唔知SPCC網上個list係唔係final,如果係，就真係差咗啲。在我嘅年代 ，十幾年前，一年有十幾二十人入Ivy lea ...

其實唔止SPCC係咁，其他如DGS、DBS、皇仁咁唧本地名校，近幾年入倒Ivy League/Stanford/Chicago等大學，已經一年少過一年。
此現象，值得深思。

Easily understandable. Quota is fixed but supply is unlimited. See how many elite students from the Mainland. The number will keep dropping. Sad but true.

我認識某間美國預尖大學的入學處人員，他告訴我過去三年，大陸學生的申請人數急速上升了１０倍！不是一兩倍，而是１０倍。

另外，在美國的亞洲學生日子也不好過，美國的大學要種族平衡。亞洲家庭由於注重教育，所以一向成績遠超其他種族，但如果亞洲學生學額不增加，他們的入讀美國頂尖大學的機會也會愈來愈低，所以把子女早送出去讀中學也不一定有用。

其實過去幾年，HYP每年每間都收左六、七個香港學校嘅學生，不過就唔係本地傳統名校啫。

Direct from SPCC or those who went to SPCC, studied abroad and then went on to a good university?  I know many people who took the second route but hardly anyone through the first route

Or have you considered that students of LS are not as well-rounded?  Admission is not just about scores.

I am talking about 15-20 years ago. This is not the completed or most accurate list as I just recalled from my friends circle + hearsay.... I recalled 4 x U Penn, 1 x Chicago, 2 x Cornell, 1 x Dartmouth, 1 x Princeton, 1 x Berkeley.  Some "less famous" offers were to U Mich, USC, UCLA, etc.  I also heard that some people I am not familiar with went to Yale/Stanford..... not sure..... For US universities, most of the students finish HKCEE and applied, then left after lower 6.  

I know that some other went on to UK left after AL.  Some go to LBS, Cambridge/Oxford after AL.  Not too sure for UK though since I left before AL as well.

Above are all direct from SPCC.

For non-direct, I know some went to Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Cornell, Brown, UPenn, Stanford, MIT, etc, etc.....

Btw, there are also chances that many top tier students nowadays prefer to study medical in local universities, rather than going US or UK studying finance or business or engineering (yeah, don't laugh, engineering is for top students too in my times....) 15, 20 years ago.

如果係叻女，就算唔讀呢2間IB, 我識成十個八個中三或中六先過去英國讀英國名中都憑亮麗的成績入到Cambridge，其中三個所讀的學校更是排到成110，不是Westminster, St Paul Girls咁top嘅學校。

For the USA problem, everyone is going to have different opinion...
but honestly, if you are top notch at academics, you will not be completely rejected FOR SURE. Some universities (Columbia, for example) are just so apparently academic-oriented over their so-called "holistic approach".
Perhaps there are fewer and fewer local students getting into top universities but schools are trying to improve their students' chances already. DBS and DGS, for example, both have excellent counselors to also 'polish' each application to USA universities. However the number of students applying is just way too high, so it is becoming more and more like a game of luck.

英國有成千間中學，排110唔差喇。

Hi CPU1995,
Those that you know who went to Cambridge, I wonder what subjects they took.  I have this question because when I looked at the school websites of a number of UK schools, I noticed that most of the Oxbridge entrants took "non-professional" subjects like natural sciences, languages, philosophy and history etc.  I wonder if it also holds true in the case of students coming from HK.

我所識的朋友1個Oxford Biochem, 4個Cambridge Med, 1個Cambridge Eng Literature, 1個應是Cambridge Science subject, 其餘冇問到她們，她們未去英國在港都是幾叻的學生，但又不是最Top嘅學生，其中1個更是在港讀Band one尾band two頭的學校。

李寶椿國際書院收录的学生,几乎肯定合适入聖保羅男女中學,

考入聖保羅男女中學的学生, 就未必合适读李寶椿國際書院

Agree, but the statement is disputatious.
