Hi, I would like to apply for Harvard 2 years later. I know that extra activity is one of the main criteria for me to secure a place in there. So could you tell me where can I join activities such as Leadership camp in Malaysia? I live in PJ, Selangor. Thx.
I would say that one of the main ingredients would be your initiatives.
And it is not just about participating, but you should strive to organize as well!
In my blog here, I do share on activities that I come across, but there are lots more around. Do check out http://facebook.com/educatingmalaysianyouth , http://www.calendata.com etc.
Good Luck!

Thanks for including the Student Union link! Two of our student writers have connections to Malaysia. Alex, from Uganda, did his undergraduate education in Malaysia. Rudro is actually from Malaysia and is working on a post about sources of financial aid and funding for Malaysians studying in the U.S. Hope you keep reading the blog and find it interesting.
Jessica, it is my pleasure! Great to hear that you have a good group of student writers and you really know the background of your writers!
All the best!
