<p>Are all of them incredible smart? My guess is yes. If so what is it about their educational system that makes them the best?</p>
<p>All of them? Is every teen in China incredibly smart? Hardly. In group that big there are bound to be some at the low end. </p>
<p>You are probably looking at a selection bias. Most the ones that travel abroad to study are very smart. The dumb ones have to stay home.</p>
<p>Only about 10000 chinese students come to USA every year. Top 10000/1,000,000,000 = 0.00001= top 0.001 percent</p>
<p>chinese teens are not all smart!!!!
take me forexample:
I can't write for shizel
No award
SAT 1400 (after 3 pathetic attempts)
SAT II 780, 640, 630 (with studying)
even after i study i am still stupid!!!!!!!
i got like no ecs and is probably going to get rejected to all 8 schools i am applying to:
already rejected from Stanford!!!! (even though i wasn't expecting much from that but i am still depressed.)anyway
as you can c, i am pretty dumb but i am chinese. Therefore, to conclude, i would like to say not "ALL" chinese teens are smart, there are a few exceptions such as myself :(</p>
<p>oh come on newby, your stats aren't terrible. they are definetely in the top 10 percent of all US applicants</p>
<p>chinese teens are not all smart. i mean, intellectually, we're just like anyone else in the world. but traditionally, most chinese study hard. it's like this standard for everyone. STUDYING IS OUR LIFE. i guess it's just cultural differences.</p>
