Hotchkiss has the best Chinese course in the country hands down. For more than 100 years Hotchkiss has brought students from China to the school and there still is a special “Chinese Connection”. In fact over 1/4 of all US ambassadors to china went to Hotchkiss (including the current Ambassador). So Old Hotchkiss boys can get the very best Chinese teachers from China to go to Hotchkiss.

Also Due to Hotchkiss’ position as the pre-eminent business school in the world many Chinese tycoons have brought their kids to Hotchkiss such as the founder of Ming Cosmetics (who is a Hotchkiss grad), and another Chinese alum who founded CNet.com and download.com .

Many students, both Chinese and a large number of non-Chinese students, are taking the Chinese course. Furthermore there are numerous Chinese and Korean individuals at Hotchkiss. I came from Malaysia myself, and like you did the GCSEs and the IB. I have to say coming to Hotchkiss was the best move of my life. I think that there are more Chinese here at Hotchkiss than at my old international school in Malaysia and Brunei (percentage wise anyways).

Essentially Hotchkiss is a very welcoming place for Asians.

I think you have a good shot of getting in.
