You don't need to rush to enter college - there are always midyear intakes, or even go next year. The colleges and the scholarships will still be there. This opportunity - or the timing - might not come around again. Best to take it when you can. It may also help you with scholarships and college applications as it shows a different side of yourself as well as the ability to be independent, learn from other cultures, etc. You can always delegate someone to collect your results for you. You might want to write an authorization letter - "I, Hui Ming of IC# 1230598324 authorize So and So IC # 324829304 to collect my SPM results on my behalf as I am in the United States" - though I'm not entirely sure that's necessary. You can also do many things online. It looks like participants for the Year program must be in Form 5 anyway, so I'm sure AFS will be able to provide insight as this is a situation they must be expecting. You can contact them at info-mas@afs.org Basically - GO FOR IT. It is an experience of a lifetime, so take it while you can! Good luck! Hi Hui Ming,

From the website, it is stated we will only return on July 2007. My main concern is that i will not be able to return on time to get my spm results and proceed with my other application like college enrolment, scholarship application etc, would it be wise for us to take part in this programme? If yes, how should I deal with my proceedings in Malaysia since I'm in the states? Hi Tiara,
