Well, I'm not an SPM graduate yet, but I had to research early and look around for an art school that would provide me the best teaching.(I heard that the intake application is quite early, if I were to obtain my SPM result in late March 2012, wouldn't I lose out?)
Thanks for asking btw smile.gif

Yeap, you need to start early if you want to apply (especially if you're applying for financial aid). About applying, the intake for US colleges is usually in September.

Oh I see, are you still studying?
sad.gif Wow, it's thrice more expensive than the colleges here, I guess that's the price for taking up quality education in foreign countries.
I'm actually still in Form 5, I'm planning to go to US since animation courses there are highly recognized and prestigious starting next year (*oh well, hollywood)

But I'm kind of a little lost from researching unis in US, I thought trying to be independent and search on my own would be better, but I guess I ended up here to get some aid. sad.gif

Did you obtain some scholarship or something over there? I not much of an explorer, and I might not be well-prepared for this you see...

Yup but gaming industries are much worthy than hollywood production for now.....that is why some of biggest name in gaming company did have some once-in-a-year worldwide recruitment(mostly for their high rated series.In this case I was applied for enviromental modeler/texturing & I might be employed in section like Midnight Club,GTA,Max Payne or LA Noir team)

But now..... doh.gif  sweat.gif

But I do want to continue my study which I was left in at year 1 during 2008(I taking industrial design,but left the college since I got personal issues surrounding the family such as moving to new place which is quite far from the college itself,& some others)

So just to ask,it is possible for me to continued study from where I left for 2 years or I need to restart all from the ground up all over again?

Yeap, it's possible. smile.gif Remember to let the universities know what you're doing in those two years.

Wow, it's seemed like you did a lot of preparation before too  smile.gif, thanks for sharing.

Another question, should I start discussing with my parents in this? I did tell my dad about animation courses but not specifically like where or when.

And do I score really well as in straghts A's for my SPM?

And how do you officially translate the school-relevant transcripts?
I think I'm asking too many questions for now blush.gif

To a certain extent this is true for international students. Some colleges might have a diff. financial aid policy for international students.

Still thinking of going in for a 2011 intake? Yes, people will tell you it's a little late and timing is a little tight to make an application, but apparently not for these schools. Check this list out, and you'll be surpirsed you may still be in time for it.
