Most top American schools require 12 years of schooling (Form 5 is the 11th year), all UK universities require GCE A Levels/Scottish Advanced Higher National/equilevent to enter as an undergraduate, as with top universities in Australia (like ANU), Japan (Univ of Tokyo), and elsewhere.<BR/><BR/>Needless to say, most SPM students - unless they get JPA or GLC scholarships, need to undergo pre-uni students on their own...<BR/><BR/>But great idea. I may not be bright (STPM forecast CGPA: 2.17), but there are many bright students with perfect or near-perfect scores going to mediocre local and overseas unis. <BR/><BR/>For American education at top American universities (as in Harvard, Princeton, Yale, etc.), there is odd mentality amongst bright students to prefer elsewhere because the course is shorter or so that they won't be a year older than their coursemates. Good luck with handling that mentality :-pAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1136524163029369402006-01-06T13:09:00.000+08:002006-01-06T13:09:00.000+08:00Hi Tony, Vanessa:I would like to help by providing...Hi Tony, Vanessa:<BR/><BR/>I would like to help by providing a Canadian perspective in your forum for all Malaysian friends. <BR/><BR/>As for the Summer 2006 Roadshow, arrangements can be made when Vanessa has finalized the schedule.<BR/><BR/>Tony, I am for your proposal on the Non-Profit Organisation on Education for Malaysians.Ah Kianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14686504498211625085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1136461865559236642006-01-05T19:51:00.000+08:002006-01-05T19:51:00.000+08:00Every effort in opening doors to excellent oversea...Every effort in opening doors to excellent overseas education to Malaysian students is a wonderful and worthy effort.

This is Vanessa, the one who's trying to set up a team for the roadshow. <BR/><BR/>To answer some queries : no we will not be invading the schools, we will be in contact with the administration. Based on last year's affirmative feedback from the various schools the roadshow visited, I don't forsee any problems. We just hope to expand the number of schools involved this year.<BR/><BR/>Jason Cheah: that is exactly what the roadshow aims to disclaim. Some of our participants indeed attend the Ivies and the Oxbridge schools and will be more than happy to provide you whatever information you want regarding applications. But we are not limiting our scope to those schools only. We want to show you what opportunites are available after SPM .. ALL opportunities, including applications to Oxbridge and the Ivies, but not limited to those universities. We aim to involve all sorts of education opportunities - from scholarships, to uuniversity sponsored financial aid, to exchange programs, and we want to show the means to garner information and funding for such programs.<BR/><BR/>Tony: Thank you for the plug, and leep in touch!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1136398070137793782006-01-05T02:07:00.000+08:002006-01-05T02:07:00.000+08:00Jason - there are definitely more good unis in the...Jason - there are definitely more good unis in the US than those three.
