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?
Hey ya,thanks for the helpful link.
& hopefully you can perform better than what I was going through.
The gaming industries is like acting on hollywood this day.As long as you have the talent & have been thought & self learn since you were young,you can try the best to apply for the seat on workload that mostly didnt ask about degree/cert other than passion to work for the title they want to produce(it will be good if you have doing some game mod before,& luckily I used to do a mod for Rfactor,NFS model,& some other racing related game)
But you never know if you what future was hold rite?
So I also on same side on you...I want to try to get back for study on the field that I like.
BTW,you got support from family so it was good to hear.
My parents was all the person with lotsa degree/master & cert on the hand ,but somehow they didnt really like my decision to continue my study.....I even consider about selling my sportscar/bike for the reason but still all the family member was against my decision....
This also some of the reason why I need to take a "rest" for 2 years now from further studying....& all the family member now helping working on the company that was establish by my parent.
So I do really in desperate situation as for now,so I want to know how do you ever take the loan or getting a scholarship?
& did the university have some-kind of in-house financial aid for international student with contract or sumthin like that?
