HKIS= Hong Kong International School. Basically the most prestgious school in hong kong and any kid who is from hong kong who did not hack it to an elite boarding school went here. Hell if you look at an of those deerfield/andover/exeter kids who are from hong kong. They went to HKIS before they went to their elite American boarding school

 

Are you talking about NYC? I would put Indians at least with Koreans if not with Chinese at the analyst level because there’s definitely more Indians than Koreans. At the senior levels they might be S+ tier a level on their own.I’m white so just an external observer lol

 

Congrats on Korea lol. Its more like (1)Chinese small drop then (2) Indian and then a fairly large drop then Korean. Everyone else is very sparse
