5 admits to stanford from nushs this year (we had 5 last year as well)

UK unis for Class of 09

I will be relying on Zhongming to edit this post because although I know some statistics, I definitely don't know the full picture.

Imperial & UCL: If you applied for a science course and your subject and overall CAPs > 4, you probably received an unconditional offer.

Oxford: I know one person has gotten an offer for physics. I don't know if it has conditions though (or which college it's from).

Cambridge: Summarised in table form below; all offers are unconditional, which was surprising considering the Class of '08 received conditional offers.

Cambridge statistics for Class of 2009
4 offers, 2 unknowns, 3 unsuccessful.

If you have any updates, keep me posted. Thanks!

University acceptances

Average CAPs for acceptances to universities of interest.

Berkeley: 4.68
UCLA: 4.13
Caltech: 4.76
Cambridge: 4.65
Cornell: 4.64
Duke: 4.55
Edinburgh: 3.81
Harvard: 4.76
UIUC: 3.72
Imperial: 4.18
JHU: 4.46
King's: 4.41
UCL: 4.28
MIT: 4.66
NTU: 3.74
NUS: 3.78
Princeton: 4.76
Queensland: 3.54
SMU: 3.82
Stanford: 4.59
Sydney: 3.63
Warwick: 4.13
Yale: 4.76

Make your own conclusions about these average scores. Please remember that this is only for the the first batch; it is a very small batch, and just about no school received more than 10 applications (besides the local universities) from our school. The acceptance rate is even lower, so the average scores are just indicators.

I have the full range of stats for all these universities including acceptance rates and average SAT scores. If you would like to see the list, please email me, tell me your connection to NUSH (student, parent, etc), and give me some proof, and I'll send it back to you. Alternatively, NUS High students, you can always go into Naviance and access this list yourselves.

Data on the lowest accepted CAPs are available for some of the universities but they aren't all conveniently located on one page, so if you would like the data please specify which school you want it for. Thanks.

The latest NUSHS stats for our batch!

It's up on the school website:

If you are lazy or if they take it down, here it is:






They left out UPenn - someone got in too haha.

Latest admission statistics for our school!

As shown in the briefing to parents:

Naviance and latest stats.

The school has gotten a new software for the juniors, called Naviance, which is like a college planning tool. It should be quite useful, the year 6s had a briefing about it already and it looks like you can track stats and all there!

Hahah so in view of that this blog's emphasis will change a little to providing less stats (since you can go check naviance for that and since I am not very qualified) to talking about my experiences and more interesting articles. :D

If you want to know anyway, this is the list of stats that the school posted in their slides to the year 6 parents' briefing.

UK universities (offers)
UCL (9)
Imperial College (5)
Cambridge (4)
Warwick (4)
King's College London (2)
University of York (1)
University of Leeds (1)
University of Westminster(1)
University of Glasgow (1)
University of St. Andrews (1)

US universities (offers)

ANU (1)
Macquarie U (1)

James Cook U (1)

Obviously everyone will get a better picture after April when the results are all out but I am sure some info is better than no info, especially when this comes straight from the school it's definitely more accurate than the word-of-mouth info I have been giving.

Statistics from our school (at least, what I know)

Okay I thought that as a starter I would post up some stats that we have from our school so far, from what I know for the benefit of the juniors:

UK
Oxford: 2 applied, 0 accepted
Cambridge: About 20+ applied, 5 accepted
LSE: Not sure how many applied, but 0 accepted
UCL: Many accepted and many applied
Imperial: Not sure.

US (I dont know how many applied)
Stanford: 3 applied, 2 accepted
Penn: 3 rejected
Cornell: 1 rejected
Columbia: 1 rejected
UIUC: 1 accepted
Michigan Ann-Arbor: 1 accepted

Australia:
ANU: 2 accepted
UniMel: 1 accepted

That's about all I know for now with regards to acceptances and rejections.

Applications, well back in October Mr. Allan got all those applying to the US colleges to come together and write which universities they are applying to so that everyone gets a feel of how popular some universities are and some arent. I compiled the whole list, it is accurate as of October and not now - hence it does not reflect the true realities of where people eventually applied, but it is meant to give you a feel of what universities were popular among my batch.

Stanford: (13)

Cornell: (18)

UIUC: (9)

Brown: (6)

MIT: (11)

Carnegie-Mellon: (7)

UPenn: (10)

Purdue: (1)

Rice: (1)

Columbia: (6)

Berkeley: (22)

Harvard: (4)

Princeton: (6)

Yale: (3)

Michigan: (12)

Wisconsin: (4)

Caltech: (6)

Duke: (5)

John Hopkins: (7)

Northwestern: (4)

Virginia: (2)

North Carolina: (1)

Dartmouth: (1)

NYU: (6)

Chicago: (2)

Harvey Mudd: (1)

In the meantime I thought that if you want some gauge of how Singaporean students fare in general, you can go to http://www.rjc.edu.sg/USapps/Colleges/rjcrecord.asp to see how RJC students fare.
