hi everyone!

I've applied for the IMU-PMS option (Feb 2013 intake). Went for my interview last monday. My A level grades are 5Bs, 1 C. My O level grades are straight As. What do u think are my chances of getting in?

After my interview , one of those who interviewed me said I did a good job & that he really hopes I get into med school. Therefore, I guess my interview went great. Now, it's just about the relative competition.

Thanks everyone (:

Did you put any other option besides IMU-PMS?
I think the cut off for PMS 2013 will be higher than AAB.
Why did you take 6 A-Levels? May have been better to focus on just 4.
Are you Malaysian?

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

Those 6 subjects..are they all in H2 level? Project Work/GP are not counted.

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

Perhaps IMU will admit you because of the higher $$ that you will be paying.
Also, some people are of the opinion that Singapore A-Levels are of a higher 'standard' than UK A-Levels.
You will be of luck if IMU shares the same opinion.

Otherwise, I think you shouldn't put high hopes on it.

P/s: I have never came across anyone who didn't do well in the IMU interview, especially if the person had already go through some other "harder" interviews. There're rumors that the IMU interview is just a formality, if you get what I mean.

Alright, thanks so much for your reply! (:

both are true......not opinions and rumours.....

note that the spore a levels is a different exam from uk/cie.....with different grading system....it's a lot more difficult to get a's than the 28% in the uk a levels...

Would that increase my chances of getting in, in any way?

probably no.....unfortunately, there is no way of equivating between the uk/cie alevels and the spore one.....and many people don't even know there is a difference....

current cut off for the pms stream is about aab....they are swamped with people with >aaa this time.......taylor's college alone produced some 300+ of them this year.....

Oh, alright. Hmm, so I'm assuming you don't personally know of anyone who got in (IMU-PMS) with grades similar to mine?
