Congrats on HKIS
+1 sb
HKIS kids never disappoint
what does this even mean
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
If this was for the UK, Indians would be at the top tho. Go Rishi!
Even in the US they're at least second if not arguably tied for first
congrats on china!
When everything gets censored but braindead posts like this prevail.
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
