JPA scholars: Mantoux test

[syamil_1]

Hi. course - engineering

1. I wonder how they select the student for certain pre-u course as for 2007, we didnt state which country we want to go.

Is it depending on our result? Like better students get to go to better country?

2. ADFP & AUSMAT - INTEC
AUSMAT - SUNWAY COLLEGE
A-LEVELS - TAYLORS ONLY

is it correct?

3. Do JPA decide which uni we can apply to once we finished the pre-u?

would appreciate all help. thanks in instance.

i applied for engineering too...
1. I wonder how they select the student for certain pre-u course as for 2007, we didnt state which country we want to go.

for engineering, JPA did let the applicants to choose the country, ie:Germany, France, Korea, Japan...
somehow, there are applicants who didn't specified their choice of country..then JPA will decide that...


3. Do JPA decide which uni we can apply to once we finished the pre-u?


it's depends on your result...but most of the JPA scholars who bound for Germany will complete their undergraduate course in Baden (for INTEC students only, not sure about KBU students)...yet there are still some exceptions..


hope this information could help you.. :D :wink:
pls correct me if i'm wrong...

2. ADFP & AUSMAT - INTEC

ADFP, AUSMAT, A-levels - INTEC

i think ICPU is at taylor's

[Jen_Twilightdream]

when i went 4 the edu fair in pg .. one of the booths offered us some info on JPA ( they over head us talking about JPA) .. this person who enlightened us has three children whom are already under JPA .. so he told us that we have to perform well in our a levels .. then they will let us choose which uni we would wanna enroll in .. in the countries that they have handpicked for us

Wow!Three children under jpa!So great..

[choogirl]

a-levels can use to apply jpa? new news to me.

anyway, my interviewer asked me what country I would like to further my studies in.

[syamil_1]

Thanks for all the infos.

But, a question left unanswered.

Does the selection based on our academic result or the country we preferred?

[syamil_1]

I know co-cu if another x-factor to secure a scholarship or even to gain admission to top universities.

1. Say, I finished my ADFP under JPA. When I apply to US uni, what about my co-cu? Which one is taken into account, my co-cu in highschool OR co-cu in Pre-u?

2. Is there even co-cu in Pre-u? in INTEC to be specific.

3. Is there any possibilities not to be accepted by any uni in UK after A-levels under JPA? If there is, what would happen?

If JPA to US, I know they will do ADTP.

Thanks in instance.

[Jen_Twilightdream]

no i meant perform well in a levels offered by jpa to us .. that is one of the criteria to be able to choose universities on our own accord in the country they offered .. itz not like when jpa scholarship is offered ... it's high time honeymoon .. we will have to do well in a levels too .. or any foundation studies they offer .. that'z what i was told by the ex principal and now spokesman for INTI college ..( father of three children that are under JPA scholarship)

[white2020]

....hihi..

may i know what all these stand for??


ADFP/AFDP/ADTP/ICPU


Thanks..

[evening_go_jogging]

ADTP stands for American Degree Transfer Programme
ADFP and AFDP are also related to America if i'm not wrong.
ICPU is foundation programme for Canada.
(correct me if i'm wrong)

Hi, I'm new here. I'm a art stream student (non-bumiputera) and I'm applying for Accounting course for JPA. I glanced through the forums and I was wondering, if anyone here is applying for art course like me? Do you guys have plenty of As?

Somehow I felt kinda depressed. I was just wondering, if anyone applying Accounting (or any art course) has results like 12As above? (because I only have 9A1, 2A2)

(Forgive me if I'm wrong) Most of the top scorers are Science stream students. I mean, according to the statistics, those who get many As (above 12As) are mostly from science streams. Is it? Does art stream students score more than 12As?

When I went for interview last month, I met many new friends there. Most of them applying for Medic, Bio-tech, vet-science, etc. Seems like most of the people applying for science course and wants to be shortlisted. I was curious, what about Accounting course? Is it a hot-cake like Medic?

Normally, do we need straight A1s to get shortlisted for Accounting, too? How many As does art stream student need (normally) to get shortlisted for art course? Does you guys (art stream students) score plenty of As like science stream students?

Anyone here knows anything about Accounting course for JPA?
(I'm sorry if I said anything offensive)

[syamil_1]

For Alevel in INTEC, it is for which country?

German only? for other country?

Congrats to all of you...do well in A-lev/IB....to those who get KYUEM, u will be damm lucky...hehe..u will know what i mean if u compared it with KMB or INTEC....I spent my 2 years there and i still miss it very much :D

[eggtart_90]

zell_ll,

wat's so special about KYUEM?if it is compared wit KMB or INtec?

[blabla]

zell_ll,

wat's so special about KYUEM?if it is compared wit KMB or INtec?

it is supposedly modeled after a british boarding school but having said that i have to emphasize the standards are nowhere close to one.Of course its better than KMB and intec but location wise it sucks big time being so secluded.basically KYUEM just lives on its reputation for taking in scholarship holders and boasting when these students perform well.I bet the same students will perform just as well regardless of where they are sent
however there also have many scholars whose performance are way below satisfactory in KYUEM.I suppose if u are looking for prestige and exclusiveness and quality( in Malaysia) KTJ, alice smith,uplands international and garden international all win hands down when compared to KYUEM
and of course, abroad u have the likes of top notch boarding school like eton,harrow,cheltenham and the king's school in sydney.These schools are in a league of their own.KYUEM standards are merely "scratching the surface" when compared to any boarding schools in the UK or even KTJ for that matter.

JPA scholars bound to go the UK.congrats!dont worry about where you will be send for your pre -u.Be grateful ,Make best use of the chance given to you and all the best!!!adios

[Tourist]

KYUEM. I had been to their website before and looking at their result, it had always strike me as "unusual" for a private A-Level college. Now I know......many are cream of the cream jpa holders. No wonder there are so many bumi names on the honor roll.

[Zephyr]

I got biotech uk, I thought we'll be studying A-levels in colleges, is it?

[honginn89]

can someone tell me wat is the difference between SAM and ausmat??
and which pre-u skul is the best in msia???

[sue89]

Anyone else here going for UK medicine? Seems like i'm the only one...

[studioworks]

uk is not in the list for JPA MEDIC....dunno

i m uk pharmacy

but i think the title should b UK/ireland since these two country is related

[sue89]

so how's college life? food? accomodation? single room(wouldn't that be COOL!!! 8) )

[starcatcher89]

i hope i'm not doing IB...i heard its tougher than a levels

[windhoe2]

i hope i'm not doing IB...i heard its tougher than a levelsif u cant afford the IB, how are u going to manage further studies

[windhoe2]

those in KYUEM have easier chances to get into UK universities, believe what I said, as I was not in KYUEM last time, not that easy

[starcatcher89]

i hope i'm not doing IB...i heard its tougher than a levelsif u cant afford the IB, how are u going to manage further studies

huh? am i suppose to pay for the kursus persediaan? I thought i read somewhere in the jpa website that they will be paying us until our final year in the uk.

i think windhoe2 means that if we cant catch up with studies for IB, so on and on....right? :wink:

[emzz]

Is it possible to get into UK universities with SAM? Im already halfway through it and if possible, would like to continue since it's already paid for and if i do, I'll finish pre-u by the end of the year.

[emzz]

I browsed through a few UK unis websites and it seems like they accept other countries' pre-uni programs.
But I guess JPA won't allow that. Darn, should have taken A Levels.

[zell_ll]

zell_ll,

wat's so special about KYUEM?if it is compared wit KMB or INtec?

Dear eggheart
our friend blablabla has raised some interesting points. We were based on a British boarding school model 'intially'. The current headmaster is far more lenient than the previous two headmasters, which is a good thing, and the only remnant is the half-day classes on Saturday. Since he's retiring at the end of this term, I'm not sure what the college's direction will be, but it don't think it'll turn to the worse.

Now, you ask about comparing it to KMB and Intec, so I guess you're comparing between scholarship colleges?

Well, firstly KMB. The main difference is that they do the IB - extremely challenging, more assignment based, with community service thrown in. Like KYUEM, it's also stuck in the middle of nowhere. Rooms are shared in KMB, whereas you get individual (though not necessarily private) rooms in KYUEM. Besides that, a standard KMB batch (400 students) is twice the number of KYUEM's (200 students). The relatively smaller number of students makes it easier to know each other better - good for networking, easier to make friends (since everyone knows each other)

Intec's set in the city. This also means that you won't be staying close (ie walking distance) from your academic area. You don't get any catered food, so you'll have to eat out or cook. It's a blessing if you live in Shah Alam or the area around it, since you can pratically live at home. Intec uses Edexcel as their examination board, which poses a problem since they don't take into consideration public holidays. Cambridge International Examinations (CIE, used by KYUEM, KTJ and Taylor's) bases its exam dates around the Singaporean public holidays, so there's no chance of a major public holiday clashing with an examination. Another thing of note: Intec serves students going to Germany, France, the US as well. As such, the student population is humungous - even worse than above, you probably won't get to know most of your batch.

As blablabla pointed out, we have a lot of scholarship holders, a lot of good performers - people who would do well wherever they would have gone to. But it's a matter of a meeting of minds - if you were given a choice between Oxford/Cambridge and a less renowned university, where would you expect to be stimulated intellectually and academically?

We've generally got a nice mix of scholars around: Mostly JPA and MARA (though I hear we're getting less), Petronas, Securities Commission, Khazanah, PNB, Bank Negara, Telekom Malaysia, TENAGA, FELDA, UEM, YT, MOE... and quite a few students on their own. Some in my batch have managed to secure scholarships after their A-levels, from Bank Negara and Sime Darby.

It's true that we do boast of our performance - as a small college, we have a lot of high achievers. Consider that 100 people out of 217 got 3 As or better in 2006 (http://kyuem.edu.my/images/Cambridge70906big.jpg) - you're looking at almost 50% of the college. 8 people in Oxbridge last year, and 11 potentials this year are roughly about the same amount that Taylor's or Sunway send to Oxbridge - except that Taylor's and Sunway have thousands of students studying A-levels at any one time, whereas KYUEM has less than 500 students.

KYUEM also gets a fair share of its students on the national and international rankings for CIE. We generally get a nice number of 'Best in Malaysia' awards, and one or two 'Best in World' awards. Yes, there are other colleges with students of similar caliber, like Taylor's, KDU and Garden. But in KYUEM, you get to know these top scholars personally, whereas in Taylor's or KDU a world level student will simply be one of the thousands in Taylor's whom you probably wouldn't know. I have no first hand knowledge of Garden, neither in its teaching facilities nor its student population. However, since KYUEM is a residential college, you get to know your fellow students better because the social circle is small enough to allow you to know most of them.

I agree that compare to places like the Alice Smith school, International School of Penang Uplands, and Garden International School are better in some ways compared to KYUEM. But they are international schools, not exactly open to the public, and eggheart's original question seemed to touch more on private colleges.

And of course you can compare KYUEM to top notch English boarding schools: Eton, Harrow, Cheltenham. Badminton School in Bristol, and Rugby School aren't bad either. Since we're in the context of sixth-form or pre-university colleges, why not add Cambridge Tutor's College, Concord College or Cheltenham Ladies College (Where Amalina of 17A1 fame is studying) just to name a few. But comparing the best of these schools to KYUEM isn't fair: these schools have had many years to establish their reputation. KYUEM has barely had a decade, and we've done quite well considering that. It's like comparing NUS (less than a hundred years of history) with Oxford (founded roughly 900 years ago) - one is obviously better than the other, but although the lesser one is younger, it's still very good.

And I take offense that KTJ would be rated better than KYUEM. On the same level, at least, but certainly not better. Both colleges are governed by CIE, which releases a list of high achievers at the end of every exam, where the names of students who received the best marks nationally and internationally. It may be of note that KYUEM usually gets several students listed, but KTJ makes no mention of them - perhaps for the lack of them?

Location wise, KTJ isn't set in the most convenient of locations either. I quote the website, 'Kolej Tuanku Ja?afar enjoys a marvellous expansive rural location in the state of Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. On a vast country estate surrounded by hills and forests...' (http://www.ktj.edu.my/about/2.asp). I'll be honest when saying that KYUEM enjoys more or less the same landscape.

I've been told that the food is better (salad bar), but you do pay more. Realise that KYUEM is arguably more exclusive: KTJ doubles as a secondary school. I'm sure mischievous form ones may be cute, but I'd prefer that a college be a proper college.

[capablanca]

If you are a excellent student, any pre-u will be the best school for you.

[sihan]

Hi. course - engineering

1. I wonder how they select the student for certain pre-u course as for 2007, we didnt state which country we want to go.

Is it depending on our result? Like better students get to go to better country?

2. ADFP & AUSMAT - INTEC
AUSMAT - SUNWAY COLLEGE
A-LEVELS - TAYLORS ONLY

is it correct?

3. Do JPA decide which uni we can apply to once we finished the pre-u?

would appreciate all help. thanks in instance.

OK, I think I better clarify this...

ALL ACTP,ADFP,AUSMAT,ALG,ALM,ALED are in INTEC. That's all.....

[Shyn]

how about korea?

[JuDy89]

i'll b goin to NZ.anyone have any idea which pre-u course i'll b studyin? ausmat o a lvl?cz the struktur pengajian said ausmat.n my frens say a lvl. :?

[dea_kirara]

hey everyone! i'm a newbie here.i got offered for medicine in ireland.huhu it's supposed to be similar wif uk aite?

[blabla]

dear Zell

I did mention cheltenham.and having said that cheltenham reffered to cheltenham ladies college.But again it not solely a sixth form school as i have a 13 year old cousin there currently.Maybe KYUEM is unique in the sense its not actually modeled after a british boarding school but its bragged to be modeled after one?I know that most british boarding schools cater to students 12 and above.


If its true that KYUEM is better than KTJ ,i wonder why most parents funding their children's education prefer to send them to KTJ instead of KYUEM?KTJ does have some top performers but you should take into consideration that they only have a handful of scholars who are sponsored by shell and petronas.The sixth form international schools in malaysia are open to public.Even the lower forms are now open.
about KYUEM students being recipients of many CIE awards,well,in the past students from taylor's ,KDU and even Kolej Teknologi Timur in Sepang have won these CIE awards.

CTC in london arranges homestays for their students.having said that its not a boarding school.Concord is not very famous either .If u mention CTC and concord to someone random in the UK ,it might not sound familliar.That's the reason why i did not mention them.But the other schools are definitely heard off worldwide.Again ,i admit its unfair to compare those top british boarding schools to KYUEm.Sorry about that.On the other hand i do not see KYUEM being "up there" lets say even 100 years from now.KTJ has gained quite a reputation in the region and they have quite a few international students as well.

another point i will like to bring out.KYUEM seems to act like an elitist college(WHen its actually NOT)Other top colleges like KTJ ,alice smith ,uplands,ISKL etc offer sixth form scholarships to deserving Malaysian students who cant afford to fork out so much for tuition.The same applies to other top boarding schools abroad.What has KYUEM done for such people?If not for the scholars being sent to KYUEM,i bet it would have been shut down a long time ago!

Also, im not a ex KTJ student to be advocating the fact that education in KTJ is better than in KYUEM.Again this is just my opinion.Im sure you and perhaps some other KYUEM students beg to differ.

[pinkteen89]

Hi white_black..
I am in art stream too and I got 9A's
Well..I didn;t apply for JPA scholars..
But I did apply other scholars..
And I must say, Accountancy is not a hot cake compare to science subjects..Most of the ppl I met were in science stream..
Not sure why not lots of ppl applying 4 accountancy..But its a good chance for u to get the scholars since you get excellent results..It helps much more when you get A in admate n accountancy..
By the way, most of my fren (art stream) are going to matrics..

Sory can't help much..
Good Luck! ;)

[white_black]

Yea..Accountancy is really a hot cake..
Even science stream students applying for it..
Thanxx!! All the best to u too..

I never heard of UK medic....and Uk medic is not even listed in JPA website....something amiss...

I think ALL ireland medic and uk pharmacy will be sent to Intec since it can accomodate. Starting from 2007, there is no more SIT twinning programme...So, i think Intec should be able to accomodate more...

IB for JPA, very unlikely..... They prefer easier option(Edexcel)...because more ppl will pass....

[eggtart_90]

sihan,

u mean now jpa does not sent their students 4 uk medic anymore?
cz of the high currency exchange???money factor???
bsides,no more IB??? :wink:

*sad,quality should b the main criteria 4 medicine...not QUANTITY...

[siewleng89]

i juz found out this somewhere... :D

[duke23]

Only extremely outstanding non-bumi students were offered UK medic.It was not in the JPA list but some of them did get it..i think there are less than 5 of them in the whole country who got UK medic..maybe 1 or 2 or 3..but i definitely know 1 of them.He used to play tennis with one of my cousins at the KLGCC or somewhere like that..Played for the country in many international tournaments.. PTS student who is in the top 100. i heard only top 20 SPM candidates considered for UK scholarship?esp for medic..its really coveted.They are not going to give UK medic to simply any tom dick and harry with straight a1's( and some of them do get straight a1's by fluke) like before..It's only for the cream of the cream and i believe since it is really so hard those who got it are truly deserving.

Wanna ask, the one that u know is it from kedah? i know a friend who got UK medic who was a tennis player [and had represented our country before] and he's in top 100 as well.

Only top 20 considered for UK? i get for UK, but dont think i'm in top 100.....maybe some quite major achievements in my co-curricular activites did helped me for this.

AND there's no dress code, since its a INTERNATIONAL college. they can't force the orang putih to wear baju kurung all day, rite? haha.
in the KBU booklet, they said the AUSMAT only takes 10months but on the letter, it says 18months... so which is it?? *confused*

bt da elaun sara hidup 4 kursus persediaan in local is a lil 2 low la....

for local, actually it's the same for everyone.. rm350 each month. I x sure whether it's including accommodation a not.. well, rm350 is definitely not enough for me to EAT !! Living cost in KL is so high, rm350 per month?? Dunno how the jpa ppl count the living cost..

for those who'r goin college in the city, like kbu(cheras), traylors(subang), i think their living cost r the highest.. mayb INTEC is cheaper. whuahahaha. :twisted: :twisted:

[yhc]

heyz, i've received the letter. but err...i reckon they missed out smthing....i didn't get my lanmpiran a1 and a2...so, what m i supposed to do? call them?

..but i thought the lampiran A1 and lampiran A2 is printed in the yellow book. [syarat-syarat tawaran biasiswa persekutuan jabatan perkhidmatan awam], page 12 and 13...

[maxx]

Undoubtedly... German's living cost is higher if compared with other Europe countries... RM350 / month... i think it is enough if u know how to use ur money wisely .. (errr... but for me...........)

does INTEC hostels have free/paid broadband system??

Seems the JPA medic scholars havn't received their offer letter.. (all my frens)

KMB...anyone?

Hi Sue89, I got KMB too. Was a bit shaken when I opened my letter and saw that. I was all prepared to do A-levels. Sigh. I heard IB is a lot more difficult?! Also, KMB seems very strict about dressing and stuff like that. And the ratio of malays to other races seems really high :?
Anyway, do you have msn? Maybe we get get to know each other a bit.

i was required to pay for the medical checkup, rm 150 though i showed them my jpa offer letter n my dad's gov employee's surat akuan. i tot the son/daughter of a gov employee could hav free/discount service but for this medical checkup thingy, nope, u hav to pay them full oso.

the hospital is full, i don't know how long i hav to wait for my turn to do the medical checkup.
i was oso told tat i hav to wait for 2 weeks for the medical report..

the blood test was.. um... very fascinating. it's really interesting to see ur blood get sucked out of u. the nurse pulled out enuff blood from me to fill up 2 containers! ouch.! plus i got both hands injected, cuz the nurse made a mistake on my rite arm and din get enuf blood.. double ouch.

LOL, ur first medical check up is it?? ahah, for the blood test, the nurse couldn't pull out any droplet of blood from me for 5 minutes, triple "ish" she made, ahahha, finally...aaah. ..relief, looking at the dark-coloured liquid got sucked out..ahaah

anyway, all jpa scholars get to do it for free?? so nice,.. i got to pay RM 155 for it.

[velvetteen]

hey,

actually,all ppl that i knew got uk med(and believe me,there'r more than 5!)
are in spm's top 100 or if they're not there,its either bcoz of their vry impressive co achievmnts(international n national lvls lah) or they r vry good in the interviews+quite xcellent results(wat i mean is that they got 1 or 2 2A's in non-crucial subjs+ lots of 1 A's like 13 n above).

i also found out that those who got uk got 1A in their GCE O as well!btw,If they dont get 1A in GCE O but got a hell lot of 1A's like 14 and even 11,they got med ireland JPA(pre u at kmb also) instead.(hehe correct me if i'm wrong here!)



deserving eh?tx duke23 :)
im also going to uk(prefer Ireland though,don ask me y!)med under jpa!foundation at kmb.(prefer somewre else also) heh :lol:

[annwhat]

u must be joking about prefering ireland...may i ask why?

ireland is only for those who get rejected by all UK uni;'s( In those days where jpa gave students the option of choosing uk/ireland).

its a breeze to get a place in irish uni's FOR MED..i wouldnt say the same for UK uni's.

probably duke 23 is refering to non-bumi's less than 5?

are u in the top 100?

what's ur results like? bumi/non bumi?

anyway..u probably deserve it.THe selected FEW!!

[capablanca]

Reading all your post has made me squirmish. Yuck, I hate this type of medical checkup.

some points are correct, but it doesnt sound nice to those students currently studying in Ireland.

there are 25 Med schools in Uk, 5 in Ireland. Not all that 25 med schools are better than of Ireland's counterpart.

Why it is easier to get entry into Ireland's university, because half of the class are allocated to international students while in each Uk university, only 15-25 places.

The number of places, not the quality makes the difference.

Hehe, i think some gov hospitals need us to pay and some no need.
Can I know which hospital you went for your check up?
Thanks.

[duke23]

it may be a bitter pill to swallow but that is a fact that ireland is definitely wAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYy easier than getting into UK (regardless of the UNI)..at least i know the admission process for UK uni's are more stringent.Even the so called "insurance" UK uni's are much harder to get in compared to ireland.The interview is tough.Even if u get 1 offer you are considered v lucky..Some 4a's student do get rejected from not so high ranked UK uni's.In ireland..if u get aab u are assured of a place.bbb/bbc still possible to get in but u have to do an extra year.yeah i believe the quota for international students is v high in ireland too..i've heard malaysians make up 40% of the population in certain med schools??that is a bit too much in my opinion.Beats the purpose of going abroad.

for those of you who didnt have an option between ireland/uk..no offence..dont take this so seriously

most of the Uk conditional offers are AAB too, the most uphill task regarding Uk is getting a place among the limited availabilty quota for overseas students.

Admitting into university is just the first step. Below-averaged students are still not able to pass the coming years.

[duke23]

sorry i meant ABb for irish uni's?anyway i rest my case.Its no point arguing on which is better .it is Crystal Clear.but i suppose some people rather live in oblivion and yet again its a matter of personal choice.If irish med schools are so good and impressive then why do british students who dont have offers from UK uni's and have at least aab go to Prague instead of the neighbouring ireland to pursue their med studies?dont tell me its the cost.As it costs the almost same for a british citizen to study in prague and ireland

[Patrick]

zell_ll,

wat's so special about KYUEM?if it is compared wit KMB or INtec?

Now, you ask about comparing it to KMB and Intec, so I guess you're comparing between scholarship colleges?

Well, firstly KMB. The main difference is that they do the IB - extremely challenging, more assignment based, with community service thrown in. Like KYUEM, it's also stuck in the middle of nowhere. Rooms are shared in KMB, whereas you get individual (though not necessarily private) rooms in KYUEM. Besides that, a standard KMB batch (400 students) is twice the number of KYUEM's (200 students). The relatively smaller number of students makes it easier to know each other better - good for networking, easier to make friends (since everyone knows each other)
As blablabla pointed out, we have a lot of scholarship holders, a lot of good performers - people who would do well wherever they would have gone to. But it's a matter of a meeting of minds - if you were given a choice between Oxford/Cambridge and a less renowned university, where would you expect to be stimulated intellectually and academically?

We've generally got a nice mix of scholars around: Mostly JPA and MARA (though I hear we're getting less), Petronas, Securities Commission, Khazanah, PNB, Bank Negara, Telekom Malaysia, TENAGA, FELDA, UEM, YT, MOE... and quite a few students on their own. Some in my batch have managed to secure scholarships after their A-levels, from Bank Negara and Sime Darby.

It's true that we do boast of our performance - as a small college, we have a lot of high achievers. Consider that 100 people out of 217 got 3 As or better in 2006 (http://kyuem.edu.my/images/Cambridge70906big.jpg) - you're looking at almost 50% of the college. 8 people in Oxbridge last year, and 11 potentials this year are roughly about the same amount that Taylor's or Sunway send to Oxbridge - except that Taylor's and Sunway have thousands of students studying A-levels at any one time, whereas KYUEM has less than 500 students.

KYUEM also gets a fair share of its students on the national and international rankings for CIE. We generally get a nice number of 'Best in Malaysia' awards, and one or two 'Best in World' awards. Yes, there are other colleges with students of similar caliber, like Taylor's, KDU and Garden. But in KYUEM, you get to know these top scholars personally, whereas in Taylor's or KDU a world level student will simply be one of the thousands in Taylor's whom you probably wouldn't know. I have no first hand knowledge of Garden, neither in its teaching facilities nor its student population. However, since KYUEM is a residential college, you get to know your fellow students better because the social circle is small enough to allow you to know most of them.

And I take offense that KTJ would be rated better than KYUEM. On the same level, at least, but certainly not better. Both colleges are governed by CIE, which releases a list of high achievers at the end of every exam, where the names of students who received the best marks nationally and internationally. It may be of note that KYUEM usually gets several students listed, but KTJ makes no mention of them - perhaps for the lack of them?

I've been told that the food is better (salad bar), but you do pay more. Realise that KYUEM is arguably more exclusive: KTJ doubles as a secondary school. I'm sure mischievous form ones may be cute, but I'd prefer that a college be a proper college.

Here are some facts about KMB:
1. It is the BEST IB school in the world. (Best defined as outstanding academic achievements)
2. About that standard 400 in a batch, I pretty much agree. I end up meeting people I don't know throughout the year!

And here are some of my questions:
1. When you talk about more straight A students, is it that they've been really smart or is this grade inflation? In the IB...finding someone with 45 out of 45 points is like hunting for a golden goose. I think only one got it last year in Malaysia.
2. And when you say that there are 11 potential Oxbridge students from KYUEM this year, how many actually APPLIED for Oxbridge for Sept 2007 entry? That statistic would greatly help.

evidently,getting into uk uni is harder than ireland 4 medic.
It's not juz d interviews which i heard were vry tough,there'r also the UCAS etc.
n i'm not joking bout preferring Ireland though i'll choose not to say why(n not bcoz it's easier to get into).

As 4 my results,i've posted it in a related thread.

it is cystal clear that its easier to get a place in Irish University because the point of existance of international students as to sponsor EU students in Ireland. So it is still hard for EU students to study in Ireland, but there are some. You have made a generalisation regarding Prague. Oblivion is reserved for.

It didnt make sense to compare which Universities are better, difficulty to get enrolled doesnt equal to the quality given by some universities.( For sure,imperial, ucl, cambrige, oxford, manchester,cardiff, new castle and Edinburgh are among the best)

Same UCAS system makes the same hurdle to all universities for medical course.

HAHA!! 5 minutes?! tat's scary!
ya! ya! ya! i can SO imagine the nurse going "ish" cuz she did the same to me. for my first hand (my right hand)she stuck in the needle and all she pulled out was air. it totally freaked me out! it freaked the nurse out as well, it seems.ahaha! then she started commenting on how small and tiny my veins r, and tat she actually missed the vein. and she asked whether i could give her my other hand, and of course i said yes. not much of a choice, huh? and i was thinking tat she'd better do it right this time, cuz there wasn't anywhere else to cucuk. haha.
i duno why i found it so hilarious, but the moment i closed the door behind me, i laughed out loud! with my head tilted back and everyting. i think the whole hospital must have heard me. every1 waiting outside (u noe.... gov hospitals have lots, and lots and lots of ppl waiting outside the rooms..) whipped their heads around and looked at me like a total idiot (which was how i was behaving at the time, but still...) ahaha.. i was an experience for me! i quite enjoyed it, in fact!!

[livern]

Reading all your post has made me squirmish. Yuck, I hate this type of medical checkup.
all the best, then! gambatte!! hahaha! but it's quite interesting and a new experience for me. haha. squating at the toilet hoping to be able to catch all my "excretions" in a teeny-weeny bottle was the dumbest and funniest and weirdest thing i've done in a long, long,long time! hm.. in my life, actually. hahah!

oh! i did it in a government hospital, of course. Hospital Besar Teluk Intan, well, that's where i come from. going to gov hospital has it's pros and cons also... like, for gov hospital, u gota wait for 2 weeks to get the results! it's faster if u do it in a private hospital, but u pay (a lot)for the convinience.


Hehe, i think some gov hospitals need us to pay and some no need.

yes, 5 minutes and within that time, i was praying hard, hey, come on , get out [talking to my body-blood] lol, the nurse was kinda lost her patience, made me more scared, kept telling me to genggam kuat-kuat, kuat lagi, kuat lagi :wink: :roll: ,..then my heartbeat stopped when i was looking at my blood got sucked out more n more....finally, reached the line, pheew, ahha [that memory is still so fresh in mind, just like it happened minutes ago]

well, it was definitely an unforgettable experience..my FIRST medical check-up.. aahahha

It's pointless to debate on which is the BEST university. All universities have their strengths and weaknesses. You can't just rely on rankings alone, but you will have to listen to your seniors' feedback as well.

I agree with windhoe that difficulty to get in doesn't mean BEST. Renowned universities like Oxbridge are long established and are able to admit some of the best students out there - that's why they remain amongst the best universities.

It all boils down to the individual. If you're good, most probably 'hard to get' universities would want you. But, if they reject you, just assume that it's their loss and you can still be excellent in your field in another university.

But if you're looking at difficulty to get in, it is highly probable that UK universities are much harder to crack (For medicine, law, veterinary science only.....and a little architecture and economics)

windhoe..u are indeed v defensive of your institution of higher learning.U seem to take this v personally.Where are u studying?RCSI?isnt the fees steep cos its a private institution whereas trinity and the rest are not AS expensive?I mean..honestly speaking..my parents who are both educated in the UK are v pro UK so they are putting a lot of pressure on me to get into med school in the UK and my dad has said that ireland is not an option for me.Othewise he's going to send me to IMU and twin to UK Or australia from there..probably my dad has influenced my mindset..my dad is somehow quite anti -ireland.He looks down on irish graduates.i apologize for what i've said.Did u apply through UCAS last time?

Yup, It's ok. I study in trinity college dublin. Last time, I did apply for UCAS but due to total failure in my personal statement, I cant manage to study in UK. Therefore, I am quite "experienced" in this applying thingy.

Result is not the main criteria they are looking for (because when applying UCAS, they see your college forecast result which will make everyone straight As), they look for all-rounded students. My main advice is to keep the personal statement lively and simple and concise.

Ireland has this "bad" reputation because RCSI is a private college, they are here to earn money, so they are able to admit almost 100% international students there and even BBC results students. IMU is no far-fetch to be similar as RCSI, as long as you have money, you can get enrolled, but there is no guarantee to pass.

wondering y so less ppl get dis year instead last year got alot success in appealing

[sAmurAi-X]

I didn't get as well....i'm going to Curtin Sarawak..anyone going there too??


p/s: can we appeal for second time...huhu???? any ideas???

[sAmurAi-X]

C'mon my fellow friends..don't give up that easily (although i'm disappointing too)..let's start life anew and make sure that you work 200% harder from now onwards....failure to secure the scholarship certainly is not the the end of your world..yet i'm pretty much sure there are better options await you outside..let's us work hard together..hope to meet you guys in Curtin later....gambateh!!!

p/s: anyway, those who are not affordable in the financial wise (like me) especially medic students still can study overseas by applying the JPA's overseas loan....hehe..

[rashaad]

i didnt get jpa also. celest, i got nottingham also. what course r u taking? i got foundation in business n management

Well..wasn't expecting much though..no choice now, but to strive for the best in form 6 and prove that jpa made the biggest mistake of their life..haha..i know i'm exaggerating but for the sake of self-console, who cares? :x

p/s: have you tried to call up MCA regarding your case??

[-celest-]

your family income more than 5K per month?? no offence...
not twinning...one year foundation in curtin..then four year degree in Perth, Australia...I'm going to pursue environmental engineering..

[chenchow]

Congrats to all of you who managed to get the scholarships after appeal~!

For those of you who didn't get, do try to appeal. There is always possibility of getting into 3rd intake, although I have to say that the number of vacancies would depend on those who reject after getting the 2nd intake. No harm trying, although I have to say that it is hard. Every year, a few students would get it.

Do try to bring up the case if you have strong case. If you never try appeal again, you would not get it.

And JPA is definitely not the only source of ways to further studies. For instance, those who want to further studies in US, could definitely try to get into those need blind US universities. Once you get in, you get full funding. The tough part is getting in.

Oh i see..4 years in Curtin,Perth on your own expenses? Wow..that would be alot..or you've secured another scholarship?
Yeah..my family income is higher than 5k but less than 10k..the worst is this..somewhere in the middle..wanna say rich not rich, say poor not poor..that's why 'sui' already.. :(

Definitely true!! Once again congrats to all of the successful appeal applicants. A bright future awaits you. Those who did nt succeed in appealing could try again. I heard there will be a second and third batch from my seniors. If you still can't get in.. do try for the local scholarships. JPA is giving out approx 8000 of them.

congratulation!
mind tell wat's ur result?

[evan89]

Is it possible 2 appeal for 2nd time?

[chenchow]

Is it possible 2 appeal for 2nd time?

Do give it a good try.

While there are not many places available for 3rd intake (i.e. after 2nd appeal), there is no harm trying. The number of places would depend on how many people reject the scholarships. You would need to really highlight yourself and also be prepared to take scholarships for those not-so-popular countries.

Good Luck!

[Excal]

Congrats :) to those successful appeals. And to those who failed to get it like myself, deepest "condolences". :cry:

[ericjoe]

how 2 appeal? write letter? or other methods? and whom should we write our letters 2 ? can u all give their name, position and full address of JPA officers? and should we send again all our documents???

[evan89]

y so less ppl success appealing for jpa dis year
insted last year alot ppl get after appeal...
its weird

[syamil_1]

y so less ppl success appealing for jpa dis year
insted last year alot ppl get after appeal...
its weird

i think because JPA checked with Petronas this yr.

fyi, Petronas gave out 250 overseas scholarship and 400 local ones. So, imagine....
