Most of the universities do not require a secondary school letter from your teachers, im not sure about ivy leagues or the top schools, they probably need them.

SPM certificate, translate it and get it chopped by an official.

Personal statement and letter of recommendations are very helpful and i recommend you do it/get it. 3 recommendations should be fine.

don't forget your financial statement that states that you are able to pay for 1 year's living and tuition. even if its not required for the uni, its required for the visa.

senseis who are in US, correct me if i'm wrong.

How can I explain to the official, if my high school dun issue this kinda letter ?

And, where to translate the spm cert cos I never do before, commissioner oath ?

I try to beg around, maybe i can get someone high post, definitely related with my undergrad couse ( his job ).
Statement C - my cousin, who just back from US, advice me to take local scholarship ( I don't have money, I will consider to take local loan) . Is that able to to prove I've ability to to stay in US for a year ?

Any SAT Jan 28th candidates ? Let's talk, my average score is about 1400, how can I improve ? All my math skills rust, I didn't study after almost a year

happy chinese new year guys!
