ooh. hm but actually im wondering...less people=less social life rite?

is the scholarship alot?... or is it guaranteed if got gud results for my forecast and not bad extra curicular activities? ... past scholarship holder pls giv some info on it thx...

From MCKL's website:
1. 97% passing rate out of 102 students who sat for their final A-Level examination.
2. 32% of our students scored 3A’s and above

32% with 3A's and above. Very impressive. Have anyone got comparative figures from Taylor or Sunway? My guess is, I doubt not even Taylor or Sunway can match those percentage figures. Even more impressive when you consider the fact JPA do not send their scholar to this college, unlike Taylor.

Added on November 2, 2008, 11:18 pmI knew this college pretty well. If your purpose is to have a unchecked social life and boyfriends and girlfriend etc, then MCKL is probably not for you. Nor is it for you if you wanted fanciful modern facilities to impress your friends, thought this may be changing.

On the other hand, if you wanted a academically focused & friendly & pastoral environment, then MCKL is for you. I doubt there is another similar college with such environment and impressive academic records as MCKL in KL. IMO, that is because they are still 100% owned by the Methodist church but they welcome student from any other religious background and they don't go out to change your belief. Their main focuses are education and character building.

So from a parent point of view and student with enough mature thinking, MCKL should be top choice.

ic. cuz imo, a good social life is important also cuz u'll be going out to society working soon and all that, but not as in bf/gf kind =) thx.


btw. does anyone know what's the passing rate & results of taylor's and Help's a lvl?

It does not mean no social life. Think of it as this way. If you are being distracted by bf/gf and your academic results suffers as a result, they will call up your parent.

I have an old Taylor's 2006 newspaper advertisement. It listed 1047A's. 61 with 5As. 71 with 4As. 72 with 3As. I inquired and was told there were about 800 students in that batch. That means <25.5% with 3As and above. I also have a Yayasan UEM newspaper advertisement and I think theirs was also around the 25% region. But bear in mind these 2 college do get very good student to start off with, aka JPA scholars. I don't think JPA send their scholar to MCKL.

Anyone got newer data? It would be very interesting to compare.

I have an old Taylor's 2007 newspaper ad. It listed 13.2% achieved at least 4As while 18.3% obtained at least 3As. The pass rate for 2007 was 95.3%, an increase from 2006’s 93.5%.

so it's like 31.5% scored 3As and above..
so i guess MCKL's results not bad as well =)
but why TAYLOR has the Name and not MCKL?

Big advertisement budget. Modern facilities like library and banks of computers with big "wow" factors. JPA scholars. The "must be" place for those who fear Kiasu. Of course, must also have good teachers etc. But so many students so how to know each of them well? But they are undeniably a big commercial success with good track records.

MCKL. Old fashion focus on teaching and just as importantly, character building. And of course older facilities with decisively low "wow" factor in comparison. Small in size so can provide friendly environment whereby teacher know their student very well. Pastoral care. Not surprising because this college still belongs to the Methodist church. In the past, they do give 1/2 fee to student of the Methodist faith almost automatically.

Private education institution operated under the Methodist Church is famous for NOT advertising commercially for their success. Their name is made known through word of mouth.

MCKL sister school Wesley Methodist School is so well known for their outstanding results in PMR and SPM that the number of applicants vying for the 180 seats available has always been increasing every year and I heard this year there were 600 applicants who sat for the entrance exam for entry into form 1 next year.

They still offer this.

Many of those previously church funded school of the old colonial days, be it Catholic or Methodist or whatever, are often one of the very best school in town all over the country. They often have more students wanting to get in than there are places for. But the reverse is happening to MCKL with not many students wanting to go there.

I believe it’s because students only knew about it via word of mouth and not via newspaper advertisement, hence fewer. A pity because I think MCKL is one of the very few, if not the only, 100% owned by the Methodist church offering pre university courses in Malaysia. And with one of the very best result anywhere. Even the famous Taylor couldn't beat her, despite having JPA scholars as students. And I think MCKL is losing money but still do it with the support of the church. May be money isn’t everything to them but higher calling is. Personally, I am very impressed with MCKL.

I am currently studying in WMS the sister school. good studies wise. but prepare to lose social life and some rules are ridiculous. there is no doubt MCKL provides good education. But for me I think I can jaga my own studies. I'd rather be more exposed and get a life after 5 yrs of almost hell haha. depends on the student. Would advise weaker students to go to MCKL though. it's cheap some more.

hm im very very interested =) gonna pay MCKL a visit end of Nov =)
any current MCKL students here?

KL Sentral is NOT near KLCC WEI!!!!!

as long as u got the required results the scholarship will automatically be given to u. I was a former holder of this scholarship

ic. how do you ind MCKL? u studied Alvls there?
