Hey there,
I am a newbies too introduced by Al... I received messages occasionally and find interest in Universities to apply Manila. Since KT is in this line, I should ask you about how's the response at your universities?
I recently visit an Australian university where they reno most of their previous stuffs on net. I have sent my response to them...
