Not to defend the admission policies, but I do notice that the Chinese tend to study for the exam, even stealing exams and studying just to memorize the answers. A lot of them seem to enter our universities but without the ability they claim to have coming into it. Like claiming to speak English, and having test scores to back it up... but having no actual mastery of the language.
This is especially true for rich Chinese (who send their kids in droves to Western countries). The poorer ones seem to be more legit though.
Yes, that's what studying means to them. I'm surprised people here believe the BS about the chinese being the best students in the universe and the hardest workers.
Fake diplomas, fake grades, from fake schools.
This is not an argument for lowering the standards for college admission which will prove to be very bad for this nation.
