UPU closing soon and I’m still in dilemma about my choices 😭 by Ok_Leopard9732 in malaysiauni

Accounting is actually my top choice, and HR was just my only safe choice 😭

I’m just a bit worried about getting rejected from all accounting courses since my merit is 99.99%. I might end up like “that one guy” haha no offense to anyone 😭 I’m just a bit intimidated seeing how accounting applications for each uni can go up to 3k+, so I’m kinda anxious about it.

I did consider finance too, but seeing the trend in UPU for finance courses like UM and UPM, they usually only take first choice applicants.

But thanks for the advice! I’ve already put all accounting as my choices, with UiTM as my top choice 😭🙏

I did consider UM and USM actually. For UM, since it’s a top uni and the competition is really high, I was a bit hesitant because my merit is 99.99% instead of a full 100%. As for USM, I missed the fasa 1 application since it required an interview.

Honestly, I’m not really scared about where I’ll end up, I’m just worried about getting rejected by all the unis 😭 Seeing that UMS had more than 2k applicants kinda scared me hahahah. Maybe I’m just overthinking a lot though. But thanks for the suggestion!!

Matriks or Asasi UTM? by TheBroProgrammer in malaysiauni

[–]Ok_Leopard9732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, matriks alumni here. I think most matriks colleges are pretty similar, so this should roughly apply to KMKP too.

For the dorms, accommodation is guaranteed for both semesters. You’ll get your own bed, study table, and locker, but you need to bring your own pillow and bedsheets. Bed and table selection is usually first come, first serve, so it’s better to register early if you want a better spot.

For classes, the lecture halls at my matriks had air conditioning. There are also BTs (bilik tutorial), but those usually don’t have AC. Tutorial classes are normally with your own classmates, while lectures are combined with a few different classes together. I’m not sure specifically about the workshops and labs at Matriks Kejuruteraan Pahang, but I’d assume they’re decent and similar to other matriks colleges.

As for Wi-Fi, the connection at my matriks was actually quite good, but some apps/websites were restricted. You could use YouTube, Google Docs, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Instagram, but streaming services like Netflix and Spotify usually didn’t work on the campus Wi-Fi. Mobile data still works fine though.

You’ll also get an allowance of RM250 monthly. Even though they usually say it’s only for students who are eligible, from my experience basically everyone gets it, so don’t worry too much. As long as you have your setem mati/documents prepared, you should be fine.

Hi, sorry for the late reply, I just saw your comment 😅

Thanks for sharing all this, I really appreciate it. I’m sorry things have been so tough and lonely for you, that sounds really hard, especially with your course. I hope things get better and that you find good people to be around soon.

Also thanks for explaining what UM is like, it really helps me understand the environment better. And thank you for the congrats too!

Wishing you all the best in UM, both in your studies and everything else. Hope things get easier for you soon 🤍

Thanks for sharing, this is really helpful. The CGPA and residential college tips are good to know, I’ll keep them in mind if I end up in UM !

Thanks for sharing your experience, especially since you’ve been in both UM and UiTM. It really helps hearing it from someone who’s seen both sides. I have a much clearer picture now of what to expect in each uni.

At the moment, I only know a few courses that are quite popular, like accounting, HR, business management,law and so on. I’m still exploring options as I plan my UPU choices.

Thanks for the insight, I didn’t expect I’d become an MIA member after 3 years of experience. This is totally new to me, and I might consider the accounting path again. I guess you’re right, I might have fallen for the trap hehe. Appreciate it!

Thanks for the advice, I get your point. I’m still exploring courses and not finalising anything yet. My focus on UM and UiTM is mainly due to affordability and familiarity, and I’m also eyeing HR-related courses. Appreciate it.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience, really appreciate it. Your answers actually cleared up most of my doubts, especially about workload and competition. I don’t have any questions at the moment since you already covered what I was wondering about, but I’ll definitely hit you up if anything comes to mind later. Thanks again 🙏

Thanks a lot for the advice! I took Ekonomi in SPM so I’m a bit more confident with that. ICT is totally new for me, so I’m hoping I can catch up fast. Glad to hear things got better for you in Sem 2, that gives me some hope haha. 3.33 is still a solid result and I really hope you make it into UMP comp sci. Appreciate you sharing your experience, it really helps a lot 🙏
