I am a Chinese student myself, and I need financial aid to study in the States. In fact I know many more undergraduate students on aid (quite a few on full FA) than those who pay the tuition all by themselves, and I would NEVER,EVER assume that those who do not need financial aid are dumbs. For those who do not need aid, yes I have to admit that they are rich, but does being rich necessarily make them dumbs? It's their own choice to pay all the costs, and it's not something to be shamed of to be rich, I suppose?
Note that financial aid is not merit scholarship--it's simply based on need, on your family's finanical situation, but NOT how outstanding you are. I see from you previous posts that you've started the application process quite early, cracking all the exams even though you knew little English at the beginning--I'm really impressed by your determination and ambition, and I believe you are just as outstanding as any out there--but would you please think twice before you call others dumbs?
I don't know why you would have the impression that Chinese students are dumbs, but if any Chinese student has made you feel bad, I'm so sorry and I hope you won't judge all Chinese students based on what you have heard or seen. OK, there are all kinds of people here in China--nice and friendly ones, and stone-hearted and disgusting ones as well, but I'm pretty much sure this is the case in each and every country in the world, and Mongolia being no exception?

| As a matter of fact, you can see a lot of students in US universities. Most of them just pay the money for ESL program and transfer into schools. No exam. | |

| ^ thats seriously a bad joke....there are tons of hard-working chinese americans and gifted chinese internationals who are in the top schools....many of them attend on full aid, even for many whom are not, their parents used to be impoverished and strived hard to provide a better future for their children....who the hell are you to denigrate their efforts?
i'm not sure what kind of environment you grew up in/or horrible college experience you went thru that resulted in such a warped worldly view....but you honestly need to grow up pal | |

I couldn't stand the fact that a lot Chinese students attend school in US without any exam, burden and process etc... | oops...so I guessed it...but I still want to say that MOST of us are hard-working, but yes, there are some out there who are really really rich, and attend school in the US without "burden".
In fact those guys do take the TOEFL...but not the SAT. You might want to know something: if you happen to know any Chinese students like the ones you have mentioned, they do not attend a descent school, right? They won't learn anything more valuable than messing around and falling asleep in classes even if they do manage to graduate from their schools, they are not able to get into any good graduate schools with such records--money will not work this time. They will pay.
I'm sorry you were so angry with a certain, or maybe some Chinese students, but I'd love to assure you that most Chinese students are hard-working people, nice and friendly. 
btw, I think we can get off this topic now...It's not so pleasant anyway. =) | |

| Yeah. You're right.
OK. Let stop it. I was rude, i didn't think too much before i wrote. Now i know that some Chinese students are diligent and affable. | |
