Anyone STILL not heard from Imperial?

How do you know what the 'full' experiance is? If you go to any university abroad you are going to gain alot of experiance. As i said before, its not the actuall university but also the location, i dont think you fully understand how diverse London is.

From what I've heard from my brother (UCL, on his hall's committee) even when they've actively tried to get the Chinese kids involved they don't integrate socially. They can never get them to come to their events, and when they went out for Chinese new year they tried to get them to come along, but they refused. So it's not necessarily from a lack of trying on other nationalities' behalf.

Well someone said that the mechanical engineering admissions tutor was of to Asia to attract more students to come to Imperial - that's what initially pissed me of.

What do you think about this then? Representative from Imperial College, King's College, LSE and UCL went to my college yesterday. They are even holding a 2 day educational exhibition in Malaysia.

They do that in many countries

They are clearly biased towards gaining Asian pupils rather than say American,African,Iranians,Australians,Saudi Arabians, Russian,Canadians and so on and on and on. That is not fair towards pupils in those countries and neither is it good because Asian Kids TEND to form groups and not integrate but we have already been over this.

To be fair, the education system in Singapore is one of the best in the world, especially their math (unless i mixed it up with another country, in a simmilar part of the world).

It may benefit most people here to have better students at the university and thus improve the reputation of ic

That is quite true! A pity that some Asians like to stick to their own people instead of reaching out to other communities. I don't want to be one of them!!

Well usually the "reps" are usually alumni living in those countries. So, chinese attract more chinese, malaysians more malays and so on.

There's not as many Saudi / African / etc alumni.

And you probably wont be, I am just basing my assumption from what I have seen at Imperial and what people have said.

And they are very true! By the way, Raj is a Sanskrit word for rule and dominion.
Got that from Wikipedia LOL

Right expand my vocabulary 'cause I don't know what 'Raj' means.

You cannot make an argument based upon the education system in a country. Supposedly Imperial wants to attract the brightest students from all over the world and they most certainly don't come from Singapore alone, especially not because their education system is in your opinion better than say Sweden's. And I highly doubt that it overshadows the IB program.

The best students will flourish in an academic environment regardless of which country they are in or what system they are doing. That is the very basis of what is involved in the 'best students' they find out knowledge for themselves.

And if we are going to to talk about good maths programs try Russia. Their entrance exam for doing LAW was harder than the IMO papers - a professor told us so, when we were doing qualifiers for the IMO.
