decide on a major. if you have chosen an adp in a particular college, and if you know what major you want, and you kinda have an idea of what uni in US you want to go to, make sure you check the uni's website and see if they have a list of courses that are transferable from the college in msia. most of the time, they do. especially from taylor's and inti, they should have a list.

most of the time, ppl who transfer their credits to US uni, it's about 50+ credit hours. that would put you at sophomore standing (2nd year). most of the time, major courses will not be offered at college with adp. it's only the general requirements that are offered.

what major are you thinking of? i can kind of tell you which courses from adp in msia will transfer.

i did my adp in taylor's. any college in msia is fine.

the courses that you take in msia will be transfered to the uni which you apply and admitted for undergrad. so depending on the uni, not all credits will be transfered.

most uni, you need about 128 credit hours or more, i have no idea. but for my major it's 128 credit hours to graduate. so if you take some credit hours in msia, it would be transfered, meaning, you would have less credit hours to take in US.

another thing to consider, you can always take courses at community college here in the US, which is much cheaper and will definitely transfer, but always check with the uni if it does transfer or not.

it will most probably be an elective or disregarded. you will have to take whatever courses you're lacking in US, pay more dollars!

well, i like it. it's less stressful compared to like taking SPM (only one exam determine whether you pass/fail), it requires that you study continuously, because of the quizzes, exams, assignments, presentations. so you will not fail miserably if you do well in some, if you do well in all, you should be getting As. i really dont know about other education system. but if you like ADP, you should like studying in US more...i find it easier compared to ADP.

another thing, there's always scholarships for undergrad available, competitve but possible. if you have really good results from SPM and from ADP, you can get scholarships and those can cover quite a lot of the tuition. i have friends here who get about $5000/year. it's quite a lot.

and if you plan to do your masters, you will get assistantship: for my uni, you wont need to pay tuition, and you only need to pay for your fees (intl student fee, health insurance, computer lab, library. etc.) in addition, you will get a stipend every month, that would be your "pay". this should be enough for your monthly expenses.

when you're getting close to finishing ADP, get in touch with seniors in the uni you want to go, they should be able to help you or give you more info.

UNL, just google it. BS dietetics, continuing MS nutrition.

you're welcome. good luck!

whatever you took in the previous semester will accumulate. the cumulative graduate point average (CGPA). so if you did very badly for one subject, like C or D, it will show your in CGPA. unless you retake (remember, it's not resit an exam) that class and score a better grade it will be hard to bring your CGPA up.

nebraska is good for studying, there's not much entertainment around. The comp science major seems to be pretty good here, lots of Malaysians are here doing their BS and MS here.

well, you decide for yourself. i'm not a comp sci major. research the universities yourself and apply whichever uni you want. i'm just stating the fact here, that there is quite a lot of comp sci major here who are Malaysians. i'm sure there is more/less in other uni who are majoring in comp sci too.

tuition and fees increase every academic year.
