Asasi Di Usm
The idea of writing about my medical school selection interiew experience probably originated from the fact that I myself had referred to countless blogs for my previous interview preparation, thus feeling obligated to share my experience as well. May was a busy month due to interviews and I keep my fingers crossed for the results in August. I took SPM in 2013 and was enrolled in the Malaysian Matriculation programme under the Ministry of Education in May 2014. Seeing my friends embarked on other paths after SPM, opting to go either overseas or private local universities, I spent months dwelling in the dilemma of deciding between Malaysian Matriculation aka KPM Matrikulasi or Cambridge A level. At last I had chosen the former and have not regretted the decision, even a little. Another conflict was whether to pursue medicine with the current glut of fresh medical graduates in Malaysia, being aware of the cruel reality that there are yet many batches of graduate from both public and private universities before me. If you intend to pursue medicine, my humble opinion is to ponder over the reason you chose so as this will become your motivation for years to come.
Kak Sha, alhamdulillah saya dapat tawaran untuk asasi sains fizikal di um tpi saya nak asasi sains hayat. Saya ada peluang tak nak tukar course nanti? May 16, 2011 - Nur Anisza March 10, 2015 at 10:39 PM. Salam sis Mieza,i pelajar lepasan SPM2014,thank you for sharing,laman akak yg ni bnyak membantu saya.Sis,selain asasi tesl di uitm,adakah usm juga menawarkan asasi tesl di usm sendiri? Kalau ada mcm mana i nak apply eh? Thank you #mohon pencerahan. Dec 8, 2011 - Sebelum dapat ambil kos ni, aku masuk Matrik UIA (sekarang dah panggil Pusat Asasi) ambil jurusan Senibina atau Architecture. Masa di matrik kami belajar perkara-perkara asas untuk design seperti sketches, drawing manually (melukis secara manual), modelling (buat model pakai *gam panas* yang.
Somehow it is heartwrenching when I was told by some that they merely like the perception of ‘being superior and intelligent’ that is often associated to being a doctor. Some even picture themselves sitting comfortably in a clinic prescribing medicines to patients after graduation. Matrikulasi ended officially on 28th April 2015 nationwide.
That marked the beginning of a series of interviews for university offers. Applicants should check out on the entry requirements before applying to all universities on their websites or your application will automatically be rejected if below entrance requirements. Bear in mind that your examination grades, MUET band and koku marks do count. USM PPSP Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) has a different application system for its programmes.
The School of Health Sciences is situated in Kubang Kerian, Kelantan. Medical, dentistry and other students in health science courses will complete their undergraduate degree here.
The teaching hospital is Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia that is within the campus and another hospital outside USM. Some chose not to apply to USM due to its location. Think about it yourself if this is a wise act to do. Applicants can fill up to eight choices in their applications. My first and only choice is Doktor Perubatan. Do your homework on USM APEX status.
Medical interviews were conducted on 8 and 9 of May with morning and afternoon slots. For my year new interview format was implemented for medical course only. It is called the Multiple Mini Interview (MMI).
I will not further explain about it as you can find them in Google. There are 9 stations in total, 5 active and 4 rest stations. In each active station there will be 2 minutes for you to read the questions and 5 minutes for answering. One interviewer for each station. For my session the questions asked were:.
Mengapakah anda memilih USM? Apakah keunikan PPSP USM?
Tuliskan dalam Bahasa Melayu. Why did you choose medicine?. You have been queuing for ATM machines for a long time and an old lady cuts in line in front of you. What would you do?. Your friend who is a college student has been pregnant for three months and wants to get an abortion from a traditional medicine practitioner.
She asks you not to disclose this information to any person. What would you do?. In a midnight, you hear your neighbours who often quarrel quarreling again with the noise of a baby crying and objects crashing on the floor. What would you do? Do take note that the interviewers might ask you questions based on your answer. UKM PPUKM Application to Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) undergraduate courses is under UPU application system.The medical faculty interview was held in PPUKM campus in Cheras, Selangor. Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (HUKM) is the in campus teaching hospital.
The interviews lasted for four days from 25 to 28 May with morning and afternoon sessions. Each candidate was interviewed by two interviewers. Each session was about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on your interviewers. What I was asked:. Terangkan latar belakang diri dalam Bahasa Melayu.
Why did you choose medicine?. Talk about your volunteering experience. As a doctor in a very busy clinic you have been on call for 2 days and are suffering from a severe headache.
An old patient complains about the slow service. What would you do?.
Explain about UKM medical curriculum structure. How would you deal with a patient who does not want to be treated by an inexperienced medical student like you?. Did you apply elsewhere?
Which will you choose if you get offer from UKM and other university? UM This is the first year where University of Malaya (UM) is having their own application system. Each applicant was required to fill in at least two choices out of the four choices. University of Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) and several other hospitals are the teaching hospitals for UM medical students. Candidates must sit for the University of Malaya Acceptance Test (UMAT) to be eligible for the interview. The test was carried out simultaneously in the University of Malaya Kuala Lumpur, Sabah and Sarawak respectively on 9th May. The interviews were from 25 to 28 May with morning and afternoon slots.
There are 5 zones available, namely in the main campus, Kedah, Johor, Sabah and Sarawak, to be chosen during application. Each candidate was interviewed by 2 to 3 interviewers. Each session lasted for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on your interviewers.
The interview was conducted fully in English language. What I was asked:. Please introduce yourself.
What are your hobbies?. What books do you read?.
What are the current issues?. How do you manage your family as a doctor?. Talk about your leadership experience in school. How do you percieve rivalry that may lead to conflicts? Some of my friends were asked about euthanasia, autism, vaccination, current diseases, teenage pregnancy, drug abuse etc. UNIMAS Application for University Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) is also under UPU application system. Interviews were held in UPM Serdang, Selangor for candidates in Peninsula Malaysia.
There were morning and afternoon slots. Each candidate was interviewed by 2 interviewers. Each session lasted for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your interviewers.
The interview was conducted fully in English language. What I was asked:.
Please introduce yourself. Why did you choose Medicine?. What are your hobbies?.
Talk about your volunteering experience. Your patient who is diagnosed with cancer does not want to undergo surgery due to fear.
What would you do?. What are the other universities that you applied to?
There are other public universities offering undergraduate course in medicine eg. UPM, UMS, UNISZA, UPNM, IIUM and UITM (for bumiputera only). Some I was not selected for interviews while others I did not apply to. How you arrange your UPU choices is important for the selection process. The medicine course is very competitive with many applicants and limited places.
Every year many end up getting other courses than medicine. You have to stand out among the thousands applicants to be selected.
My only advice for your interview preaparation is to be resourceful and independent. Do not expect spoonfeed from seniors, friends or parents. Search for current medical issues in and outside the country, study about common diseases and show your understanding towards the medical curriculum structure in the university you are applying to. Along the way, I have been guided by my seniors from high school and matriculation college. I want to say thank you to each of them who had patiently answered my questions and clarified my doubts. Words are not enough to express my gratitude for all of them. I hope this helps you.
🙂 150811 update: I was offered SM00-IJAZAH DOKTOR PERUBATAN at University Sains Malaysia Kampus Kesihatan at Kubang Kerian, Kelantan. To be frank, my heart sank when I saw this. However I believe that this is the best plan God has for me and I am very grateful for what I get. To you who are reading this, may God shines His light on you too.
Hi, never lose hope! I do have friends who did not get 4.0 in matriculation studying medicine in public uni. It depends on many factors like your racial background and the uni you apply to. However uni like UM only accept 4.0 students. I would suggest you put non RU like Unimas medic in your first choice of UPU. For Usm you can try putting medic first too.
Alas be reminded that there are also 4.0 students who could not get medic so your interview is important too. All the best and keep your passion! If thats the case maybe you can put Unimas, Ums or Unisza in the first few options in UPU. Normally RUs only choose 4.0 matric students who put them as first choice but I ain’t sure about that for this coming intake. You can take initiative to ask by calling or email the university’s medical faculty and unit pengambilan pelajar to ask or even ask them directly during the education fair in your school. As for dentistry all my non bumi friends got 4.0 in matriculation. There are also exceptions where non 4.0 students did well in interview and got accepted.
Hope this helps you and welcome. I’m sure you will reap what you sow.
After scrapping 'quota system' for university student intake as claimed by the Ministry of Higher Education, another form of racial quota system has since took over the old policy - Matrikulasi that systematically 'filter out' certain group of students from local public universities even before they finish Pre U program. PLEASE ALSO READ THIS POST The 'error' made by USM while posting up student's name list has not only hurt the feelings of applicants around the country by giving them false hope, it also seems like an effort to fabricate excuse to keep 4.0 CGPA STPM scorers out of the doorstep of local public universities. Out of the 4574 students whose names were mistakenly displayed as 'accepted', most of them are STPM graduates. Thousands of Matrikulasi students who obtained CGPA as low as 3.0, 3.4 and 3.7 are still being accepted into critical courses like Dentistry, Medicine and Pharmacy, while hundreds of STPM leavers were left in disappointment after being rejected entry to the Apex University. Many of the STPM students are the country's top scorer who scored CGPA 4.0. No matter what excuse given at this time, as long as STPM students are being deliberately rejected and ignored, the title of ' Apex University' is practically useless to USM who continue the implementation of biased policies.
In short, USM has not met the most BASIC requirement to be a truly competent university; and it is moving backward like all other public universities in Malaysia. Najib, stop the slogan, begin fixing the real problems! 'autonomy in finance, service scheme, management, student intake, study fees and determining the top leadership' Quoted from Education Malaysia They have autonomy in many crucial areas including student intake as well. But dont you think its kinda weird that Matrikulasi students (many of those scoring below 4.0) are 'particularly good' in munsyi test, while Top scorers of STPM couldnt do well? Personally I knew 2 friends who scored 4.0CGPA in STPM who were being rejected into pharmacy uSm.
They told me that many of their stpm friends are in the same boat. Things have not changed my friend, I knew it because I am a stpm graduate. Persoalan pelajar STPM dipinggirkan telah lama berlaku. Nak peroleh 4.0CGPA kat STPM bukan senang seperti Matrikulasi. Ramai Senior dan junior saya yang belajar matrikulasi mendapat kursus kursus kritikal seperti kedoktoran, pergigian dan farmasi di universiti tempatan; tetapi bagi pelajar stpm, sebagai contoh, hanya 2 pelajar stpm (2007) di SMJK Jit Sin mendapat kursus Kedoktoran walaupun banyak dikalangan kita mendapat keputusan yang baik.
Kami diberi statistik kasar daripada kaunselor sekolah kami, dan mendapati bahawa hampir 100% junior dan senior kami yang berkelulusan Matrikulasi mendapat pilihan pertama bagi aplikasi universiti tempatan. Perbezaan ini boleh dilihat dengan jelas apabila lebih daripada 10 orang graduan matrikulasi dari jitsin mendapat kedoktoran dan pergigian dan farmasi manakala bagi pelajar STPM jitsin daripada batch yang sama, hanya 2 pelajar sahaja yang dapat kursus kritikal. Itu benar bahawa ramai pelajar stpm dapat tawaran daripada universiti tempatan, tetapi, kebanyakannya tidak mendapat pilihan pilihan yang mereka buat. Saya mendapat 4A dalam stpm, minta pergigian tetapi langsung tidak mendapat kursus yang berkaitan dengan perubatan. Munsyi test itu sangat subjective. Kalau Munsyi test itu yang penting dan bukannya pencapaian akademik, buat apa orang belajar Pre U? Jika Munsyi itu penting sangat, mengapakah USM takut sangat nak umumkan keputusan munsyi?
As you said, people can cheat in munsyi test.It is very subjective and cannot be the sole determinant in the student intake of university. Merit based selection is always the correct way. I hope All races in Malaysia can understand this issue, that education is education. The purpose of education is to be equal in delivering knowledge to students. People can only grow through competition, believe me, this has nothing to do with racial issue at all. For the sake of the future ofMalaysia, favoritism cannot occur in our local public universities. Thanks for your opinion by the way, Anonymous!
Anonymous said. A few days ago USM was bombarded with rejecting 4,000 of the 8000 students shortlisted for entry in the latest intake.
The technical mistake is really bad and must be reprimanded. But the accusation as carried out by Sin Chew Jit Poh stating that about 90% rejected were Chinese candidates are wrong. It happens that parents of Chinese candiadates who are the most to publicly vent their unhappiness, which is only natural. I would have done the same. However, the truth is, about 62% of the rejected candidates were actually Malays.
According to a reliable source, who happens to be a good friend of mine said the university had, apart from checking exam scores had also conducted interviews to check on the students competencies, to comply to its APEX status. Some students who scored well academically, may not get entry as the rationale give was they fared poorly during interviews. USM, I was told is keen on taking students who are all rounders and capable of articulating their thoughts and sincere aspiration, and not just plain rote learning as benchmark for entry. With these two pointers, I hope and would like all not to kick the ass out of USM before a fair trial is given to them. USM does not want to talk about this since they worry that the Malays would wonder why so many of the rejected ones are of their race. The adminstration is like keluar mulut buaya, masuk mulut harimau The conclusion is: the ruling party had played the racial card so often that, when an institution that is acting impartially also will not be seen with such integrity, as the trust is gone.
It is like the boy calling wolf, and when the wolf came nobody trusted him. Ain't it a pity.sighhh! Well, you can say that 60% who are rejected are Malays, and the newspaper can say other wise.
But in my blog, I say most of them are STPM students. I didnt say Chinese are being purposely rejected or Malays are being favored. WHat i'm trying to say is that, TWO UNFAIR SYSTEM IS RUNNING IN MALAYSIAN EDUCATION. Matrikulasi And Quota Policy in student intake and scholarships distribution.
But USM has failed to clarify ANYTHING because they're NOT TRANSPARENT. They're being so NOT transparent that they failed to let us know HOW they select the students, WHO are those students, and HOW they performed in both academic and Munsyi test. Academic alone should not be the only benchmark for university entry nowadays, but nothing can replace the importance of meritocratic system in determining one's qualification. If they dont even dare to let the world know how they interpret the success of students through the performance in munsyi test, and what the results they have got, do you still think munsyi test can be a sole excuse why students are being rejected?
No matter what's the motive behind all these third world gaffe, Meritocracy should be the only way. Anyone can Say ANYTHING about USM now because it has no such INTEGRITY and TRANSPARENCY to defend itself. You may say your source is reliable, I can say mine is. See the problem here?
It's USM's faults. What i write in these few posts are not blatant lies targeting USM or Government, it is based on what I have experienced myself, What I and myfriends have gone through, and also the feed back from my juniors, seniors, and through the complaints voiced out in internet forums. The bias towards USM might be there because of the 'influence' of governments racial policies, But USM must play its card right to prove itself clean and avoid being criticized. They're not granted the APEX title for nothing. They have to prove it.
They have to walk the talk. Anonymous said.

I second SoHee's statement.
The writer is writing about the difference in treatment received by STPM graduates and Non-Stpm student (majority of them are Matrikulasi students). If Razin is not aware of, the writer Did Not mention about race, malay chinese or indians at all. Go to school of medicine, ask how many of them are from STPM. Guarantee less than 10%.
And 90% are from matrikulasi which needs only less than a year to study, compared to STPM which is hard to score. Siapa makan cili siapalah yang terasa pedasnya.

This is a single comment, broken into 2 parts: I'm a USM student and I can confirm that much of your accusations here are not true and baseless. And get this, I also studied in Matriculation program and my CGPA upon graduating from that college was 3.73, nonetheless it doesn't buy me a place for the real course that I wanted so badly; Pharmacy. And sir, your perception on MUNSYI test is very wrong. It's not a test that has a right or wrong, for god sake, it's much like a career aptitude test.
Even a 10 year old can answer such test, and certainly there are no 'marks' for this sort of test. Many of my Chinese course-mates are STPM graduates. Not to mention that undergraduates here are also mostly made up of Chinese (STPM + diploma + A-levels graduates) students. So what does this tell us? You argue that 'meritocracy should be the only way', and I do agree with you; if the applicant is not competent enough so as to deserve the place in IPTA, particularly USM, he/she has no right to be in USM. The reality is: this is what USM is doing.
They shortlist the applicants for the critical courses (pharmacy, dentistry, medic), and have them INTERVIEWED first and the applicants must pass this before they are given the chance to study those courses. Not something you would have in mind eh? Plus, let it be known to you that all graduates of Matriculation program, STPM, A-levels and diploma, they must have a CGPA of 3.0 and above to ensure their places to study in USM. I'm not sure you can call this a quota based placement, can you? I sincerely think you got confused with the matriculation program: the placement for this program is the one based on quota (this is undeniably true), but not USM.
Take my word for it or don't, I am student of USM and this is the reality of things here. And get this, if you must know: Matriculation program was made specifically for its graduates to enter IPTA/local universities. If you call this as favoritism, then perhaps you should know that we only studied for 10-11 months in Matriculation college.
In that short span of time, we crammed our heads with 20+ chapters per subject per semester. And averagely, 20-30% of the students didn't make it pass the first semester, worse still, those Matriculation graduates with CGPA below than 3.0 are auctioned off to any course and IPTA the higher education ministry feel we are suited to. They have no say at all regarding this. Part 2: simply put, Matriculation is a shortcut to IPTA but it comes with high risk. As I did mentioned earlier (cramming our heads with lessons and stuffs), actually every day in that college, we are gambling with our future. And here is the ultimatum, I think everyone must know that the graduates from KPM Matriculation, their qualification is only valid for a year.
Program Asasi
If we didn't make it to any IPTA withing a year, our qualification is automatically revoked. And what do we do? Either, repeat the program, or go and do the diploma. The latter is always true, and this is also the only option left for those who didn't make it through the first semester. And sorry, I didn't intend to make it this long but I must add that, in the year that I got enrolled into USM, I did read that some 30-40% of graduates from A-levels, Matriculation, STPM and diploma didn't make it to any IPTA. Why did I mentioned this, well it's because we must be aware that the bigger picture is, our public local universities cannot accommodate all of STPM, Matriculation, A-levels and diploma graduates altogether for undergraduate studies. Ergo, the private universities: their sole purpose is to accommodate all those who didn't get to study in public universities.
Education means business for our government nowadays. Why bother adding more public universities when it can bring profits to those IPTS owned by cronies? Just do some research and you'll know, UNITAR, HELP, UniKL and etc. In a nut shell, this matter is not simply about favoritism, not at all. But it’s about our government stubbornness to not improve the higher education in this country.
They prefer to have it privatized and I’d like to reiterate that: the existing public institutions are of course, cannot accommodate newer placements every year. Oh yeah, I hope you would respect my honest opinion ya. Hope you would let this comment to exist. Anonymous said. Anonymous said.
