I got 8A's for my PMR..and I'm currently waiting for an offer from both MRSM and SBP..i already got the offer from SBP..which is Sekolah Berasrama Penuh Integrasi Sabak Bernam..is that school good?I'm still waiting for the MRSM results too though..so..i want to know..should i wait for the MRSM..or go to the SBP?

if MRSM, which MRSM would that be? it is to my experience that not all MRSM are as good as the others, so u're gonna have to be specific.

i'm not sure about SBPI sabak bernam.

you got to sabak bernam meh

my friends and i got sekolah menengah sains seremban

both got pro and cons...
from wat i see....i am now in matriculation programme
here i meet a lot of sbp and mrsm student...
here some story i heard from them

if ur in mrsm:
>u will have plenty of oppurtunity to join fast track programme
>u might get sponsor by mara to oversea if u are g00d enuff

if ur in sbp:
>i dunno...

i dunno what to say
i have friend in mrsm now doing fast track at UTM
and another friend from sbp sains seremben now got jpa scholar
doing preparation to go to korea
so both good choice....

To azarimy..i can't choose which MRSM i want to be in..i just follow what they are offering me..which i haven't received it yet...so..i think i wait for the MRSM first..then i choose between those 2

oh i know that .

it'll be easier to decide if u know which MRSM u're getting into.

opportunity wise, both MRSM and SBP have equal chances to land a scholarship or any study assistance.

if u already got an offer from SBP,MRSM wont offer u anymore..it's stated in their website..
http://www.mara.gov.my/faq/showquestion.as...q=1&fldAuto=126

btw, i got Kolej Islam Sultan Alam Shah (KISAS),Klang...gotta register on 12 feb

Cannot got MRSM too eh?My friend got both last year By the way, i'm still waiting for MRSM first..then i decide

yes sponsor/scholarship from mara is good. they are generous, better than jpa and you are not tied with government after graduation, as long as you dont fail and fail them, your money wont be taken away.

as for sbp, they have good reputation as well, they are more to the government. you can apply for scholarship from jpa if you can guarantee good spm result, and willing to proceed to some pre-uni and being sent to oversea. usually a-level with jpa and international baccalaureate (ib) with mara. sbp have good sports event among themself, so you might get the chance to travel around. i thought they are called as sms instead since long ago?

meanwhile, since you have not get mara confirmation yet, get into sbp first, you can come out anytime later when you are confirmed with mara.

Seriously i can get out anytime?i thought can't

not sure if the system or any regulation has been change in recent years. but during my years (6 years ago at least), i had seen student coming in and out after a month or two, because they cant stand the boarding school.

if you got good reason why not? you can just leave school anytime with proper notification.

stay at home and go for tuition for better results.

waa...consider urself lucky as u got one of the best school in m'sia ...but then,u must not forget...even teacher from the heaven can't make u the best student in the world.it is ur attitude is the most important thing.and don't be so proud of ur school too much.

anyway,in my opinion..boarding school is the place where ur will get the most attention from ur teacher(from my previous exp)and for those outside there whom aren't well-dicipline(too lazy to do many exercise on ur own)boarding school is ur best bet because u will be burdened by ton of homework that u will not get enuf sleep cuz u need to finish ur h/w

and...about the topic,i think it doesn't matter whether it is mrsm or sbp,but i prefer going to well known and renowned school.e.g.:u got kisas(which is sbp and top 5 school)...u also got mrsm kuantan..i rather choose sbp than mrsm(not saying that mrsm kuantan isn't good,no offence here) and vice versa.good school sometimes promise better future cuz people's perception on u depend on ur school.ok here i give u some sbp and mrsm that u must-go-it-first-or-u-will-regret-if-u-dont...
sbp:kolej islam sultan alam shah(kisas),sms seremban,sekolah seri puteri,malay college kuala kangsar(mckk),sbpi integrasi gombak,kolej tengku kurshiah,sms muar.
mrsm:tun ghaffar baba(jasin),berseri,taiping,langkawi.
kolej yayasan saad(i dunno this school is in which side but i think it is private school.nevertheless,this school is no1 school in m'sia)

lastly,it's ur choice...choose it wisely.of course u can stay at ur old school w/o any problem at scoring spm with flying colour but at least give it some try if u get the offer.u can get the hell out of there anytime u want if u dislike being 'prisoned' in th school

not necessarily, sbp and mrsm are of top students and they achieve way better result than most schools, esp. in term of quantity.

apart of that, cheap fees, really cheap accommodation and food, good discipline and good teacher:student ratio, good facilities and a few more. but it is not for anyone.

+ mix around with all kind off student rich poor, from diff state, day and night.
+ learn how to 'berdikari' manage ur own life.
+ compulsory to play any sport every evening ( as kids now days only prefer stretching ther finger Dota,CS , etc)
+ some other good things

bad points now

- little time with family
- have to be in class room for at least 10 hours weekdays
- abt to no life (if lyn, shopping, computer and games, lazy weekend, hanging out are what you describe as life) , but you might enjoy the time of having friends all day round.
- definitely the bed, the room, the bathroom/toilet are not as comfy as home, alongside of daily/weekly chores.

but u cant bring your hp to boarding school,tho, n i hate it...
well, i guess public phones will be my good friends there ....

i think i'll manage well in KISAS, coz i got an offer be4 to SM Sains Kuching when i was in Swak, i went there for 1 week and ran away from that school,hehe...but now i wont run away again, coz the opportunities after SPM are more widely opened compare to ordinary school, that's what i think..

Coz there's a friend of my father who works at Kementerian Pelajaran said that when they want to choose the students to go to overseas, they'll pick from SBP or MRSM first...mostly the top schools like MCKK,TKC,SMS Faris Petra (my sis's school), KISAS (my school-to-be ) etc etc...

so, i wish good luck to all!!!

I was from MRSM Taiping, and yeah, I got the chance to apply to a lot of scholarships right after my SPM trial. some of them are UTP or to Japan under MARA, and Petronas oversea program. I got two of them, and because it depends on the forecast result, I get to start my study before the actual SPM result came out. all the scholarships I applied for are engineering course. but there are other programs available too. for instance engineering or biotech to UTM, Russia medicine, UiTM fast track medicine or accounting. at least those are the available programs during my time (I took my SPM in 2005).

so basically, MRSM has better opportunities for scholarships if that's what you're looking for. but that only applies if you tend to apply using your trial result, after the actual SPM result comes out, everyone has equal chances. and if you manage to get to one of the top ten schools (regardless of whether it's MRSM or SBP), Bank Negara will come to your school after your forecast result comes out to interview you for the scholarship. (which is kinda rare, because they only open their application for SPM result).

MRSM Muar? are you sure? just because Sheikh Muszaphar is from that school doesn't mean it's a good one. my friend who was almost kicked out from MRSM was transferred there. so people actually call it like a tempat buangan. well no offence, but I might be wrong tho.

if you still can, try to get to Kolej Yayasan Saad. it's a very very very good private school. most of the people I met from that school have very high level of confidence and charisma. I wish I was from there.

ermm...I'm not sure bout that cuz I'm not from mrsm,I'm not even thinking bout that astronaut I just put there cuz I've met some student from mrsm muar which are good(in term of quality) and have leadership skill right there I will put away that school from the list i guess

anyway,from your point there,it is true that Bank Negara will come chasing after u when u got a good trial result.u will be proud then cuz all the teachers are talking bout u and the juniors are admiring at u

haha...u'll manage well there,very well indeed.I knew it cuz I was from there ...living there will be the moment u won't forget the most.missing my teachers and friends there

This post has been edited by m_asyraf2002: Jan 26 2008, 06:24 PM

wah,cant wait..erm, btw, i heard from my brother's friend that we're not allowed to look at gurls there,is it true??
all we have to do is just look down when we see 'em..

n, do they have form1,2 and 3 students there also?? or just 4,5,6??
my sis's friend was also from there and he's at Egypt now, getting his Medical Doctor license..

sorry if it's out of topic but i'm just curious...

if i recall correctly, SM sains muar was the better one, not MRSM muar. atleast it was during my time.

yup,it's sumthing like a norm there...in fact,u can't even talk to a girl normally like when u are at ur old school.but u'll understand it when u are at that situation.they do not have form 1,2 or 3,it is just form 4,5 and 6.

yes,it was sms muar.my mistake back then

This post has been edited by m_asyraf2002: Aug 24 2011, 10:26 PM

yes they do. they are the same as the typical secondary school.

um anyone here have any history with sm sains seremban

i went to sbp too....and sometimes i regret i went to sbp....why? u got so close-minded when u graduate....oh, then again, maybe the sbp i went is not good enough...

alamak, one said they do, and one said they dont...which one to believe o.O? i'm asking coz there are schools which do not have form 1,2 and 3 students..

no, i dont think we'll be narrow-minded when we enter sbp or mrsm...of course, we wont know what's going on outside the schoo,e.g entertainment,sports, but we're gonna learn lots...

n after SPM, you'll be more confident of yourself because you're from SBP/MRSM, no offense to those who are from ordinary schools...

u should go SBP la..
this is because, if u have offered to continue ur study in SBP, ur name will be cancel out from MRSM...
both (MRSM and SBP) good la..

well,i dunno much about that school but in 2006 spm,it is no 1 sbp in m'sia defeating kisas which held the title for 4 consecutive years(or 3 is it ) before that.(it is my batch that we lost )so, no doubt it is one of the best school and u should check it out first.

nope,only form 4,5 and 6.believe me cuz i was there before

it depends on certain people...while a few students graduate with close minded,there are many students that graduate with lots of confidence,being more dependent,getting better in ur life,have lots of good friends that we can depend on when we are in trouble and most important thing is get to know the real meaning of life cuz u had endured so many obstacles and challenges in those 2 harsh years that probably made u mature and well-prepared to challenge the real world outside there

hahahaaha!

oh really?

i went to normal daily school, not even a top one. never had any problems or disadvantages compared to MRSM or SBP.

those were the days.....

This post has been edited by killingspree: Jan 27 2008, 10:05 PM

then it seems some sbp have form 1,2, and 3 too while some do not.

because I did my form 1-5 in sbp.

actually,it depends on ur definition of "top student".if you're saying that top student with many A's,then there will be no top student from sbp or mrsm cuz these type of schools limit ur number of subject u're taking.it is done so that more student with a good quality will be produce.then if u're saying that top student w/o so many A's,there are top students from sbp and mrsm then.check the news

u are coming from that kind of school? then it is true about that jambu stuff??

ya ya, sbp n mrsm produce students with quality n also quantity...thats it...... just merely said, even from ordinary school, we can have good education .....

jambu?... hahaha! ... old story , forgotten already..

What are u trying to say here?Is it what does everyone here mean by narrow-minded/close-minded? I can't stand all-boy school..i can't live without girlz being around me..they are my motivation!

narrow/close-minded as in you'll meet those who stereotypes that people who come from big cities are rich, cocky, spoilt etc. and also those who are too full of themselves, who think they're always better than you and treat you like a crap. those who think if you party a lot, you're a b****. those who think you're trying to show off when you speak english in daily conversations. it never ends.

but you'll cope with it, don't worry. and it's an advantage that you meet this kind of people during your school time, cos it'll be useful later when you're back in reality where there are a lot of different types of people.

relax, things that don't kill you will make you stronger.

This post has been edited by AtMostFear: Jan 28 2008, 09:29 AM

I throughly did NOT enjoy my time in boarding school. My advice is go to schools that ONLY have form 4 and 5 students. If you go where there's from 1-5 student, you'll probably have a miserable time there. Especially if the MRSM/SBP you're going to is not one of the best.

I had to go to a mediocre MRSM (I was sick as the time.. my mother put in an appeal to ask for the closest MRSM to KL). All the 'old' 4th formers gave all us new ones a hard time. They wouldn't allow us to do jack shit! Can't run for Student Council, sabotaged the new kids when we were given leadership roles, talked trash about us at the teachers... even blamed one bout of mass hysteria on us! All preposterous and ridiculous shit.

In hindsight I think I would have done much better if I stayed at my beloved previous school. I had friends from all races, was a prefect and teachers who were just as good as the ones in SBP/MRSMs. Instead I ended up wasting 2 years of my life being surrounded by narrow minded, petty and selfish people.

My advice.. think real hard and long about going. Sometimes 'tidak semuanya ada pada nama'.

someone's being defensive! He was just comparing between SBP and MRSM.

Back to the question: I thought MARA and SBP were like MARA and JPA. They are mutually exclusive. You would never get offered by both. Once SBP has chosen their students, MARA would not take those kids anymore( SBP gets first dibs). That was what happened to all my friends who applied to both SBP and MARA and got straight As. Hence, it is probably isn't a decision between MRSM and SBP; it's more of SBP and day school.

Both schools have their own pros and cons. Firstly you have to look at what kind of school you are in now. If you are in a good school with good facilities, teachers, and academic history, then ask yourself what would you gain from going to boarding school?? I was in MRSM Beseri (perlis) for two whole years, and the reason I stayed was cause of the facilities, teachers and the pace at which they set our work. I was also glad that I went to boarding school cause I found myself less distracted as there wasn't really much you could do for entertainment. Handphones were banned (back then...); disc players were not allowed, cause apparently the boys set it up to the tv to watch porn-though I don't know how true that is; and there wasn't a television in our hostel. So studying and sports was all there was to do.

However, I do have friends who didn't go to boarding school and are now in unis all over the world. I mean, there are some people who just can't cope living with the rules set in the hostel. These rules include sleeping at certain times; studying in class rooms as opposed to in their rooms at 3 am; and following the rules set by the 'seniors'.

So, everyone's different. Just think of what you can gain from going to SBP, and whether you could achieve those things in day school. If you can, then why go away from home? Nevertheless, boarding school gave me some great friends and experience I never would have gained otherwise(like living in such disgusting conditions that even intec seems like heaven )

I do agree about school with form 1-5 student and only form 4-5 student as mentioned by enkadirmainbola.

I am x-mrsm pengkalan chepa (why MRSM PC haven't been mentioned here?) which is form 4-5 based MRSM. I was quite a leader in my previous school before joined MRSM, and have good relationship with teachers and school admin. But, during my early MRSM life, i've got "sabotaged" by my own batch which came from another MRSM during their form 1-3. I think it got to do with seniority status. I canceled my candidacy for Student Council and joined rebellion (a group of "freshman" students which came from normal daily school). Since then, i enjoyed been there and got 9As for my SPM. Now doing master in medical sciences at UKM. Took my SPM in 2001

My advice if you make your choice to join SBP/MRSM, try be as low as you could (i mean be humble & low profile among your batch) and try do more in your studies. Be close with the teachers, coz they are from heaven! Stay away from boarding school politics at least until you get your "senior" status.

As for scholarship/sponsor after SPM, I bet all MRSM / SBP student got lots of scholarship/ sponsorship if you do well in your studies - MARA/JPA usually take the trial SPM results for these group so I can say the priorities is given to them first compared to normal daily school student. But too many choices at the end is bad for our health.

i agree with enkadirmain bola..if ur gonna enter premier SBP school after PMR.. i would say dont if u want to have a hard time but yes if u wanna be the among the best.. based on my experience the freshies were the one who excel during exams and even come out as top scorers in spm but they will have very2 rare chances to be in a hicom or even be a player in sports team..that was based on my experience in a premier sbp and from my friends from other premier sbp..
but from what i heard from my MRSM friends..their culture is somewhat difference..they study like hell and its really scary to see how they study..(i dont mean all mrsm are the same..some from mrsm terendak are just "sempoi") the same goes to SBPI..
In premier SBP like mckk star sas ..u will go through a really wonderfull trtadition and i bet u will be proud of it even after u finished u schooling days..those tradtion cant be find in MRSM and SBPI because this premier school are quite old..
the best part to enter sbp or mrsm is the help from ur super seniors that u might not even know..let say u want to deal with something..just call ur old boys (most of them are in top organization in the government or MNCs)..belive me they gonna help u as if u were their best friend..this thing u seldom find in any daily school..
just my 2 cents..

This post has been edited by gobliners: Jan 30 2008, 11:33 AM

yeah i agree with gobliners..ex- mrsm and ex-sbp students sometimes are quite fanatic with thier school, or even sometimes with other school that have mrsm and sbp title. Once they see ur CV stated from same school they are on your side.
but bot people are like dat thou.

however are u sure u will get both, sbp and mrsm offer?
as far as i know, those who already picked by sbp, wont be call for registration in mrsm...well thats the "rule" in my time, not sure now.

anyway here an advice for you. most of the mrsm and sbp teachers have friends who know the SPM and PMR question. so....will they want to focus teaching you on the thing that will not come in exams..? U know the answer..

yah yah !!! luckily i'm not that fanatic...perhaps i dont really have that super good moments during my studies in sbp....

during our preparation for spm, the teachers really spoonfed us with all the standard answers (so called 'jawapan skema') where u can score confidently if u memorise the answers...
yeah, 1 thing i noticed during my stay at sbp is students are competing their memory skill ... lol

r u sure they are competing their memorizing skill?? i dont see that at my school.. what i can see is lots of genius (im not included) guyz which really make me jealous..they fly all the time..sleep during classes..play like hell..and yet their result is still among the top..and that is the scenario.. and teachers dont even mind becoz they know they will perform during exams..

that's cause spm isn't very hard!!! serious... once u get to uni, all u want to do is go back to ur high school years cause there is waaay less pressure and they don't expect u to know everything just from one lecture!!

yeah, tradition....premier sbp got their own unique tradition. One thing you could rely is you get wider connection when u going out to work soon.. hahaha! old boys will always help their juniors... how i missed my school now..

haha...competing their memory skills...nice one~

but seriously, the environment in sbp n mrsm is not the same with others..
yes the teacher looks like spoonfeding u, but in the same time, u need to understand those what have been though to u, or else, u can memorise it correctly..

TS,where are u thou?

LOL azmihamzah. Panjang! I was his dorm-mate back in PC! What a small world.

Another thing to consider is not everyone is suited to the life in boarding schools. I find it a bit difficult at first, you gonna cope with new surroundings and new circles of friends. Also you'll be in a group where top students all around the country being grouped together, so you have to beat the best or at least on par with them. I'm a last-minute kinda guy so normally I didn't do well in the normal school exams. But fortunately I got enlightened near SPM and scored straight A's. From experience if you're behaving like me you'd better off studying in a normal school, you can go to tuition classes and have your parents to scold you if you're not doing well or being lazy. Not to put you off, but if you can't hack it in the SBP/MRSM, you'll just wasting your time and money.

And yeah regarding the sports team, I had a horrid experience too. I was a talented footballer back in my secondary school form 1-3, played in various competitions but when I got into MRSM I was so disappointed with the attitude there. Note that most students there are from Kelantan/Terengganu (no offense intended) and they've known each other together since form 1, it's hard to break the chain, if you know what I mean. Imagine going to the school field and you run for the whole evening just to get a ball, and they only give the ball to their friends, isn't it frustrating? In the end I end up playing basketball with azmihamzah. And imagine watching the school football team, with some players are below your standard playing for cup final with the whole school watching, it's more frustrating. So yeah, expect a few 'untouchable' clicks.

(Will post more suggestions if needed)

P/S: Youngkies, you in Bristol? You play football? Wanna meet?

By the way guys..tomorrow supposed to be the day MRSM results will get out..and i can't even surf into mara website

lots of my friends got their offers from mrsm today...some even got accepted to one of the best mrsm in malaysia like jasin,taiping,pc and langkawi...n like i said, those who already got their offers from sbp WONT get any offer from mrsm,i checked mine, n found out that i didnt make it,hehe...
but i'm going to kisas anyway...

good luck bro ..

all schools are good..
the success of study is depend of us..
if we are hardworking, we can pass with flying colour..
if we are lazy, tak boleh nk ejas la..

Azarimy
MRSM have two tiers, the tier 1 is better then tier 2, and only 8A is admitted into tier 1, I can't remember all but tier among tier 1 are MRSM PC/Taiping/Langkawi . There use to be only 1, but its expanded now. This is to ensure that the students will compete among the same levels. All other things are the same allocation/facilities etc.

MRSM generally, have better qualified teachers, e.g. all with Master degrees. Currently a program to get teachers with PhD is underway in MRSM. All in all you will certainly get good teacher who are passionate about their subjects.

The tier 1 schools will also have the option to take O'levels on top of SPM, so you have better chances to get admitted to top A lvevel school later on.

If you enter MRSM via cables, all your peers will know as your grades will be lowest, and to be in that position is not so nice.

Compared to SBP academically MRSM students are more capable, however lacking creatively. This is a surprise as MRSM student are exposed to myriad thinking skill Lateral Thinking/Mind Maps etc. as a required subject.

Unlike SBP, where one need to enter premier schools, all MRSM are housed under ANSARA. Just state your membership in ANSARA, and if you're lucky you got an interviewer from another MRSM.

Myself ex-BP, and grab chances that come in my way to graduate with a PhD at 28. Now I work with MRSM/SBP for syllabus enhancements as part of paying back ...

wow.. kisas.. ngeh... kisas was top school in 2004 spm. mrsm beseri was second!! woot.. that's my school, and my spm year (hehe.. note that both schools beat the supposedly good mrsm langkawi and pc and taiping )

depends really.. my jpa interviewer was all like," o, mrsm ke??" like mrsm students ada disease ke apa.. ngeh.... and non-surprisingly i didn't get jpa first round.. i had to appeal.. but o well, everything happens for a reason.. otherwise i'd prob have to go somewhere else for my degree

5 of my friends got MRSM..sadly..i don't! haha~ but then..i still got my SBPI Sabak Bernam as a backup school..so i'm going there next week..this 12/2..wish me luck guys! all the best to u all! I'm going to miss my PC and GAMING very² much!

goodluck =) have a lot of time learn there..

mangkuk ayun punya interviewer..

haha told u so..
susah mau dapat mrsm kalau sbp dah panggil...

nway TS, GLHF

both are equally the same but if you get premier sbp , do choose it .

I got both before , nevertheless , i did the right choice . Owh i miss my school! .

what is Elite MRSM?

hello, congratz because scored 8a's in pmr..

usually if u gettin sbp offer, u wont get mrsm offer..
why?? priority come to goverment 1st..after they pick student, then mrsm
can pick student..that y u can see mrsm got batches of intake up to 4 batches
in the current year..(some reject offer because too far away like hometown in perlis got mrsm in sarawak)

at my times, there are 4 elite mrsm..mrsm jasin, taiping, pengkalan chepa and langkawi..
now not sure..(im study at mrsm langkawi 2001-2002)

i dunno bout sbp, but mrsm student are well taken care by mara even after finish spm..

p/s: feel free to ask me anything about mrsm/mara..

hello.

usually MRSM will offer one place only eh?
by any chance can ask to transfer to other MRSM ? :

you could. but the paperwork takes bout a month to settle. and by then you would have made friends in your first mrsm

but i have several friends who transfered to other mrsm, and other students who came in.

i was in MRSM beseri when beseri was pkp. and you could kinda tell the ones who transfered in and those who were originally sent to beseri. mara sends the kids based on their pmr and the test which we did after pmr punya result. so, u can see how academically, the students will be different. especially if they were transfered from non pkp mrsm.

but in general, taiping, pc, langkawi are good mrsm. in my year Q-Ber(kuala berang, terengganu), beseri(perlis) and serting(n9) were considered good mrsm as well. in fact, beseri was the top mrsm for my spm year

pkp is program khas pendidikan (thats like bitara la)

by any chance both SBP and MRSM can offer ah ?

Eg if I get offer from SBP,will I get offer from MRSM,or if MRSM didnt give any offer can I appeal to get into MRSM?

thx

2-2 pun bagus.
tepuk dada tnya selera.

-ex starian-

once you get SBP the MRSM application will be rejected

the CASE is like this

either you apply SBP or MRSM.

choose wisely. haha

anyone get their SBP and MRSM placement ?

MRSM is better because you get to attend a closed door seminar one day before your public examination commences.

Either MRSM or SBP both also got pro and cons.. BTW i'm a former MRSM Kota Kinabalu student (2003-2004)... Although its not PKP you can climb Mount Kinabalu every year there huhu... One of my nicest memory in MRSM

I have been into SBP and it was really great. Had some good time there. I entered SM Sains Seremban, although it is a boys school, but its really fun being there.

kolej yayasan saad, no doubt
i was in sbp from f1-f5, the worst five years of my life........

Go MRSM lah, because you can wear polo shirt to class, more comfy than kemeja...Plus got 'Activity Week', one week without classes = pure win. Every semester you can get Anugerah Pengetua, pretty much like Dean's List so you can have the university feeling there

I've been in both SBP and MRSM, and I'd say both got its advantages and disadvantages although it doesn't really matter once you enter university.

GO MRSM!!!!

One of the most expensive and prestigious school in Malaysia

MRSM intake this year bile?

lol.. remembering me to my old day, wearing polo tshirt.. syok woo in mrsm, can fly to town..

Guys

if u getting any offer from these MRSM:

-Kuantan
-Balik Pulau
-Kuala Berang

i suggest to u not to go.

any reasonable reason?

mrsm la
sbp=study study study=tense=lose
mrsm=play study play study=win

agree
mrsm is different..

SBP coz i get straight 1a although i play alot

i dunno about sbp..but for me life in mrsm is full with fun....got some university lifestyle...

Normal school is also the same leh.

Same thing la happens everywhere. Its up to the individual really and thats what matters.

Anyways most likely this thread is moving towards the PMR batch of 2009 already, the PMR batch of 2008 already got in.

im not sure how the current situation is, but last time back in 2000, if you applied for both and got excellent results in PMR, sure got offered by SBP first. Say bye2 to mrsm lah. Unless SBP didnt choose you, then u stand the chance to go to mrsm.

both sbp and mrsm also have pros and cons. just go if you are accepted and experience it! Teaching is excellent though in SBP.

i flipped through all the pages and based on the posts that've been posted, i could see that those products from mrsm would say mrsm is ways better than sbp and sbp graduates would say both mrsm and sbp are good..i cud see here if mrsm students would narrowed their mind by saying only mrsm is good..

as i noticed, both mrsm and sbp are good in their ways..we cannot compare since we are not experiencing schooling in both school..so how can we compare then..am i right people?

i do have a friend who finished her boarding school (i mean sbp), she managed to get scholarship or sponsorship from mara, doing IB too,and currently she is taking her degree,bachelor in medicine in royal college of surgeon,dublin,ireland ..so for sbp students, they are also capable of applying scholars from jpa, mara or even petronas. not only mrsm students are meant for mara scholarship right? it depends on one's luck and also the way you manage to guide yourself to achive what you want.

me neither mrsm nor sbp..but i did received an offer letter to a boarding school,a well-known sbp though when i finished my upsr once upon a time ago..but i didnt go since im a homelover(u cannot blame the school since im the one who is having problems here..hahha )..but kinda interested to know more about this boarding schools..i would say i do regret for not accepting the offer since years passed by, the school that i supposed to enroll myself did well in their academics and cocurricular activities (based on what is see in tv and newspapers)..amazed by that.

ok for the newbies, i would suggest if u get an offer to further your secondary at a boarding school, you should accept it because it is a great exposure there i guess based on what i heard and saw from my friends around me. they do well in their future undertakings.

fyi, at my current company (a well-known telecommunication commision located in cyberjaya)..most of the head of departments were coming from those famous sbp i.e MCKK, TKC and any other sbp that i might not very familiar with since im not an ex-sbp..so grab the chance if you do have all what it takes to be a boarding school's student..

mrsm beseri was pkp..? what happend then?

MRSM in Kelantan or Terengganu or Penang would be great. SPM papers coming out HOT! from those areas.

MRSM alor gajah also is the best . i heard that alor gajah's MRSM is top-10 in malaysia . in the 4th place i guess. i am a former pmr candidate 2009 . i applied for mrsm and i am really hoping to go to mrsm . im scared to get the results thou . ngeee~ . I heard that one of the qualification to mrsm is also based on mid-year examinations. is it true?
