CIS university placement record

tumtum

Today I heard a comment about CIS not really having a good placement record with US Ivy League universities.  I wonder if it is true.  Is that info available somewhere?  I tried to look it up on the CIS website but don't think it is there, or maybe I had missed it.

我都想知，因為我亦係聽有家長咁講......我聽返嚟的唔係話Ivy League的placement唔好，係直情話整體來說入到英美好的大學也不是很多，很普通而已。這和我以前聽說的很不一樣......他們應該有很強的consultant團隊。

Actually, many liberal arts colleagues offer great undergraduate education, top ones are arguably even better than Ivy Leagues in undergraduate education, but much lesser known in Asia.

Their students always do pretty good, I personally know two girls went to , one is admitted to MIT and the other one to georgetown

The university placement is actually better than eg hkis or some of the best local schools already.  In order to get into Ivy leagues, it's better to study abroad in US top high schools.

Don't forget, parents of kids in CIS probably has connections to certain Universities aboard, so one must take that into account as well.

美國好的大學,  大部份不考慮IB, 報親美國大學都考SAT

好多學生, 自己考SAT ,去報

另外, 美國 將香港與大陸學生, 一齊看

97前, 2個地方, 分開計限額

而家2個地方的限額,一齊看, 令競爭加大

入頂尖大學頂尖的科已幾乎不可能咁濟


俾你入到美國頂尖大學, 多數都係2線科

一線科, 無份

美國大學, 俾英國較多的限額

所以在美國, 或英國讀高中

再報美國頂尖大學

比在香港讀書報容易得多


我舉例

一個ISF 小朋友考入princeton , 當時讀studies

人地話睇, 是昆你

Do you mean that IB is useless in application of US universities? And is math studies considered too easy and useless?

好似同我理解有出入喎。SAT是一個initial screening, 名校收咁多申請，會以SAT分數做screening, 低於某個分根本不會睇。美國大學選學生會考慮成績及其他活動，學生要提供9、10、11同12年級上學期成績、IB predicted grade及課外活動資料，它們根據學生幾年來的成長經歷而出offer, 好多是unconditional, IB最後考試成績已不大重要，當然如與predicted grade有太大落差，學校亦會詢問。這都是女兒學校councillor 提供的資料，他們亦説有些美國大學已不要SAT成績。

人家孩子是否最終入讀那所名校，查來干啥？

管他進得了，進不了，我家孩子正在攪邊科才重要嘛！

Don't think that is what he meant.  He was referring to subject selection/importance of IB.
I wouldn't put much weight on what he said anyway.  People get admitted into colleges/universities and not majors.   1線科 vs 2線科 is nonsense.

US  college admission is as mysterious as any decision made by any cabinet of any government.

If you are not US passport or Green Card holder, you need to be those top 5 students in your country for admission to the top 3 Ivies. If you are an US citizen or holder of green card, you are competing with others US citizens for the 92 percent (approximately) of the available spaces. Ivies are known to admit about 8 percent of foreign students.
