<p>im not sure if i understand blairt's question. is the question out of all the asain applicants how many of them get in or out of all the applicants, how many are asain????????</p>
<p>out of asians, how many get in?</p>
<p>I've visited sps and my tour told me that out of 520, 20 students were from hong kong.</p>
<p>if you've been to one of the receptions in hong kong by hotchkiss, SPS or choate etc, you will know that there would be at least 200 kids attending...and most end up applying, plus the fact that 20 students averages to be 5 students accepted per year....</p>
<p>yeah, i know someone from hong kong who got in this year at Andover. she told me that many of them had similar ec's (piano, violin, mathlete, etc.) so most of them didn't get in. but my friend however, has some crazy talent for chinese painting, so thats why i think she got in.</p>
<p>man, if only i could be like, hmong or something haha that would soo work better than being chinese/korean/japanese/taiwanese/indian, etc. (srry if i missed a few) </p>
<p>haha no, even better- from LAOS. :D :D</p>
<p>okay my point was: is it easier to be an asian applying for 9th or a white kid applying for 11th (11th grade admit rates are around 8-10% for andover and exeter, which is normally about 20%, and 13-20% for st. georges, which is usually around 28%..so aroundddd twice as competitive)</p>
<p>Westover is about 20% asian (mostly koreans.)</p>
<p>okay... BUT HOW MANY APPLIED FOR THOSE SPOTS? nobody is gettting my question.</p>
<p>NO ONE KNOWS.</p>
<p>I will go ask my admissions staff, hold on.</p>
<p>Ok, let me amend the previous numbers I posted: The rate is actually 4%. (=O) I thought it was much higher, lol.</p>
<p>No, of course not, eel. It's just that while Asian applicants are also compared to the broader applicant pool, they're extremely competitive people as a race and therefore are compared against each other sometimes, to eliminate spots, because all of them are good, though the school needs diversity, and having half Asian students is not going to succeed to that.</p>
<p>this is just something i know.
ONly 2 people went to exeter last year from hk and one of them was a kid from my school. He was the smartest kid here at our school, but he says he's only average at exeter.</p>
<p>Every school has a quota for Asians (and lots of other groups) which means the Asian applicants compete against each other for those spots.</p>
<p>which school do u go to boardingschoolsp?</p>
<p>i go to hkis in hk the best private school in hk.</p>
<p>Hi! I'm new here. Cool SITE!!!! Anyways, I was wondering if the fact that I'm living in Germany currently, will help my being asian.</p>
<p>Probably in some schools, but I am guessing. I think some schools count the country that your parents live in (the country from which you applied) rather than your nationality.</p>
<p>hkis?? as in island school?</p>
<p>The bottom line is that schools end up with the same percentage of Asians year after year. Whether you're Asian American, Asian from Asia or Asian from Germany, you're in that pool. However, I can see that you might have an advantage as they can also claim a kid from Germany, not a big deal at the top 5, but probably a plus below those.</p>
<p>hkis= Hong Kong International School</p>
