Especially Harvard University; John Hopkins University;
University of Pennsylvania (Top Business School too)...
It may sounds funny... When i was much younger... During my secondary school time... Study was not a cup of my tea... In fact i dislike study, Never get to sit down quietly study and do my revision... Even during SPM & STPM, I'll do my revision the day before exam, and thanks God i did okay still (Hopeless at that time, my parents' view..haha) But today, reading has become part of my interest.... I can spend hours to read and do my research without feeling bored and started to look into more knowledge advancement in all areas...
Medical school was my dream...
But I did not make my dream into action and now there is no excuse
for me to regret that I'm not studying Medic
(Didn't get straight A's so cannot study medic).
Hahaha but still I'm in a Health line... as I'm in Psychology...
Here are some nice and beautiful Universities (Just Blog this for my Brother)
Anyway... RSMU- Russia State Medical University is one of the oldest Uni and most prominent Medical university in Russia.
To me as a Psychology student I'll hope and Dream that I can get myself entering Stanford University, USA. However, this dream will hardly being achieved...
Why?
Stanford University is the Top University for Psychology in the world...
Top 15 University in the World.
To get your Self Entering to Stanford you'll need these:
1. High CGPA @ Min 3.8 preferably 4.0 (They want the best of the best)
2. Publication of High Quality Journals & Research Papers
(Not many students writes journals or research paper)
3. You have a connection with Standford University (You parents are Alumni)
4. Your parents are RICH and have High Social Economic Status (High SES)
5. You are a Poor but you're a Genius
6. You can go through a though selection of Interview, Entry Examination, and write a good thesis paper.
7. You are determine enough to compete with the smartest people on earth...
8. God helps you
9. You family supports you
10. You help yourself
Why Private and Not Local?
Here are the reasons:
1. Local Universities are previously Good in the 60's -70's
but have gradually fall behind other universities in the world even
its sister School NUS_National University of Singapore is not is top 25.
Where is UM... somewhere around 250++
2. Local Universities are mostly conducting their course in BM...
So when you graduated for you Degree but you want to continue your
studies in overseas you'll face the problems of language because you
do not use English as the main medium in all your studies.
Eg. All Psychology terms are in English, but if you learn in BM
you will get confuse when you need to learn in English.
3. Even you're a very very smart student you might not get into the course you
previously wanted to study. Eg. You've scored 10 A1 and you apply for
Medic in UM and you did not get it, then you wonder why?
Other people scored 10B3 and they get into Medic...
coz they have the privileges so you better stop dreaming...
Collect more money and go for Private.
4. Thinking that those Professor will entertain you when you have questions...
the scenario might not be such...
those people who will entertain you are the Tutor and your friends...
5. Fees are cheap... way cheap compared to Private Universities...
With RM50K you can only get one single Degree in a Private University...
In Local you can use it for at least 3 Degree.
6. To improve your BM choose Local...
To Improve Mandarin choose Local...
To improve English choose Private...
7. To get cheap and good education choose Local...
To get expensive and Good education choose Private (Depending on which uni as well)...
8. Choose your courses... if you can't get it in Private go for Local...
Usually Local Universities offers more courses compared to private universities
and Local have more facilities too....
9. Anyway there is not definite answer whether to choose Private or Local
(This only happens in Malaysia) Both have its Pros and Cons
In oversea usually Privates are the best..
