If you come across any other write-ups or useful resources for U.S. Applications, do let me know, so that I can consolidate here.

Am calling all those Class of 2013 who have gone through the application process, to write and share. Do hope that you will share it through various platforms - your blog/website, forum, and I'll definitely be more than happy to share what you have written here too.

Would also strongly encourage all of you who have gone through the process to go back to your alma mater (high school, preparatory program) to share on what you know and guide the younger batch.

Lets hope that we can all work together to stimulate the applications and admission rate next year!

Hey Chen Chow,

Philip is editing the video recording of our HELP US education seminar. It should be ready in a week or so.(considering the amount of free time he has....) We also have the slides waiting to be uploaded.

Tara made an excellent presentation on writing application essays. Its so superb and complete, you can't help but fawn over it.

Also, don't forget Xian Jin's excel table on US colleges Financial Aid policies. I recall you posting it up before.

Great! Once those slides are uploaded, do let me know the link. Will link it.

Great to hear that Tara did an excellent presentation! :) Did she present with some slides or without slides at all?

Yes. Will look for Xian Jin's link and post it up.

Thanks.
