On average, about 30 percent of the graduation class manages to secure a top top top US colleges. If you take KCL, LSE, St.Andrews, HKU, CU, and HKSTU and other famous non-US colleges into account, about 40 to 45 percent of its graduates can study in top colleges in the world. The admission statistic is fantastic and extraordinary.

I mention those schools because they are very good colleges
I do not know whether my requirement is "low". But as a parent, I would be very happy and satisfied if my kid could study in anyone of them.

Wake Forest U is within the top 30 in the USNews ranking for National US universities. Its annual intake is about 1,200. Because of that, not many Hong Kong people knows about this college.

agree, many of them are good universities, however, parents in HK usually would like their children to study in well-known US universities.  A friend of mine chose Boston University instead of Washington University in St Louis simply because they haven't heard the name of WashU  before.  In fact, BU only rank 51 but WashU rank 14 in 2013 Best Colleges.

I guess that the admission rate of BU is around 30% to 40%.In case of WashU at St. Louis, it is around 10% to 20%.
The relative low admission rate of Wash U indicates that it is a more popular college than BU (even we ignore the ranking for a moment).

I really do not understand why your friend did not choose Wash U. He/She should not make an application to Wash U if he/she was not interested in Wash U.

With all due respect, this is a very impressive admission list indeed.

It would be the envy of any top prestigous high schools in the world.  

For the avoidance of doubt of my bias:  I do not know anyone who goes to HKIS.  I do not even know where it is.  But I do have a preference for Liberal Arts Colleges.

Not an acceptance list, only an offer list.

An elite can have more than 5 great offers, but only take one offer finally. The list only reflect part of the story or truth, same for other schools.

回復 ANChan59 的帖子

Nowadays it is very difficult to get 2 to 3 great offers. If it does, the number of students would not be many, say around 10.
Usually, the applicants would make application to 3 dream schools (the offers are great), 3 to 4 reach schools and 3 to 4 safety schools.

Further, if one intends to study in the USA, he would normally focus on the USA applications and would not make applications to UK or Canada. Again, the number of students holding great offers from UK, Canada and the USA colleges is not many.

I believe the admission list fairly reflect the performance of the students as a whole.

HKIS used to publish the matriculation list until 2011.

Legacy only plays a part in case of borderline case. Even so, if your parents do not make donations each year consistently for ten plus years, I think legacy is useless.
Development office cases have edges. However, the number of development office case is not many each year. Maybe there are one to three cases in a typical year.

If you read the average SAT and AP scores for their website, you will know why their acceptance list is so impressive as said by some posters here.

I don't think average SAT and AP scores are necessarily the major reasons of HKIS' excellent college acceptances. Nowadays, excellent SAT and AP/ IB scores can't guarantee admission into top U.S. colleges anymore, since almost everyone who applies has each SAT component score of 700+. Looking at the figures presented in HKIS' profile, the mean SAT scores of 641 in CR, 682 in Math and 658 in Writing wouldn't actually qualify anyone to gain admission to these elite colleges we are talking about earlier. (but of course, the MEAN score does not exactly reflect the academic excellency of some particular students) But if you compare these figures to CIS (http://www.cis.edu.hk/data/files ... l_profile_12132.pdf), where mean SAT scores of Class of '12 are 669 in CR, 704 in Math and 677 in Writing, figure wise, CIS' students appear more "worth" to their excellent college placements.
I brought up legacy as one of the contributing factors of HKIS' college acceptances because I have indeed seen such cases. (not only from HKIS, but also from other IS)

近年改變了少少收生程序,先考性向測驗HAST(因為沒有會考作參考),然後Challenge Da ...
Annie, 你見多識廣,可信性高。但得兩年𧨾程,學生個底差D便追不到。

  How did you like the experience?

It is my younger daughter who will enter LPCUWC this coming year. She longs for it and we fully support her.

Just enjoy that.

If a school fit your daughter, go for it.

The culture that it encourages its students to pursue their dreams instead of merely academic scores. I heard RCHK is doing similar things through its scholarship program, although RCHK is still not yet as well established as LPCUWC.

Yes, you hit the point. For academic, students and parents should choose SPCC, DBS, ........first.

Don't mix up : UWC's mission is to

"Make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future"


BTW, my niece is now studying IBDP Year 1 at RCHK. She gets a full-year scholarship for the coming year (only 3 of them in that year). Academic attainment is only part of the selection criteria.

I thought scholarship program for RC is only available from Year 7 and onwards

读书呢加野, 重要是:

1) 基本能力 (根系唔系好似我甘用超慢速度睇书, 都要两日, 重系明白得D甘多).
2) mind set 良好, (即无想过自己有办不到的事, 够天真!)
3) dream,big heart, (即大想头兼钟爱发白日梦)

基本能力是可以训练, 其他 2) & 3), 有就有, 无就无, 孩子无左heart, 就好难'implant' 番落去, 是情怀不再了.  只要孩子无物大缺失, 就要全力保住其 2) & 3) 的优点.  第一点不过是top 30% , 有几难?  (当然我依然未达标, 但像你们达标的真系非常多).

其实我好钟意LPCUWC的家长妈妈, 孩子看似不一样, 妈妈却有十分相近的共通点. 还是要说: 孩子出色, 是妈妈的功劳!!!!

"成班人申请, 个个有得做writing assessment, top 30% 就有得interview, interview 就是interview, 睇吓间学校岩唔岩你, 你又岩唔岩间学校而已,  唔会番转头起细查你系咪英数的top 5% ,再加埋大堆香港最强, 讲来讲去, 是搅清楚大家夹唔夹, 唔夹就唔好因误会而结合吧!.

比起名校的过五关, 斩六将, 要找top 2 % students , 系咪简单得多?

其他江湖传闻, 不是抹黑, 就是作大, 这间学校非常有教育理想, 读得好否?  是否欣赏? 依然因人而异! 因为有公款, 资源没被错配就好了.

忘记了我同间学校一点关系也没有, 所说的话也许是跟江湖传闻,不相白仲呢!"







Can't agree you more.

I mean IBDP Year 1, i.e. Grade 11, 12?

For those who are interested to know more about the non-academic education provided by LPCUWC, they can find the information here:

Education Outside The Classroom (EOTC):-

http://www.lpcuwc.edu.hk/what-we-do/eotc

Quan Cai (IB CAS) programme:-

http://www.lpcuwc.edu.hk/uploads ... ities%202013-14.pdf


p.s. The programme is at the heart of EOTC and takes place on Monday evening, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoon and evening and at weekends. That means there will be no lessons on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoon.     
Some academic-orientated parents may not accept it. Like me!

I am not familiar with RC though many other IB schools offer scholarships as well.  But I have a tough time seeing how other schools can be comparable since LPC is filled almost exclusively with students of that caliber whereas other schools will only have a handful.
