Life Into University - A New Chapter


          




08 September 2017 marks a remarkable day for the hiker man - me !!! Today is my first day of being a UKM student. For your information, UKM stands for Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, another outstanding Malaysia public university.

First of all, let me introduce on the course I get offered with. The course I got is Doctor of Medicine UKM UNPAD Twinning Programme. It's a 3 years at UNPAD - Universitas Padjadjaran (a public university in Bandung, Indonesia) for pre-clinical years and another 3 years back to HUKM- Hospital Universiti Kebangsan Malaysia for clinical years. I'm considered lucky enough to get this course as I was rejected for all of my universities applications on the course of medicine. Fortunately, a friend notified me! A special thanks to Gan Wei Chee. I'll tell now about my UPU application on my future blog post.

Without further adieu, let me show you what my friends and I did today!

You? U? UPU!!! (A Special Guide In Applying Medicine through UPU system) Part 1

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...

Give up or Not To Give Up?

31 July 2018 was the date when UPU result was released. Some were happy some were sad and disappointed like me, last year. So as one who have had experienced the disappointment and pain like you guys, I would like to share some tips in what to do next. My situation: I was offered into UPM Applied Chemistry but I wanted medicine. For your information, I only get UPM medicine interview. So when the day UPU result was released, I was disappointed. But don't be discouraged, there's always a way. Don't give up if it's really your course.  What you can do: 1. Give up 2. Not giving up If you chose give up: Just prepare yourself mentally and physically to enter university  ~ 😂 If you choose to not give up: 1. Appeal - *Prepare a letter to university to mention that you want to enter XX university XX course and state the reason(s) you want to enter the uni. - *Prepare a letter which is written by someone such as your lecturers or teacher as the recommenda...
