| "Beats me why the humans people are applying to Stanford and not Harvard or Yale"
According to my dad who's a prof at NTU, its because Singapore has a much closer relationship with Stanford in that it seems at the top of the heirachy- most would have various associations with Stanford so its like as if its more recognised and accepted than say someone from Princeton. The vice-chancellor and deans and stuff there mostly have Stanford degrees so the Stanford alum network is seemingly stronger than say for Harvard or Princeton. |
