Thanks for this explanation. Cause you know, there are so many more Koreans than Chinese. China could have .0001% population in science and have more than the male population of South Korea. When did I say in the world? I said, at MIT the ratio is 3:1. I never even mentioned the world, wtf? What's up with you Chinese getting so riled up? You are the single largest population on this planet. Hell, you guys BETTER have more Olympiad gold medalist and genius scientists than the rest of us. Who cares about how many Chinese people there are? You still lose the medal count to a bunch of smaller nations at Olympics. I think it's a classic example of quantity vs. quality. | ||

I must say that I would like to see some actual data to support your MIT and Olympics claims though. | ||

Thus, the highest GPA you should theoretically be able to obtain is 5.0. The average GPA for UC students from our high school was around 4.3, and the average GPA for top tier privates was around 4.5. Speaking of MIT, a friend of mine who currently goes there said, "Yeah, MIT tends to accept a lot of girls. You have to have a vagina or you can't get in."  lol | ||

I thought GPA was sorta like an average out of 4, and that 5 is a perfect score for AP classes. So if you get perfect in all AP classes, how does that average to an 8? So, does every AP class inflate her grade by one? Does that mean that you can get a bunch of 4's and end up with something higher than 4? That's so weird, I don't understand the system at all. | ||

Also wonder how many medalist that usa have bought, I personally would like to in a country where people represent my country are actually born here and is a through and through. edit: anyway, would still like to know how powerful this girl is if she is on an english system....or no one know the comparison? | ||

Yo, chillax~ Any-how, I guess I don't know that many of the Korean Intl's @ MIT. But, I don't believe that there could be such a big gap between medalists in number; one of the IPhO kids from China told me that there were... I believe, 3 kids from the Chinese math team who transferred this year. Now, maybe this was a special year, and a lot came over, but it seems like if this ~3 people thing was approx. true for past years too, then... there can't possibly be a 3:1 ratio. Anyway, I don't want to argue with you. International kids are, in general, frickin' smart. End of story, yeah? | ||
