Hi Musktard and all! I’m a CHINESE student (preparing for Gaokao now) who has been offered conditional admission to NYUSH and previously considered to persue my study in HKUST or FUDAN U in Shanghai. It seems that FEW of you guys here have ever talked about your ideas about your (potential ) Chinese classmates or give your comment about your fellows from CHN Mainland(For those who are studying in NYUSH Now),and I really wants to hear your opinions/questions about us. @Musktard What I can share is that from my points of view ,a large number of students from China in NYUSH(at least this year) is definitely doing well academically than those Chinese student you may come across in Stern or other Non-Ivy school regarding their Science Foundation or Quantitive skills. I myself is studying in the top High school in one of southern Province of China. My classmate who share similar exam scores with me in Senior 1 turned to applying for US University and has been admitted by U Mich, UCB and Brown. A student who always performed better than me was admitted by Oxford (Math major),and some of my friends who found difficulties in preparing Gaokao got admission from CMU or Rice.(I don’t mean to show any kind of prejudice but just to tell the truth).Also, one of my friend ranked about 10000th in our province last year’s Gaokao but successfully transferred to NYU NY. and you know that the average of us admitted by NYSH can rank about top 1000th or 500th in our province.In a word,I think Chinese students here perform better than those NYU NY Chinese students, and some of us even has better academic foundation than those Chinese undergraduate in Ivy lIke U Penn, Yale, Princeton. Just to share my information with you ,and I really looking forward to have your reply or your question/oponions about us the CHN mainland students.
