<p>fiona,</p>
<p>Cornell only admits about 17% of their students from other countries and US possessions (like Puerto Rico and Guam). This means that they admit fewer than 500 undergraduate students in this category. While it is not impossible, I find it extremely unlikely that 100 of these students are solely from Singapore (since we still have to allow for students from Great Britain, Australia, China, France, Germany, Spain, the Scandinavian countries, the Middle East, India, Malaysia, Vietnam, Korea, Japan, South America and the rest).</p>
<p>I do agree with your comments on FA at these colleges and at the UCs, though.</p>
<p>P.S. I also have no idea what college UMAA is?</p>
