Update of Oversea College Admission
SIBS graduating class of 2020 had just finished the last SAT test of the college application season. They will soon immerse into their RD-round application due by January 1, 2020. Let us wish our SIBS graduates good luck!
The 2019-20 College application season opened in October. UK UCAS entrance exams rolled out the curtains. U.S. Early Decision and Early Action rounds followed and were completed in October. In November, all University of California campuses are hauling in applications for the only round. In December, ED results are being announced. Perhaps, we can draw hints from the Top-30-frequent Boston College’s ED statistics. BC receives just over 1700 early decision applications, and BC offered admission to 37% of applicants. The average standardized scores for the accepted students are SAT:1412, ACT:32. These numbers provide goals and motivation for our SIBS students.
The reported early decision acceptance for Top 10 US colleges and universities are largely on-par with last year. There is one accepted student by Stanford University who previously enrolled in Shenzhen Academy of International Education founded by SIBS’ Head of School, Dr. Chen. Through our communication, this student is highly qualified with 15 AP with scores of 5. She is a National Merit Scholarship finalist in the US with 99% percentile in G11 PSAT. Her SAT score is 1590. Again, these data provide incentive and model for SIBS students to reach.
