To get admission to the top 10 univerisites in the UK is not difficult. If your question changes to the Oxbridge in the UK and the Ivy League or equivalent in the US, the results, if available, will b ...

唔係間間學校會 RELEASE D RESULT 出黎.
我自己孩子讀 ESF, 我印象中都睇過其他兩三間學校的 RESULT. 感覺係, 以 ESF 的學費 (即 = 資源) 而言, (其他都要 DEBENTURE,  即 "成本" 高了) 成績唔錯.

要明白, 間間學校學生背景唔同, ESF 一向都係主打英國大學, 而家亦多了好多本地學生, 因此, 多數學生留 HK 或去英國.

HKIS, CIS 學生來自較富裕家庭, 因此較少學生會留 HK.

另, 要留意美國加拿大都唔係入就入 MED, LAW, ARCHI, (有 D 連 ENGINEERING 都係) 等專科, 而係要讀一個 PRE-XXX PROGRAM, 讀得好先有得入科. 因此好多學生, 入美加大學都可能只係選讀一個看似 "冇料到" 的學科, 但其實可能會係一心入 MED 或 LAW SCHOOL 的.

所以睇數據都要識睇.

單單睇學校 SUPPORT, 和名氣, 我只有兩個選擇 : 有錢就入 HKIS 啦, 佢地有好多 SUPPORT, 尤其如果係要去美國, 佢地好熟要點幫學生. 如果負擔唔到, 就不如入最平的 ESF, 不過要留意, ESF 好少入美國大學的 SUPPORT, 要 TARGET 美國大學, 家長要自己做多 D  RESEARCH.

但, 讀書真係要睇個人努力. 我都識好多好 HEA 的學生, 求其入間大學 (美國除了有 IVY LEAGUE, 都有好多雞校), 去讀幾年, 都係大學生, 厄到一部份鄉親.

(純個人意見)

"Equivalent of Ivy League"?

There is no equivalent of course. Ivy League is not only a group of schools. It is an icon. I am not here to argue which school has the best law school or which school has the best team of chemisty teachers. Ivy League is Ivy League.

Of course, there are so many other schools that are very good. For instance, I would be as happy if my kids can get into Cal Tech, etc. But we just cannot say that those schools are equivalent of ivy league schools.

Apart from the class size, I think we should also bear in mind:-
(1) Other than Ivy League, there are other equally famous colleges in US.
(2) One year's outstanding result might not be repeated the next year or ever.
(3) The subject these students take make a difference as I am sure some subjects are infinitely more difficult to get in than the others.
(4) These data may make you feel good, but ultimately it means nothing if your kid is not one of them.

Well said.
