of coz its year.

If you're studying. and if 4 years there = 40k USD x 4 x 3 = 480k ringgit. HAHAHAHA

Now THATs for the rich.

if 4 years ... 40K x 3 = RM 120 000 only for cost of living

that's quite acceptable 

add one more , my type.

People who might not be smart but is passionate about something and is willing to invest a lot to pursue his dreams. FUHHHHH.

Thanks! Actually I'm just about to start my four-year degree haha.. only going to apply for work in game companies after that. Wow, that's nice! Rockstar UK is really good, working on great projects and games right now. Well if you'd like to continue your education you could.. and build your portfolio so you could come back and work for Rockstar (or any other game companies in mind).
Haha, nah. I just took SPM last year.

Haha, when I was in Form 5 (last year) I went to several American Education Fairs in KL to talk to the college representatives about my options. Many of them offer animation. They're very helpful and will talk to you (and your parents) about what you can do, etc, etc.

In fact there's one coming up, I received this from an email. They regularly email me about the education fairs heheh. Open the spoiler to view the details of the event.



It's actually very simple.. just a few clicks here and there, and about 10 tabs open in Mozilla.. you can just explore the universities from the comforts of your home! In fact I went to about three different American Education fairs, I found two prospective universities which I applied to (Columbia College Chicago and San Diego State University) but as for the one I'm heading to right now (Academy of Art University), I found it in a forum where Game Design/Dev students were discussing colleges.

No, I didn't receive a scholarship.. we did tick the 'Apply for Financial Aid' box in the form, but that'll be sorted out later after I send in the bank statement. Actually, my family is funding my studies there by selling one of our old houses.. 
I see. Where are you taking up your ADP? And what's your concentration?

where did u get this info?

btw. this is for those who r interested in medicine. big no for most of us.

You're welcome!

Yes, you should discuss with your parents. It is important that the parents are involved in this process.. after all they've been taking care of you all your life and they will fund your studies there in the States. Have a talk with them. I discussed this a lot with my father as well as my relatives as they've all studied in the US and thus can share their experiences.

Your SPM results doesn't really matter.. I mean, don't get like 9G for your SPM! Like 5A's should be fine too (that's what I'm aiming for!). Most of them don't really look at your SPM results, they just want it to make sure that you are a certified high school leaver.

You can translate it yourself and get your school to chop it (I made a thread on this a couple of months ago!) or you can find translation services by notary publics (according to my cousin) and also the state education office.
Haha, ADP is for those who want to stay in Malaysia for 2 years first lah. I didn't want to.

I didn't subscribe at any website, I just attended one of the fairs and filled up a form. They'll start emailing you with emails about upcoming fairs after that!

Nice! Chem Eng, fairly hard subject.. you must have really good marks in school for your science subjects!

Haha. Thanks.

For adp, it is not a must to do it 2+2. it can be 1+3, 1.5+2.5, 0.5+3.5

The choice is yours.

Hmm, they should insert a link to their website along with the infos u get what, mind checking?

Yeah, but is it a good thing to have relatives there? I don't think I had any who went there before

Hey, I'm also kind of aiming for 5A's too! But doesn't this mean lesser chance of obtaining a scholarship? And btw, did you have to practice real hard in your portfolio development before you are admitted?

Could you also link me to the thread you've created? I'm having the twirl just to browse the one by one through the threads
Thanks a million times again xD

i believe if u r going to US, there will only be two kind of ppl.

1. Rich ass who go for the cool factor
2. Hardworking scholar who wants the best education and what does hardworking scholar normally gets? Scholarships.

for 500K own money ... I should banned myself from entering this thread liao ... 

thanks for the estimated figure 

Well I'm only saying that as most people take up 2+2, but thanks anyway. And I didn't know there is a 0.5 + 3.5 LOL..

thenemesis,

3) Those who work and pay their own way through college.  And. this kind of people do not go for the most expensive school.

Dreamer

I did this before,but in malaysia my subject was hardly available(Industrial design:Transportation design & theory)
so I do not want to becoming like some of my frens that was taking the subject in sake for the cool factor when going to university or college life.

& the gaming industry also not very good either.Hence,I take the rockstar worldwide recruitment last year because the payment was very well(around GBP 18k based on my criteria & subject I choose,+ 5-6 year working tenure for game project/assigment on teamwork/department)

So,I not really choosy type of person when it come to place where I can learn the same thing at even affordable price but in here there is almost no college or university that offering the subject that I want to learn.
