杏壇絮語

‧每年8月中旬，英國高考成績放榜後，英國文化協會都會在港舉行「大學面試招生會」，獲得取錄的同學，可以趕及在9月底10月初赴英升大，十分方便。夏里巴每年在招生會都見到一個十分怪異的現象，就是各校攤位總是擠滿了學生，大學雖然在攤位前豎了一個牌，註明「醫科、商科、ｘｘ科滿座」，可是同學還是要問。一些排名稍低的大學，但見門可羅雀，世態炎涼，於此可見一斑。

‧一所排名頗高的英國大學，商科尤其出色，不少學生在GCE A-level三科拿 ‘BBC’ 的成績，也被饗以閉門羹。可是，說來你也許不相信，有家長告訴我，他的兒子在高考考獲 ‘CDD’，居然獲這間英國名牌大學取錄。最令人百思不得其解的是，大學告訴這位港生，今年取錄他入讀Foundation Year，但保證明年升讀大學商科第二年。教授們I.Q. 比常人高，信焉。

‧美國加州大學八所分校中，UCLA每年有五萬多人申請。分校中第二多學生申請的學院是UC Berkeley，48,650人報考，僅10,528人獲取錄。

‧讓我靜靜告訴你，加州大學八所分校中，最易考取的是UC Riverside，去屆有22,744人報考，有17,762人獲取錄，這分校最多學生修讀的學科，分別是商科 ( 21% )、社會科學 ( 19% )，以及生物及生物醫學科學 ( 13% )。

‧芸芸澳洲大學中，Central Queensland University算是學費較廉宜的一所，據校方寄給我的最新資料，三年制商科年費僅為15,600至16,155澳元，基礎年更只收13,860澳元。
