It's much easier to apply for your local flagship state school or go the CC -> state school route than to pass the margins needed for the gaokao though? I think most would agree that the US admissions process is significantly easier, even for elite colleges (UC Berkeley), than it is for comparable institutions in China (Peking).
- yogthos 3y agoHaving a stricter admissions process just means that you're selecting for higher level of competence to start with. In absolute numbers, China completely dwarfs the US in terms of STEM graduates. China had 4.7 million recent STEM graduates in 2016, while the U.S. had a mere 568,000. https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2017/08/future-tech-dominance-china-outnumber-usa-stem-grads-8-to-1-and-by-2030-15-to-1.html https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2017/08/future-tech-dominance-...
