then again qualifying for reputable foreign unis might be a prob for some, so they settle for local. my course costs about rm585k in total, so it's not far fro the 500k that was mentioned. I think most of the new ipts med course only cost about 300k-ish?

true enough. i dont think what u get with 500k is really worth it. just for the sake of getting a job.. if earning is ur main concern. might as well invest the 500k or use it as budget for business...

honestly.
unless ur sponsored then its ok

Monash requires AAA cause the competition is really2 tough.

how;s segi? any opinions abt it?

I know that some unis don't allow students from their own foundation course to go into medicine after they've finished it, eg: UTAS and UCSI. any insights of the 'foundations' offered by russia? like how are the units like and stuff =P

UCSI this year has also taken in some foundation students from AIMST.

Well, if you still have places, most still consider on a case by case basis AND if you are financially sound, it would be an added advantage.

Why ah? I am also curious. Fees also competitive. You think Mahsa, Masterskill and Segi better?

Clinical school too far?

So many complaints against IMU esp the "TAN" lecturers (Kazakhstan and other ...tan) and also the 2 hrs per day and yet many students opt for it.
See, why BRANDING is so important!

it is very sad but it is true.i'm cucms student and it is my batch.now there are 236 students and all of sudden they said mmc only want 150 students.so 86 students need to be expelled.which is 1/3 OF THE STUDENTS. the worst part they told us the students on friday and want to expel these students on monday.the name of students who will stay and expelled will be known tomorrow,monday.and seriously i'm very2 scared if my name is in the 86 students. but these 86 students will be transferred to other uni like segi,msu,acms,ucsi, and taylor.

Thanks for the input. Guess will wait and see how he does this year for his Year 12. Academically, he's doing great so far, so will see how it pans out, and if interest is still as strong. I must say I learn a lot from you all here in LYN forums, more insights for a parent..so thanks again.

IMU already cut down the number of mbbs student in the latest feb intake...
