Pre-U, WHERE To Go?!!?

After SPM, what's next? For me, I would suggest you for a break of course!!! (If you can afford it) Try traveling with friends around the country like Penang etc. I think this could be a way of rewarding yourself for such a "hardworking" you for the past 1 month. Furthermore, it will really be your last fellowship with your gang as you will meet each other lesser and lesser as the time goes by. You may also go for some beneficial camps to motivate or to learn something new, touching up some old/new soft skills maybe?

 Breaking for awhile doesn't mean a long life stop. After your relaxation, I guess it's time to think about your future. So having any idea on your future career? Nope? Well, honestly, you still have time, but if you have set it, it will probably make the road clearer. Id you don't, take your time. Here are some suggestions from me.

If you planned to study overseas (not advisable for those who wanted to be doctor), you may try A levels or Form 6. Both certs are usable out of the country, including Singapore. If you didn't plan to, you can try foundation studies.

For me, I would choose Matriculation. Matriculation is a programme set mainly for bumiputras, but there are some quotas that non-bumiputras to enter. (I get offered here) Matriculation is a 1 year programme (for non-bumiputras) while 1 or 2 years programme for bumiputras. Entering Matriculation makes you easier to enter local public universities. Why? You'll get CGPA 4.0 easily (as long as you work hard, revising, finishing all tutorials) and by comparing to Form 6, you get Co-Curriculum marks very easily. Joining activities or competitions within the college(mini-KAKOM and others) is counted as state level while for inter-college sports competition(KAKOM), you are getting national marks! I believe you know this difference between Form 6, and Form 6 students always envy on us Matriculation students.

For Form 6, it takes you 2 years period to complete your Pre-U. For Matriculation, the government is sponsoring you about rm250 per month (I'm not sure about the latest one) and the fees to study is very cheap too. Hence, this advantage has make me choose Matriculation rather than foundation studies in private institutions. I realized that you can try to apply foundation studies on local public universities such as UM, UKM and UPM. They do offer you foundation studies, but it would also be competitive to enter it.

To enter Matriculation, you need to buy a pin code from BSN which costs you around RM6+/- and you need to register yourself in the Matriculation website. Furthermore, do remember to buy pin code for UPU, a system used to apply for local public universities.

 If you get Matriculation, congrats to you! You are really lucky enough; if you don't, try to appeal for it! There are still chances! Reminder for you guys, the cert for Matriculation can only be used within local public universities and MOST of the public institutions.

So, which path did I went to? Matriculation. I have no regrets in entering it as a Chinese guy from a Chinese school started to expose myself to other races, it's really a good experience. Besides that, I have higher hope in entering a local public university to pursue my studies in medicine. If you get medicine in local public universities, you will save your parents a lot of money! That's why everyone wanted to enter it!

This is my suggestion on where to go after SPM. Feel free to comment if you have any questions. I'm sorry that I'm not familiar with diploma, and hence can't give you informations about it.

Thanks! See you again!

ARGGG!!! How should I arrange my UPU list ! !! The due date is going to come soon. I hope you've read my previous blog posts and realised that I wanted to be a doctor. Hence, I would try my best to put in an application guild for UPU application especially for those who wanted to be a doctor in Malaysia. First of all, I'll show you how did I fill my UPU online application. U PU application course arrangement list. Please focus on choices 1-4 as the choices 5-12 has been changed when submitted. Let me tell you some basics and updates about the latest UPU application (based on year 2017). Starting year of 2017, registration for both Universiti Malaya (UM) and Universiti Sains Malaysia  (USM) courses can be applied through UPU. It means you don't need to visit respective website of UM and USM to apply for their offered courses and you can save some money in buying a code for application as you just need to buy once for UPU. This breaking news seems good right? To me...

You? U? UPU!!! (A Special Guide In Applying Medicine through UPU system) Part 2

After you have submitted your UPU application aroun d May, you will be having around 2 months to relax or you take that time for your preparation for medical interview. So, what whi ch university int erview calling did I get at the end? Unfortunately, I just got UPM interview calling and was rejected by the other 3 universities. UM rejected me because of my poor Section C result for BMAT(I got email reply from UM) but for USM and UMS I have no solid evidence for my failure of application. So I asked lots of my Matriculation friends who applied medicine and which interview did they get and I formulated a suggestion list in how to order your UPU application for cho ices 1-4: UM - accepts if you put it in choice 1 only USM - accepts if you put it in choices 1 & 2 UPM -  accepts if you put it in choices 1 & 2 UKM -  accepts if you put it in choices 1, 2 & 3 UMS -  accepts if you put it in choices 1, 2 & 3 (definitely not 4) UNIMAS -  accepts...

Medical Interview Tips !!!

Matriculation and STPM students just got their result not long ago. So, how was it? I hope you get what you really wanted and that result is qualified for you to pursue your desired course. Well, in this blog, I'm going to share about some medical interview tips. The proverbs said: " Don't cross the bridge until you've come to it. " Do you really agree that? Do you want to prepare for your interview the very last minute and burn the midnight oil nights before the actual date of interview? If I were you, I won't. I'll try to read as much articles and recent news as I could. In year 2017, I just got one interview from UPM out of 4 others medical schools which are UM, UPM, UMS, USM. Well, maybe I'm just not that lucky? Haha. Well, let me give you some tips on medical interviews. In recent years, most of the local medical schools are changing their interview style from panel interview to station interview, which is similar to the medical school ex...
