three universities, three courses, only one option favoured

Posted by peiying Friday, August 29, 2008

as mentioned in the previous entries, i was accepted by York's University for their BSc Psychology course, and yes, i'm admitted into IMU's MPharm too, and today, another offer came, Bachelor Dental Surgery course by AIMST.

just as what some of my friends predicted, i've turned down York's offer cause i 'finally' realised that counselling others, listening to a stranger expressing their dilemma, or prescribing tranquilizers is not something i wanted to do for the rest of my life. and most importantly, the wage for a bachelor degree in psychology in canada is not something to be bragged about. unless you attained your masters, else psychology is not somewhat a wise choice. in a nutshell, will just have to bid canada goodbye for the meantime.


York University

then there's IMU's offer which is very attractive. the 2+2 MPharm programme allows graduates to register as pharmacist in UK upon graduation without the need to return to malaysia which is a huge plus point as compared to their 2.5+1 programme. but accepting the offer would result me to rot for another 4-5 months before commencing studies in january next year. WAKAO! by then i will like the 'senior' among the freshmen. yer... don't like the fact. not good, not good.


IMU

AIMST sent me the offer letter today regarding admission into their dentistry programme which is what i wanted to do all this while. who doesn't know that a profession in dental field means good money, what more a dentist. tuition fees for this programme is equivalent to that for IMU MPharm. and as always, there's a drawback behind each and every offer, and for AIMST, it's the recognition. besides malaysia, graduates are not recognised to do their practise in any other countries (as in more developed ones). this is a huge issue for someone who is so not patriotic like me. the pro is AIMST has launced their whole new building with dental facilities and apparatus of world-class standards. man!!! their dental labs and in fact the whole dental faculty building truly sets a much higher benchmark for both private and government universities offering the same programme to keep in par with.


AIMST



given are the above choices, it's a future at stake. i've made my decision. i've made it.

ah damnn:) thought I stumbled upon a future junior's blog, and then you slipped away from our fingers into the realms of IMU. :P

My bf actually did the Mpharm course for half a year before going to NUS.

Oh, right. :) Hi, nice to meet you. Jolene Lai, 4th year AIMST BDS student. :) Just doing my usual juniors-blog-hunting before the academic year starts. :)

Our facilities are really amazing... everyday we get surprised with something new, us being the pioneer batch and all. Perhaps our course is too young to convince you. Hopefully it'll be recognised far and wide in the future!
