Think studying in the States is an impossible dream? Read how our 2009 seminar participants turned that dream into reality! In fact, quite a number of them are returning to facilitate our 2010 seminars this year.

Workshop Registration

If you are still not convinced that our workshops would be useful in helping you prepare for the U.S. college application process, check out our 2009 Admits List. Our 2009 workshop participants have successfully gotten admission into some of the best U.S. colleges such as Yale, MIT, Stanford, UPenn, Cornell, Dartmouth and University of California. Here’s what they have to say regarding the seminar!

While waiting for our workshops, we recommend that you start preparing. Here are tons of awesome resources to get you started!

This workshop is organized by a bunch of young alumni, current students and incoming students of top US Universities. All of them are volunteer and would be facilitating the workshops. These workshops would share to you their personal experience in getting into such top universities. So, it is not an official sharing by the university.

Credits to Taylor’s University College Lakeside Campus, INTI International College Penang, Kinabalu International School and Lodge Secondary School for being the Venue Sponsor.

This event is supported by American Universities Alumni Malaysia and Descartes Educational Counselling Centre.

Any question, do contact us at usapps2010 AT gmail DOT com .

p/s: If you have studied in US universities or have just gotten admission to US universities and would like to join us as facilitator to share with the students, do email us at usapps2010 AT gmail DOT com .
