My son was accepted to Andover, and we went to the accepted student day. I remember meeting only one student from mainland China the entire day. The young girl was pleasant and friendly. Her parents were wealthy and from Shanghai. The daughter on the other hand spoke with a perfect American accent. So she probably studied at some sort of international school, or maybe even a junior boarding school.

So the bottom line is that its very difficult to get in from China. Just make sure you apply to a wide range of schools, otherwise come M10 you might be shut-out with no acceptances. Good luck
