Amazing Stats for Singapore students entering US universities… Any comments on this?
<p>Do Anyone Have Such Stats For Canadian Students?????</p>
<p>this is just for one elite high school.</p>
<p>generalizing these stats as singaporean would be equivalent to considering TJHS or Phillips Andover as representative of the average american high school.</p>
<p>Berkeley has a market. Ann Arbor taking SO many more than Berkeley? What's wrong with that? Berk needs to take it's affirmative actioned head out of its anti asian butt and start realizing that this is where it's at.</p>
<p>that applies to cornell... 38% of people applied got into it...</p>

<p>What's the big deal? There are loads of people from Europe and around Asia too.</p>
<p>I thought some students from Singapore came to the U.S. with their tuition pad by their government. Or am I thinking of another country?</p>
<p>Anyway, if that's the case then it stands to reason it's a pretty competitive process, getting to be one of them.</p>

<p>I don't think affirmative action has anything to do with these numbers. I strongly suspect U-M takes a lot of Singaporean students because U-M has considerably more flexibility in the number of non-residents it enrolls.</p>

<p>Perhaps. But I also heard that on top of all As on their A levels, they don't have to score Distinction on all their "S" papers to get scholarships (I have a few Singaporean friends). Also, there is an upward trend in the number of A grades obtained at A levels in Hong Kong and Singapore over the past few years. I've also heard that Chinese and Indian students who go to the Singapore schools often do better than the locals.</p>
