Hi people ! I just registered for SAT Jan 28th next year, and 've bout 2 months to prepare. Any can share some experience of it ?

One thing I'm not sure is I will be 21y.o next year, is this any extra procedure for that ( International freshman applicant for 21y.o )? Ofcos, I'll submit my scores after I done the exam. I can apply sep intake only sadly sad.gif cos I need to earn sufficient fund before going. And tuition fee is definitely a dead end cos my parents will not

For instance docs need for coll in NY :
1. Application
2. Official high school transcript ( Suppose is SPM Certificate, some will request to be in ENGLISH how then ? )
3. Test scores ( SAT or ACT )
4. Non-refundable $65 application processing fee ( I notice that most unis opt for non-refundable sad.gif
5. Essay (Optional)
6. Personal statement / Letters of recommendation (Optional) ( Is this going to help ? )
7. Further information & recommended reading

8. My question, some unis will need secondary school letter from teacher but I left for years and I don't think my teacher even remember me. Can skip right ?

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.

Statement C : 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 ?
