Hi glad to hear that you had a similar experience.I'm not sure if we should start a new topic per se.  Lessons learned here -- minority opinions are not always welcomed in the forums.  How about we just chat via PM?

Same for anyone who's interested in discussing the alternative ways to get our kids into top US colleges, please use PM.

20 sounds about right each year.  These should be students that are based in HK and admitted into the school regardless of their citizenship.  Alumni would have a good sense of this especially those who helped with interviews since there is a list of admitted students who are interviewed in HK.  This is pretty much true across the various Ivies.  There would be other students from HK but who are in US, UK or Canadian boarding schools now.  There really isn't a good way to count those since they may have foreign citizenship and use a foreign permanent address.

I don't see how you are not being "welcomed" here.  Other than you needling Shootastar about not having studied abroad, this has just been a discussion with different opinions.  Also don't see why people would agree with you if they have another set of facts to back up their opinion.

Does anyone know whether universities in UK focus much less on aspects other than academics (eg extra-curricular ) ? In other words , scores mean everything  for UK universities .

Thanks for your sharing.

The more we debate, the more facts come out. I love exchanging views with others (so long as I have the necessary knowledge) and even arguing or debating, however I hate those who have lost their decorum or vilified others.

However, I do have a theory on why LS students are finding it harder and harder to get into top US colleges ...

I'm not interested in the debate but I'm interested in your theory, may be it is more productive to share this? (in a new thread if you prefer) {:1_1:}

Hey, pls calm down. Most parents here are very helpful, provide lots of useful information to the new mothers like me. I have learnt a lots here. We just express our own feeling, no rights or wrongs, very subjective.
