I did Cambridge A Levels in 2015. Got into USM's Mathematics program (second choice), but won't attend. Preferred UM's Mathematics when I applied.

QUOTE(iSean @ Jul 31 2018, 06:56 PM) Hey Maxis! Long time never seen you already. What do you mean by "direct intake"? The one you need to spend close to a hundred thousand ringgit? Not willing to pay so much.Sadly, UM doesn't have direct intake tho for that course...  So, you're planning to appeal manually? You do know it is people over at UPUOnline approve which university you are going to right...? Do update me, if you gotten UM.  Only those who didn't get offers get to appeal. Not sure what you mean by appealing manually, but I'm not going to appeal, will most probably study at XMUM instead. |

QUOTE(iSean @ Jul 31 2018, 07:39 PM) Yes, that one, particularly for Engineering. I suppose (Pure) Mathematics is one of the "cold courses". Many don't even know that you can study mathematics at uni. Sad, meanwhile most of the people struggle to even get in with external qualifications Because I remember a few STPM seniors, gotten a university very far away, they requested a transfer to another university offering the similar course. Not sure it can be still done tho, but it was around 2012-ish... You can communicate in Mandarin right? Else finding friends in XMUM seems harsh.  Yeah... Location wise Penang is pretty cool. It's the course offering of the program that makes me think twice about taking the offer. Yes, my momma's a Chinese. Communicating with students from China will be a little bit harder, I suppose, so I've got lots to learn... This post has been edited by maximR: Jul 31 2018, 09:38 PM |

QUOTE(iSean @ Aug 1 2018, 02:24 AM) Maybe try seeking "Devin Ky" for assistance Your question proves my point. Actuarial Science isn't mathematics...  What type of Maths course you even looking for? Actuarial Sciences? Applied Maths? And what is now being offered to you in USM? Pure or Applied? Means, can listen mostly local Mandarin then. Still okay lah. I applied to do a mathematics degree for both universities. I got USM, which is the course I applied for, but perhaps you're misunderstanding why I am not so keen on the program structure. It's because most professors there do research on more applied fields, and hence the more theoretical courses they offer are quite limited. |

QUOTE(vergil1999 @ Oct 30 2018, 07:40 PM) Do you study in XMUM now ? If do, can you share your experience ? XMUM is one of my consider. PM me your details (what you want to study, specific details about what you want to know, etc) and I'll answer. |
