Ivy League and Oxbridge are also the "fragrant dumplings" of middle-class families in Singapore.
Last year, two of the top five schools in the world were from Singapore! Raffles Institution and Central China have even more admissions than Eton College, a well-known private high school in the United Kingdom. Singapore leads the world in terms of average IB scores and pass rates, and according to statistics, nearly half of the world's IB candidates with perfect scores come from Singapore schools.

Harvard admits only 1-2 students in Singapore each year, and Student E is one of them.
"I attended an international school in Singapore with the goal of getting into the top 10 universities in the United States. However, there has been no clear goal of what major to choose.
Two years before I applied to college, my mom recommended Crimson's strategy teacher to me. After several in-depth conversations, the teacher helped me analyze and deconstruct little by little, and the matter of choosing a major suddenly became clear.
I usually pay a lot of attention to current affairs and policies, and I like to read books on sociology and economics, which my teacher says can be used as a major for public policy and sociology.
Don't fight unprepared battles. After clarifying the goal, Crimson's strategy teacher helped me tailor a detailed progress route. Participated in international public policy debates and essay competitions, conducted research internships at the National University of Singapore (NUS), and more. My mentor also suggested that I volunteer as a case writer for a local grassroots organization.
These have helped me a lot when applying to schools in the future, not only adding points to my resume, but also really improving my ability and self-confidence. ”
Student E received offers from Harvard, Princeton, and Brown universities, and eventually chose Harvard University to study public policy.

Twin offer: Wu Xiang University
"Four years ago, I came to Victoria Junior College in Singapore from Wenzhou, China after receiving the SM1 scholarship.
In fact, I am not a 'good boy' of the top school type, when I first came to Singapore, I taught in English, I even didn't understand something, and I once got an F grade in English. I started to "make up" English on my own, reading in English for 2-3 hours a day, listening to blogs, watching documentaries, and so on. Finally broke through the bottleneck!
In my daily study, I found that the students around me began to prepare to apply for British and American universities early, and climbing vines and oxbridge is not out of reach.
Through my roommate's introduction, I came into contact with Crimson, who specializes in undergraduate universities in the United Kingdom and the United States. My advisors fed me application materials from top universities along the way, filling in my information gaps.
The application season coincides with the school curriculum, and every day is very busy. The teacher would remind me of every application that I needed to pay attention to, even the details of the small font on the official website. I was also reminded of deadlines to make sure I didn't miss anything important when applying. ”
Four years later, she used to have a "crane tail" in English, and applied to two world-famous universities - Cambridge University and United States University of California, Berkeley. In the end, he chose to study economics at the University of Cambridge.
The challenges and confusion encountered by students Y and E in the process of applying to prestigious universities may also be the troubles faced by many students and parents who are applying to top universities. How to apply, what criteria need to be met, what aspects are important for an interviewer....
On Saturday, August 17 from 4-6 p.m., former admissions officers from the University of Princeton and Oxford joined forces to parachute into Singapore for the first time, providing first-hand information on the behind-the-scenes process and criteria for admissions.
Why jump to a prestigious British and American school in Singapore?
After 100 years of accumulation, top universities in the United Kingdom and the United States provide a broad international platform and rich resources, which can provide students with more global vision and development opportunities. In addition to the academic atmosphere and development opportunities, the salary level of graduates is also the focus of many students and parents.
The average annual salary of NUS graduates is S$51,600, while NTU is S$50,400. This is twice as low as Harvard University (S$108,827), Princeton University (S$113,000) and Brown University (S$100,486) in the United States. Students graduating from prestigious universities in the United Kingdom, such as the London School of Economics (S$56,022) and the London School of Economics (S$53,513), are also higher than in Singapore.
To study in a prestigious university in the United Kingdom and the United States, it is best to prepare and plan early.
Parents and students who want to learn more about the admissions standards and progression process of Ivy League and Oxbridge, or want to have a more comprehensive understanding of the IB curriculum and the Singapore A exam, don't miss the Chinese-English lecture by former admissions officers from Princeton and Oxford universities on Saturday, August 17.
