IMU Application

[lucasscott]

I'm applying to IMU this year. What are the general A Lvl/STPM and SPM grades of students accepted into IMU?

Can anyone give me a rough idea how the interview is going to be?

[sue89]

Hi. I was just wondering if IMU gives preference to a level students compared to STPM students. Is this true? Also, is it possible to enter IMU with 4As in STPM?

[cutie87]

Anyone here has the idea the topics that they used to ask during the interview? Some tips pls as I intend to apply.

Certainly... STPM are accepted into IMU..
Since you has 4 As.. Why don't you take up their MBBS scholarships ?

Well, I'm actually a SPM leaver trying to choose between a levels or stpm...let's say an a level student with 3As n 1B n a STPM student with also 3As n 1B apply for IMU. If there's only 1 seat left, who will get it?

Frankly I don't know... So far, no one in this world would dare to clarify which of the two is more superior..

However, private company are known to prefer STPM students cause they feel tat it's touger..

anyway, just leave that a side... preference is nothing important here... jus bear in mind which exam you are more confident in and hit on to tat road and never look back !!

[leonheart_89]

as far as I am concerned, Cambridge A levels is more recognised by IMU because the entry requirements is lower for A levels compare to STPM... for London A levels, the forecast results is not accepted...

[leonheart_89]

I am a SPM students aiming to do my medical education in IMU. I would like to know how much is the cost involved for IMU-PMS (AUS) medical degree? including the tuition fees, living expenses and also the miscellous fees of the uni..
how much difference is the cost for studying differs from places? for eg. Melbourne and WA...

[sue89]

What about stpm? Will the trial results be recognised?

[leonheart_89]

if I am not mistaken, STPM trial results is accepted since there are some STPM students join the Feb intake...

yes stpm trial results are accepted definitely. once the actual result comes out, you can continue on with your studies here in IMU if your actual results meet their requirements. but if your results is actually lower than their requirements, then you would have no other choice but to stop your studies in IMU.

btw, i'm currently a first sem IMU student. so feel free to ask me anything to do with IMU. would try my best to clarify them.

cheers!!

hi niknasir,
well, to be franky i dont really understand what do u mean by "as a u stand that an IMU - MBBS local has to sit for MUET as well as IMU PMS".

but i suppose u're concerned bout the english placement test that is goin to be taken by all. well, all students irrespective of IMU-PMS or IMU-MBBS would have to take an english placement test during the first or the second week after registration. the test would determine whether u need to take english classes or not during your semester 1.

hope it helps. feel free to PM me if u need more info or u need my contact no.

hope to see u in IMU!!!!

well, what i can say is that the chances of getting to your preferred uni would be quite high i'd say (ie aussie unis), as far as i know of for the current senior batch (sem 5) who are flying now, only about 10 of them of the whole batch of 150 who didnt get their first 5 choice.. other than that everyone basically get to either of the 5 top university that they have chosen.

hi there, well, i am currently a 2nd year student in IMU now, though i am in IMU now, i wouldnt really say IMU is definitely better than PMC, because i'm sure those in PMC would say thiers would be better!! haha.. IMHO, i don't think we can really compare which uni is better. both unis do have their own pros n cons, so there isnt really a better uni. if u really want to make a comparison, i would suggest that you compare both uni's on certain aspects n decide which is better for you. fyi, there's an open day in IMU on the 24th Feb in Bukit Jalil, why dont you come over and have a look for yourself?? btw, i'll b in IMU if u really want to talk to those who are already studying there...

[jayoli]

im not sure if i can make it but i'll try. i heard studying in IMU is stressful.. is it true? one of my friends studied halfway and ended up in engineering. he juz sort of give up after half a yr in IMU

okay, studying in IMU is stressful?? of course its stressful, i wonder in which medical school studying is not stressful?? haha.. its about yourself when come to stress, some who can cope with the studies wouldnt feel pressured while those who can't will suffer the consequences. well, yeah, some of them did stopped halfway. but this doesnt mean IMU is that tough. i'm sure some of them in other unis do have such similar cases. sometimes, when u really study medicine, u would find out that this isnt a field of your taste and your stop and pursue other interest. while some who are under so much stress that in the end, they stop.

countries offered by JPA? do u mean the twinning universities with IMU? well, the countries are UK, US, Aus, NZ, Ireland and Canada. what i can say is that the chances of getting to UK depends on yourself. if you can be among the best in our batch, of course u stand a chance to go to UK. so its all about u.

best? all of them are good universities. i dont really think there's one all best uni in a sense. because in twinning universities, you will be doing your clinical years rather than your theoritical years. so there's no really the best uni as far as i can say. but though i'm not trying to belittle you or anything as of similar, but your chances of goin to UK is very much dependent on JPA as well. even you might be the best student in IMU, JPA still determines where u are heading to. just to let you know ahead of things. and med school aint that easy as it seems. from my first hand experience. yes, i am a JPA scholar. took my SPM in 2004.

[jayoli]

there's no theoritical yrs in twinning unis? from wad u said it seems that being a medical student is not an easy task but can you shed some light abt the difficulties u mean? in terms of academic o ur daily life? thanks jingguo

yes, theoritical years are in IMU Bukit Jalil, where as your clinical years would be in IMU Seremban or overseas partner medical school. bout life as a med student? erm.. studies.. as in the amount u need to learn in such a short time. and of course PBLs and other clinical/lab sessions.. for more info on life as medical student, refer to this thread, basically everyone faces bout the same things..
