<p>Not sure if you know this - Singapore JC = 11th and 12th grade high school, not 2-year comm colleges. Most top Singaporean students head to JCs, so I hope you don’t think the JC is like some tiny CC.</p>
<p>I’m unsure about the numbers. Now that you mention it, the website implies they’re from all schools with “Where possible, the Total Admits for Singapore reflect only JC students”. However, the heading of “RJC JC2 2003, to enter college in 2004” would then be misleading. </p>
<p>The class size for this JC (Raffles JC) is about 1000. This comprises the top 2% of all Singaporeans born in that year [or about 10% of those who will eventually head to college]. So, having 119 applicants to UMAA is -not- out of the question.</p>
<p>I do believe the admit rate for Cornell could be 59%. First off, the applicant pool is self-selecting. Those students who are looking to go abroad are those who are competitive for the top schools HYPSMC already, or are wanting to go to Cornell. That’s because the scholarships offered by the government are limited, and only top students will stand a chance. Not many un-admittable students would apply, because of lack of funding. Second, Cornell lurves Singapore students, for the reasons I highlighted above. </p>
<p>FYI - This is not a clearinghouse, just a useful website put up by the JC.</p>
