I guess you are talking about this list. http://www.at0086.com/rank/en-us/20080129210013968.html Anyway, I understand you have applied to more than one school. What you really need to do is to find out more information about each of the schools you have applied to and see which one would suit you best.
If you are worried that the GSIS kids come from rich families, wait until you see the ones at CIS. I am sure there are CIS parents owning private jets. It's just that you won't see their planes waiting outside school. :D Having said that, I am sure there are also some CIS kids coming from middle class or not so well-off families The truth is that a lot of the GSIS parents are expatriates working in large corporations. You may say they are well off and that's all. I have the feeling that you are overly concerned with this "rich family" issue. This may not do you any good. If you hold this belief that the GSIS kids are pompous, then you will put up a guard around you without you knowing about it. But people around you will feel it and they will shun you. My advice to you is this - be friendly and be yourself. Try to look deeper into people and don't judge anybody by their wealth or family background.
Assuming you are going to the International stream, there will probably be around 50 to 60 people in Year 12. A lot of them have parents of different nationalities so one can't really tell the ratio of Chinese to foreign students. It is a relatively small school, so people are comparatively close to each other. Ultimately, whether you can mix well with others would in fact depend a lot on your own attitude. It's your attitude and personality count more than anything else.
By the way, I heard that a student who received scholarship at GSIS got into Oxbridge not long ago. People admired him more because he was in need of financial assistance (hence the scholarship) in order to continue with his education in GSIS. Kids who have benz waiting for them outside school might not gain as many clapping of hands. Your target should be to try your best and realise your full potential. He can realise his dream, so can you.

. Although I am extremely grateful and happy about this, I would like to know whether the students at GSIS are kind and nice, or are arrogant and mean, so that I could do some sorts of preparation before I join the school in August this year. Thank you so much!
