"I agreed with your first comment, it's sensible and true. The best IB college in UK is a girl school and also student number less than 50. That's the limitation of DSS and nothing to do with DBS and other DSS."
Yes, that is why I always think that the best IB school in UK is Sevenoaks.
For the second comment, it's more complicated.
Yes, it is a bit complicated because of the number of factors.
As you said more students from overseas, they are much easier to get into their local elite universities and much easier to get scholarships.
This is true. This is a strong point of LPC as well.
Other considerations of those indicators:
1. History of the IB school, how can you compare a brand new IB college with a 18+ years established UWC;
I have high regard to DBC's IB average of 38, the first IB cohort of DBS. However, if we compare schools, LPC is in a better position simply because of its history.
2. Value and number of scholarships, US$2,000 vs US$50,000;
For Ivy league or elite collegs (I mean top 10 to 15), they would not give scholarships to the students to avoid the unhealthy competition for students. They only give you financial aid so long as they admit a student who needs financial aid to study in that school. The exception is the small number of scholarships established by alumni or other organisation but the amount of which is not as high as US$50,000.00. Usually such scholarship is in the region of US$10,000 (th highest) to US$1,000 or S$2,000.00 If one who is granted a financial aid of US$50,000.00 each year, this factor should be reflected in the college placement factor.
3. Number of overseas students...
This is the strong point of LPC because it provides a diversity to the learning environment.
4. Placements also interlinked with history of the colleges.
DBS and LPC both have long history. I think both schools are well known amongst elite colleges in the world.
5. Co-edu vs boys....
I tend to think that most if not all elite colleges would not take this factor into account when they decide to admit an applicant.
6. Difficult to compare philosophy and mission among schools
Yes it is difficult if they have similar philosophy and mission, However some schools would stress, apart from learning, on sport, musics, services, science or all rounder.
.......
I always enjoy to discuss and share with you, your views always enlighten me.
It is also my enjoyment to discuss and share with you. In fact, I appreciate your effort in sharing all relevant education matters to the parents who really want to assist their kids and place them in a better position in this competitive society.
