[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw saw some Chinese guy’s reel about how Chinese kids who can’t get into China’s top schools easily get into American top schools.

Buddy, is it because they cheat and copy other people’s work?  Is that how they study here too? I’m weary of sending my kid to a college with a large Asian presence.[/quote]

Buddy, maybe do a little research.
The Chinese system for college is based on ONE exam and you only have a single shot at it.
Their students start preparing for it in middle school and they have to stay on track. Some families are not confident about their kids and so they take them off that track and attend international schools instead and so schools abroad are the only outcome for that alternative track. There is no undoing it because it would be too late.

This is the same case for Japan, Taiwan and Korea. That single exam is a legacy of the imperial service examination. You only get one shot at it.

Now how they perform here and cheat, well, I can tell you that I knew a good number of white students at my Seven Sisters college who were buying essays and papers. I watched one friend basically write the thesis for another friend right before graduation because the department advisor said she wouldnt' walk if there was no thesis handed in. The finishing touch was that this girl's parents were there for graduation and knew what was happening and wanted that thesis ghost written too.[/quote]
