We all know not every school are equally created, some may have fare well in certain subjects, some may have fare well in overall world ranking.
Let's rule out all other aspects,
right now if you are to choose your uni between the aspect of world and subject ranking, which one will you go for?

e.g
World :
Uni of Edinburgh #17
Monash Uni #69

Subject (Acc & Finance) :
Uni of Edinburgh #48
Monash Uni #20
*based on QS ranking

[Advice]TARC A-Level

@secret@ — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 19:15:46 +0800

I know there is a lot of colleges out there offering A-Level,from reputable to some small sizes colleges.I do have some financial hardships. So I need to make the right investment just to make sure I can at least further until a degree.

Cost of A-Level in TARC as stated in its website is around 11k-13k. It's so much affordable compared to A-Level in Taylor or Inti. But my question is ''Is A-Level in TARC worth it?''. How is the quality of lecturers there and the whole package (facilities,advantages of further studies etc)?

I hope some alumnis or current students can clear my doubt.

Freshman or Transfer Applicant?

@secret@ — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 23:34:46 +0800

Having look through hundreds of overseas university admission requirement,something trapped my mind. Undergraduate programme,their normal entry requirement is to finish high school with STPM/A-Level etc
my doubt is,should a diploma holder considered as freshman applicant or transfer applicant? Just take TARC diploma or any private colleges' diploma as example.

And a freshman applicant gets more options for scholarships & financing. Does a diploma qualification makes it hard for the holder to apply undergraduate study at Uni?

Can somebody helps?

@secret@ — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 15:33:31 +0800

Hi guys。..I'm still doing my high school program. I intend to further my studies in Business field. I should have no problem to pass the min entry requirement for admission of all these Pre-U Course.

I wanted to do Business Administration or other related course.

But I just wondered what Pre-U Course will be the right choice or the most suitable one for me.

How/What it's like?
Heard A-Level is academic based,Canadian matriculation is more student-centered,focus on students' personal development.Isn't it true?
Is Canadian Matriculation a joke?

What about American Degree Transfer?

*Anyone know any school(international school/college) delivery programme based on/for SAT Test?

Best place to study business?
From what I know, USA is the best place to study business,then followed by UK. is this true?
But Canada is not a bad choice for me too, I'm kinda love the environment there,life's pretty easy, salary is considered ok also...

Future
The best world-qualified pre-u course certificate would be?

Still,wondered which pre-u course I supposed to do to secure a better future.

p/s:Guess for some people,all these are actually the same,success comes from hard work...

By the way,I am not that kind of studyholic. I just want to make learning as easy as possible.
