Do you need to pass ISAT to enter into all courses in Monash Sunway campus? What is the passing mark for ISAT to take up Medicine and other non critical courses?

not all courses just Medicine ^^

Any indication of what scores are required? The scores range from 100 to 200 for the 3 parts of critical reasoning, quantitative reasoning and overall reasoning.

Sunway, not safe at night? They have very strict vetting both in campus and at Sun-u residence.

Talking about the campus grounds or outside the campus?

Really, that serious.

Do you know whether those taxis at Sunway University College and those parked outside Sun U Residence are safe. Meaning, are there vetted by Management.

Enjoy college life as this is the best time of your life. Follow the pace and dont burn yourself out.

The working world is an entirely different "planet".

Before you know it, you want to quit and go home.

Many uni issue conditional offer. But if u cant fulfill the condition, they will also refund ur $$ one in case u paid for the sem fees.

Does Monash Medic issue conditional offer letters? There are only limited seats and at the recent interview, there were more candidates than seats available. Apparently, there would be another round of interview towards the end of the year catering to those A levels students who recently sat for their exams and the success rate is about 1 for every 5 applicants. Pretty competitive, huh?

i don't think so. you need full A's before you can qualify...

Someone commented that Monash will inform you (verbally,maybe)at the interview that a letter of offer will be given after you achieve desirable IELTS and ISAT results. I dont think they do it coz the interview process is still on going and the seats are limited. Maybe they will tell you that you want further consideration, IELTS and ISAT must be provided. By giving conditional offers will deprive other students in such a competitive institution such as Monash.

there are 3 components for monash msia medicine......the academic result, isat and interview........(most people who apply there have no issues with ielts)..........

they may interview you without the isat........but NO decision is made until ALL the required component are in, then they will make a decision, and offers will be issued........

anyone who walks away from the interview thinking he has a offer, conditional or unconditional, is dreaming..........

Sunway Monash is on a nationwide road show in major towns. Special emphasis is on Medic but I believe other queries would be entertained.

I've mailed them already. I think the student centre is largely responsible for why i have to appeal now.

Hey guys, I need your advice on this.
Back in June, I went with my SPM results and A levels forecast and met their enrolment officer there. I wasn't too sure about what they wanted, so my parents thought bringing my transcripts over for personal scrutiny would clarfiy things up.

So I went and met one of their officers there, and upon reviewing my results she said I was eligible for the course (Business and Commerce if you're interested to know). However they school would need my actual A lvls results and not the forecast but in the mean time, I can submit a scholarship application and then submit my actual results when it came out later. My forecast said I was expected to get 3As. I took 3 subjects only, namely Business Studies, Economics and English Literature.

So I did what the girl told me, prepared my scholarship application + testimonials and references from lecturers . I went back there only to be met by another enrolment officer saying that it was impossible for the University to accept my scholarship application without applying at the uni first. She said I could come back in December to apply when I had my actual results. Feeling very confused, I did as I was told.

Then came December.

I gotten my A lvls results already by that time. I got A* for Business Studies, A* for English Literature and A for Economics. I went back there to apply and while they said I was eligible for the scholarship, I was ineligble for the course!!!! WTF!!!!!!!

They said one of the course prerequisites is Add math, which I didn't take in form 5. A temporary staff probably attended to me back then, so there was clearly some misinformation, and to top it off, it is assumed that all malaysian students take add math. (Not for arts students what...)

I can't apply for Nottingham already; their business intake was in September, which mostly meant that  I would have to wait another year. UK universities do not require add math. The student centre just wasted 6 months of my life.

I've sent my appeal to Monash, reiterating the incident that happened at the student centre and that my parents were with me at that time, about how I can't apply for Nottingham anymore, about why I didn't take add math in f5 ( I wanted to be a journalist) and tried to convince them that my math was up to par since I got A* for Business Studies and that subject in A levels is equivalent to a first year degree. My cousin studies at Monash and is in her second year, majoring in Business Statistics and Ecnonometrics. She says no add math is needed. I also suggested to Monash that I will take any pre-u, MUFY or sunway matriculation mth subject to compensate during the course of my degree. I am very sure it will only take 3 months or so ( but I didn't tell them about the duration). I also included 2 references from my lecturers. I even sent them my course strcuture and syllabus excerpts.
Today they sent me a letter via email saying my application was rejected and that they've academically reviewed my transcripts. But they made no mention of my appeal.

The enrolment officer said I could go to Victoria University in Sunway and rnasfer here in my second year. Most students that didn't meet the requirements do so to study here since VU is less strict with their pre reqs. As expected, VU doesn't require add math, but their alvls requirement is higher. They said they'd give me 50% scholarship too and that if I had applied earlier I would've gotten 75%. T.T

I can transfer to Monash on the 2nd year, provided that Monash doesn't look back on my add math. The sunway counsellor told me to get a black and white letter from Monash stating such so I won't meet the same mishap again.

My question is, what is your advice for me? I can't apply for Nottingham anymore. How about Victoria and Lancaster univeristy? How do they fare? Are there other alternatives for me? I can't go too far because of my health. I feel its really unfair for me......What do you think I should do at this point? I really need some comfort right now D: Besides their reject letter just says that they've reviewed my transcripts and they rejected me. They make no mention of my appeal. My dad has lost all his good impression of Monash already even though he's form the uni. My cousin says the system sucks because she met a similar hiccup in her enrolmet process. They tend to tell you half and dont tell you the other half.

Please reply as soon as possible. Thanks.

The enrolment officers always seems to be problematic when dealing with queries from propective students. I have dealt with them and I always confirm again by calling over the phone and speaking to a different officer. You need this to reassure that what was told is correct.

Anyway, while waiting for your appeal, I reckon that you go to Sunway and make your enquires. Lancaster is also one of the better twinning universities around and if you are taking business/finance/accounting, Sunway's twinning programmes graduates are very well sought by prospective employers.

If you can see one of the top guys in person, put up a strong case with FACTS.

Watch what the top guy says. If words like, think about it, see lah, consider, refer to management, check further and wait, then you have a more than fair chance.

If he keeps saying sorry, cannot, no way, hands tied, then go for other choices or another university.

Most universities does changes in the first couple of weeks to accomodate lecturers/tutors due to unforseen clashes and more so if some of these lecturers/tutors are part-timers.

Heard that there are quite a number of good Indian (or lookalike) lecturers in Monash.

Are they locals or expats on contracts?
