is good school, wash u in st Louis is good too, its top 20.  USNA is a surprise, its very difficult to get in.  aside from physical fitness test, they need a very strong reference letter.

其實當中有些相當唔錯的學校,  當然亦有些相當差的學校啦.

The graduation class has 175 students.

On average, about 30 percent of the graduation class manages to secure a top top top US colleges. If you take KCL, LSE, St.Andrews, HKU, CU, and HKSTU and other famous non-US colleges into account, about 40 to 45 percent of its graduates can study in top colleges in the world. The admission statistic is fantastic and extraordinary.

It's an offer list or acceptance list? The total number >>> no of students.

I mention those schools because they are very good colleges
I do not know whether my requirement is "low". But as a parent, I would be very happy and satisfied if my kid could study in anyone of them.

Wake Forest U is within the top 30 in the USNews ranking for National US universities. Its annual intake is about 1,200. Because of that, not many Hong Kong people knows about this college.

agree, many of them are good universities, however, parents in HK usually would like their children to study in well-known US universities.  A friend of mine chose Boston University instead of Washington University in St Louis simply because they haven't heard the name of WashU  before.  In fact, BU only rank 51 but WashU rank 14 in 2013 Best Colleges.

I guess that the admission rate of BU is around 30% to 40%.In case of WashU at St. Louis, it is around 10% to 20%.
The relative low admission rate of Wash U indicates that it is a more popular college than BU (even we ignore the ranking for a moment).

I really do not understand why your friend did not choose Wash U. He/She should not make an application to Wash U if he/she was not interested in Wash U.

got admission from both universities, but finally they chose BU.  they said BU is more well-known in HK besides it is located in a city but WashU is in mid-west.  I heard some universities are grouping HK and China students in same group so chance of getting in becomes more slim.  Another friend's sister joined Brown instead of WashU, that I could understand.
