As a senior in Shanghai High School,China who is applying to US colleges, I think that the American universities are becoming more attractive to Chinese students. A few years ago, only students who have been abroad or speak excellent English are willing to apply overseas. However, nowadays, more and more students in China who used to come to Chinese top universities are going to the USA or UK. They are attracted by the resources and teaching methods there. I’m one of these students. I have abandoned the admission to top 5 domestic universities and applied to Penn and Cambridge. I hope that US and UK colleges are able to see the trend of increase in academic performance in Chinese applicants.
