How hard is it as Americans to get in there?

Depends. Oxford and Cambridge are extremely difficult. LSE much easier.

NP here. My first thought was, "what a ridiculous question, who wouldn't be?" Perhaps the real answer is that it depends heavily on the sector and the employer.

singapore might be a better option for you DD. It's 70% ethnic chinese but also an easier transition for the westerner.

Check out NUS.

China, Japan and Korea care a lot more about where you get your degree from than here. If you are thinking about working over there it may not be an bad idea. But getting into Tsinghua is extremely difficult.

This is true. If a US students is capable of getting into Tsinghua they should also be able to get into Harvard, Yale, etc and those degrees held by an American would sell better in China to employers than a Tsinghua degree. There is no real value added to by Tsinghua over a top Ivy (for an American). Also, it doesn't work in reverse. 90% of American companies in the US don't know what the hell TSinghua is and watch their eyes glaze over when she says "It is the top school in China." FOr jobs in US or China, top US school is the way to go
