for medical students and docs. Now, who's haunting the thread?

I rest my case.

hmm... Aus Unis also wants to change the system now to GEM (graduate entry medicine) ?

Thats going to be interesting..
*
It has been GEM for most universities for a while already. UQ, UWA, UNSW are just some of the universities where MBBS is a graduate entry.

And UWA is moving towards something like the Melbourne Model: graduate entry to most courses. That will be interesting to see if it will be a trend for most other universities.

What criteria is "best" for you?


Best as in the shortest? (Adelaide)

Best as in the cheapest fees?

Best as in facilities?

Best as in nightlife?

Best as in the THES ranking?

Best chance of getting the PMS?

In anycase, you don't decide where you go. You put down and hope for the best.

four A's at A-Level with a 580/600 in biology more than qualifies one to enter med-school based on merit....so i dunno why is it that you hold a serious grudge when it comes to imu selecting med-students...just so you know it's exceedingly competitve to get admitted into IMU, so many ppl who infact applied AND were able to pay the fees, got rejected...take the cases mentioned previously as an example.enough with the generalization and pessimism..smile.gif and
PS- not all of us can pay..some families make sacrifices for their children to join the best medical schools....

Those people would most likely have been what some have described as "have money but not the marks".

And if money is a problem for you, and the Malaysian public service thinks highly enough of Egyptian medical schools to send Malaysians there, why not stay at home?
