| I know a boy who is one year senior than my son in IBDP, his father told me that his son can take 3 years program instead of 4 years program in HK, but not for HKDSE in 2012. If there is a choice, I prefer my son can take a 3 years program in HK and no need to take another year of liberal studies... to make up a 4 years program |

| Heard that from the head of the IB school, we may have a boy getting in Harvard University next year. And this is very encouraging.

| I'm not sure because I've been told that all offers from the US universities are firm except someone does poorly in the final year. So I guess this is the same situation. Even conditional offer is encouraging I see it as recognition to our IB school. Some tuition center told me new IB school need 5 years for the IB diploma to fully establish. This is why I was so reluctant to let my son to enroll to the program at first. Now I’m convinced this is the way to go.

| Preparation time say 12-18 months, application time 18 months, another two years for IBDP and will see the first batch results. From different angels, 5 years is reasonable. but the results of first batch IBDP may be quite different. In DBS & SPCC, student pool may be a bit better than other schools, if we consider 20+ EAS (of course not all opt for IBDP), some may join LPC, some may study G11-12 in overseas... Originally, I guess DBS & SPCC may take 3-5 years to overtake LPC. My son bets with me max. 2 years..... My son told me that he heard about that but unsure its conditional offers or unconditional offers. |

(Not to mention those who went to Stanford and Duke etc. in US and LSE and UC etc. in UK). I read an article about % of students admitted into Ivy League from different high schools, in the top 52, only two outside USA, one is LPC (~7%). So I always benchmark local IBDP schools with LPC, even I know it's not apple to apple comparison. I further check your data and come up something very interesting. I guess your data come from this table: http://www.lpcuwc.edu.hk/uploads/2008/11/University-Offer-2010.pdf Brown 12 Cambridge 4 Columbia - Oxford 2 Cornell 4 LSE 8 Dartmouth 6 ICL 11 Harvard - 25 Princeton 4 U. Penn 3 Yale - 29 Refer to the total of page 4, the total USA "Offers" is 259, and total number of students is 128 and 42% from HK and 58% from international. For UK, Oxford & Cambridge 2 & 4 offers. Total UK offers 178. For HK, 49 offers only. Findings: 1. Average offers per students ~4. (538 offers vs 128 students) 2. The students finally got into Ivy League and Cambridge are most from HK or overseas students not shown in the table. If most are from overseas, how to compare with Local DSS IBDP school? Just for discussion only........ DBS recommends their students to pick max. 8 programs: 2-4-2, so maximum offers will be 8, so average 4 offers is not so difficult. |
