You'll know where, when, and how long you'll have to do your pre-U course when you get the letter. It depends on the course and country you're going.

You can't choose the country you're going, unless the course that you applied has specific country, e.g. Korea Engineering, German Engineering etc... Otherwise, you can only accept or reject the given country. It's stated there changing country is NOT possible. Though there're cases where students got downgraded when they can't reach the cut-off points for certain countries.

And last year, the country you got is not stated in the website. It just stated that you got the scholarship, you'll have to wait till a few days later, when you receive your letter, only the country will be reveal. So, a small advice here, for those who applied for medicine but are not willing to go to Indonesia. Don't be overjoy when you know you get it, otherwise it might turn out to be the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment.....

oooh? means that we will get to know the country when we receive the letter, not at the end of our pre-U ??

the pre-u program varies according to the country u are assigned to.

say, for US, u will be doing ADFP.
for UK, u will be doing A-Level.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

But, that day, on the interview day, at the end of the interview, i asked the interviewer,

"When can we know the country we are going to?"

"You will only know after your kursus persediaan"

"You mean after 1 year kursus persediaan?"

"Yes," she said.

THAT WAS A LITTLE illogical. The pre-u program varies and she said, we will know only after our pre-u.

so dont tell me everyone is going to do the same pre-u program...

Yup, you'll do your pre-U according to your country. US may require ACTP, UK may be A-Level or IB, Australia needs AusMat etc...

i heard ppl say that if u get matriks then most likely u wont get JPA scholarship. my fren'd auntie called and asked the JPA ppl already...is it true? cause they say if matriks ppl get JPA then they will sure choose JPA over matriks then by that time matriks will be short of students....

[dnsz89]

thats irrelevant. i know lotsa people gettin into matrix n gettin out after gettin jpa or mara.
