There are probably more than 1000 applications to the Ivy League and the top 10 US university from China each year based on records in recent years (an average number of over 50 applications from China to the top 20 US schools per school).The number accepted may average less than 5 per school each year. The acceptance rate is less than 10%.That compares with the schools,40-50% at major public or state universities, and 70% at all colleges and universities for applicants nationwide in the US.

The situation is changing fast from year to year. The good news is,however,more help is available.
