PRE MATCHING!

**********UPDATED!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Everyone! Hope studying for ICA is coming along ok!

To all of you doing IMU-PMS, Karim and myself have started the Pre-Matching for us to gauge our chances of getting into various universities in relative to our peers!

So this is how it's going to work.

1. Those doing PMS from student ID's 001-131, E-MAIL to Karim your TOP 10 university choices along with your Name and Student ID. Those with Student ID numbers 132 onwards (INCLUDING RESIT STUDENTS) e-mail me the details. Our e-mails are at the right side of the page >>>>>>>>


2. The list of Partner Medical Schools can be seen HERE.

The general requirements for some of the PMS are in the I drive, under Elective & Matching. PLEASE HAVE A LOOK TO KNOW WHICH UNIS YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR!

Some excerpts from the link

"We have a new pathway for those wanting to go to a PMS. It is the graduate entry to the Australian National University (ANU), the University of Warwick (UW) and the University of Queensland (UQ). This new pathway will allow you to better plan your finances. We only have 35 places."

"To get the BMedSci degree, you will have to remain for 1 more year to complete a research-based degree, the Bachelor of Medical Sciences (BMedSci) at the IMU. You must achieve an upper second class degree. If you do not achieve an upper second class degree, or have failed a major examination in Phase 1, every effort will be made to offer you a place in an undergraduate PMS. In the unlikely event that there is no PMS place, there will be a place for you in the IMU Clinical School. "


3. To those who want to apply to Jefferson or any of the Post Grad schools, still put in your top 10 (though you guys will be matched first) BEAR IN MIND THAT THERE ARE 3 POST GRAD SCHOOLS - QUEENSLAND, ANU AND WARWICK so to those who want to do post grad, YOUR TOP 3 SHOULD BETWEEN THESE 3, followed by other unis. To those who want to apply to Jefferson, put Jefferson as your top choice and rank the other 9 unis in order of preference should you change your mind about applying for Jefferson.

4. PLEASE BE AS HONEST AS POSSIBLE and not be SOO "KIASU" AND SECRETIVE about your choices so that "others won't know and hence won't consider that university" (if that makes sense).

To you kiasu folks out there, if you don't want others to go to a university, the point would be to show that that particular university is popular, right??? MEANS you HAVE to truthfully put it as your prefered choice!!!

5. PLEASE TYPE OUT THE FULL NAME OF THE UNIVERSITY AS PER THE IMU WEBSITE! i.e UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE instead of just MELBOURNE. This is to make it easier for me to just cut and paste your selections into Excell as opposed to individually adding the UNIVERSITY OF.

Why do we want everything in full? For standardization purposes so later when we want to sort the unis, it will be easier. Otherwise, Excell will interpret "University of Melbourne" and "Melbourne" as separate.

6. DEADLINE IS THE DAY OF OUR ENDO-REPRO- RENAL Summative! (29th May 2009)!!

Good luck!!! And we hope to get a good response from everyone!!

To participate, please pass your names to your batch reps or email imusrc@gmail.com directly to obtain a copy of the application forms. Please submit your applications to Jodie (SRC) by 7th of June 2009. Thanks.

Just something I learned recently: Remember you're competing against no one but yourself, and how far you will go depends on how far you're willing to go :)

Cheers,

3. Convocation

Convocation will be on 30 May 2009. This is the first time Convocation will be held in Bukit Jalil Campus instead of Sheraton hotel! How exciting!

This is for the following reasons:

1. To showcase the campus, allow parents to experience the environment their child has been studying in and such. Also, nostalgia!

2. To built a stronger rapport between faculty, administration and students

3. To develop the sense of belonging in students

To make this a success, the administration will need a lot of manpower and we would like to recruit 25 ushers to help out on 30th of May.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided, along with a special chance to be treated like a staff and allowed entry to the staff lounge, and an opportunity to experience the grandeur and be part of Convocation.

At the moment we can't confirm any incentives for volunteers, but we really do need your help to make the convocation of our seniors a special one.

We all reap the fruits of the contributions our seniors made to IMU and this is a small chance for us to give something back in appreciation. To volunteer, please email your name and contact details to imusrc@gmail.com or contact Jodie (VP Med) directly at 014-9215715.

Thanks!

Loads of love and cheers,
Zia Shah
President SRC 09/10
