yeah.i realised.my bad.but if you want to transfer to better universities,taking the SAT is adviseable.take university of chicago for example.

is that so? princeton is one of the universities listed for transer in taylors ADP. maybe it is out of date
there aren't many choices to choose from the applied science majors,since computer science and engineering is out of my list..
actuarial science is too tough for me coz i'm not very good in add maths...
so now,i have a problem choosing the major course

Which course are you most interested in if you could choose anything in the whole wide world?

something to do with the environment! i want to save animals,prevent pollution..etc etc..
but my mum prefers me to study something more prestigous,that is either medic or law. but both my sis n bro are already studying law! plus,she doesnt allows me to study biomedical in taylors!

i personally think you should study something YOU ENJOY.dont be influenced by others because in the end of the day,if you dont want to be a doctor or a lawyer,you'll despise your profession for your whole life and be unhappy.very dramatic,i know. the world needs more people like you that wants to save it.

there are many courses out there.taylor's adp program offers less subjects.try help university.they've a very wide range of subjects for you to choose from for your credit hours.actually,you're not restricted to majoring computer science and stuff.the thing with american education is that you can decide later on and you can always take the subjects that can match what you want to study in america and not necessarily need to do computer science and all.

but if you're still undecided of what you want to major in but know where you want to go,take the A-levels first la like i suggested.always good to delay decisions.hehe.

does anybody know which university is good for business major?

you want undergraduate degree or graduate degree?

If you mean Undergraduate (I think you mean that?),
look at the ranking table of USA News. Basically the top colleges are good for business major.

If you mean Graduate,
Wharton school of business is the most recognised.

It really depends on how you define "good".

University of Nebraska-Lincoln basically is not a prestigious university if you follow the ranking table of USA News. (2nd tier I think, out of 50)

However, university experience basically is a self-studying and self-exploring experience. How much you can benefit from an oversea education really depends on your attitude.

I think many transfer students from Malaysia are studying in Nebraska. So studying in a university with many people come from the same country as you would make you feel more home. And Nebraska is offering some kind of scholarship to transfer students (Inti, Taylor I'm not sure).

I would recommend you a forum for getting more education information,
http://www.recom.org.
It is really a great forum for discussing, sharing and asking about eduation,.


Good luck in your pursuit.

most top universities in the states dont offer undergraduate degree for business.but here are the good ones that do:
1. UPenn (Wharton)
2. U of Virginia (McIntire) - good in both undergrad and grad.
3. Notre Dame (Mendoza)
4. MIT (Sloan)
5. Emory (Gonzueita)

for graduate,of course are the ivy leagues.i think we all know that so i list down the non ivies for you:
1. Northwestern (Kellogg)
2. U of Michigan (Ross) - good in both undergrad and grad.
3. UCLA (Anderson)
4. U of Indiana (Kelley)
5. U of North Carolina (Kenan-Flagler)

you can actually go check it out in www.businessweek.com.it is very detailed in business education in the states.hope it helped.

thank you very much guys. really appreciate your help.
btw, i found this site few months ago. CollegeBoard. good articles and very helpful College Search.

you can try this website: Princeton Review.you can check out about your interest there.very detailed.i dont know the real estate market much so i cant comment.

Since you mentioned you're doing ADP. Erm...Transferring to Ivys will be a little bit harder.

Well, you can try U- of Michigan Ross School of Business. (I'm not sure they offer real estate)

and well...University of Wisconsin-Madison. Yes, they do offer real estate. And the school of business is good too.

Purdue University...

Do you plan to do graduate study after that?
And you should watch about your budget in choosing university too.

All your parents can affford to send you all to US?? Rm 100k a year??

what is graduate/undergraduate study? im utterly confused.

I think they can, thats why they allowed me to enroll in ADP.
Is it hard to get aid, or scholarship or loan or whatever?
I dont really want to burden my parents.

I searched for universities that offer Real Estate major, but not many of them offer that. most of the universities that offer Real Estate are either private or really expensive.
but I found few public universities: UoMississipi, UoWyoming & UoMissouri.

Going to US doesn't have to cost a person RM100k a year. Of course it can cost that much, but with financial aid it can cost a WHOLE lot less. Btw, my parents can't afford to send me to the US.

Undergrad is what you study for your 1st degree (like a Bachelor's degree), grad is after your undergrad studies. (like Masters/Ph.D)

How hard it is to get financial aid depends on a lot of things including.. whether you ask for it, where you apply for financial aid (from the college/somewhere else), how likely you are to get the aid.. etc. I'm not sure in your case.

Undergraduate study means "Ijazah pertama" (pardon my malay). Graduate generally means "master degree" or "doctorate degree".

I'm not sure with the scholarship stuff, you have to check with your advisor. Some universities have particular good connections with some colleges, so you will get the scholarship/aids stuff.

Hey, you must need to talk with your parents about the budget stuff. Money is always the first thing to think about if you want to get oversea education since financial aids are not always guaranteed.

ok, my 2 cents.

All advisor told me its quite impossible to get aid (other than loan) for the 2 years of the degree there. So bye bye!

But it is easy to get a scholarship/waiver for the 2 years of the graduate degree.(Relatively.)

It will be much more than RM100k, if you are going to study in a prestigious university, it may cost you about US40k per annum. And financial aid is not so easy to get one, especially for the top-notch university( excluding hte need-blind).
