<p>One of my goals is actually expanding my client’s minds about what constitutes a good education in the US. I’ve heard that often, it’s actually more the parents than the students who are HYPS-obsessed. At the same time, I do somewhat understand parents’ concerns to maximize success for their only child, and by their standards, this means HYPS (let’s be honest, HYPS get the creme of the crop and are able to cherry-pick their students according to their own standards). For a lot of poorer students, it’s only the top colleges that actually provide FA to internationals though obviously this group is broader than HYPS (includes Grinnell for example). Also, as it stands, I do believe Harvard grads get more perks in China just for being Harvard grads. I would like this to change, but this is how it is in China right now.</p>
