As a ESF parent myself, I would like to know which school are you referring to here. Thanks.

Speaking only for US universities, the kind of universities (ie UCLA) that you are targeting for your child is very hard to get into. My friend's daughter who's living in the states has a 3.8 GPA and 1400 SAT yet cannot get into any UCs (let alone the second best UC that you are targeting) thanks to the affirmative action / measures creating more opportunities for other ethnic minorities excluding Asians. I would say the chance for a DSE student to get into any of the top universities is extremely slim unless he/she has extraordinary grades and very exotic / unique service learning experience.
The best bet for you is to get your child into a community college in the states after DSE, make sure he/she got a decent GPA and transfer to those top universities.

For UCLA, Mt Sac community college would be a good option as a stepping stone.

There is one case I've heard of in which a family sent both kids to UCLA.  Both kids went to KGV and they got an IB score of 42 or something, not extremely high though.  But they did enroll directly in UCLA undergraduate program, not through any community college transfer program.   I don't think it is as difficult as you described, although it is definitely not an easy task.

Thanks for your sharing. I'm saying it is hard for DSE student to get directly into UCLA unless they have really good grades and very unique and different service learning experience.
As for IB, 42 is generally recognized as very good grade ( enough to get into Cambridge medical school / barely made into medical programs in HK).

Really? I thought 44/45 would match the requirement of Ivy/Oxbridge; 41 - 43 would be good for 1st tier schools, including UCLA.  Thx for your info
Good DSE grades + ECA + unique community service experience + impressive personal statement to present your goals in life...  Life isn't easy at all

似乎英國大學好似要求簡單少少，成績+personal statement 可以應付大部分大學同學科

美国大学一直以来都比较着重全人教育，不会单看成绩，但据我所知，如果从community college２年　转校到名大学读第３年，却基本上只看成绩。只是一般来说，接受跳船，而又是有名的学校，通常都是public universities, 包括UCB, UCLA, UNC等等。要直接入top private universities读本科, 是非常困难的。

最近同一個有仔女已英、美既家長傾計，佢都話呢個方法一啲都唔容易。所以想入美國top 既大學，最好都係至少高中係美國讀而成績亦一定要好。

連入public school都唔易？喺community college攞A係比較易嘅事，除非底子非常差同埋唔勤力

如果一开始就target top private u, 读community college就肯定是错误的部处啦。不过，其实undergrad 读top public school, 毕业后的就业机会是没有太多分别。

如果以升英美大學的成績而論，最好的幾間係 GSIS CIS HKIS ISF。而 ESF 來說 Shatin College 最好，KGV 同 ...

我做過粗略估算，以升讀全球50 大學（包括香港三大）為basis , CIS 最勁超過50%，ESF 同 HKIS 超過30%；50大內其中ESF 的學生4成是香港三大，HKIS 七成美國，CIS 八成英美！
