Salam..
first of all, congrats for passing your scholarship interview.
you have to keep in mind that not everyone get's this once in a lifetime chance.
dont blow it.
SPM - done.
Interview - passed.
ADFP - ?
ok, in ADFP, you WILL be embarking on very unfamiliar territories.
no matter what type of school you went to, or where you come from, it's gonna be different.
you will be meeting a variety of people with a whole range of skills. dont be intimidated, once you get to know them, they're kinda nice.
if you're studying in INTEC, the next big thing would be class distribution.
you will be divided into classes based on your english proficiency (to make SAT classes a lot easier).
before that, you will be given a test on english. trust me, it's a very simple test that kinda separates the smartasses from the rest.
being in the top class gives you A LOTTT OF ADVANTAGES. trust me, work for it.
i worked my ass out to get into the top class and guess what, it was worth it
in my batch, all of the INTEC debaters came from the first class, bank negara scholars, khazanah and all the kiasu jpa scholars fill up this class.
to be frank, i've never met a more skilled and talented group of people in one class.
being in the 2nd class is still great coz it's pretty much the same as the first.
not saying that all the other classes suck, it's just that the top 2 is waayyy awesome.
besides, getting into the top classes will actually give you enough pressure to push you all the way for your SAT and TOEFL. if i'm not mistaken, no one from the first class got under 3.0 gpa and 1100 SAT score.
not saying that we rock and all, it's just that the expectations that people put on us, pushes us to study hrder and become more kiasu.
what's kiasu ? google it. =D
