During the challenging 2024 application season, faced with intense competition as global applicant numbers reached new heights, SCIE students demonstrated extraordinary strength, steadfastly pursuing and advancing to the next stage of their lives, achieving remarkable results in university admissions.

As of May 20th, according to preliminary statistics, over 480 graduates of SCIE’s Class of 2024 have received more than 2,100 offers from universities across the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Hong Kong, Australia, Switzerland, Japan, the Netherlands, and other countries and regions. Among the 300+ students applying to UK universities, 48 received conditional offers from Oxford and Cambridge; nearly 70% successfully obtained conditional offers from G5 elite universities; and over 90% secured offers from the UK’s Top 10 universities. The UK admission results will conclude by the end of May, and we continue to look forward to more offers.

Over 180 SCIE students who applied to U.S. universities also achieved outstanding results: 17 students received a total of 23 offers from Ivy League schools, Top 10 national universities, and liberal arts colleges (including Harvard, Yale, Stanford, UPenn, Duke, Caltech, Johns Hopkins, Columbia, Cornell, Pomona, and Wellesley, among others). 60% of students received offers from Top 30 U.S. universities, totaling 219 offers; and 95% secured admission to Top 50 universities, receiving 518 offers in total.

In Australia, over 30 students achieved a 100% admission rate, successfully gaining offers from the University of Melbourne and the University of Sydney.

Additionally, SCIE students gained recognition from top universities in other countries during the 2024 application season.

Another student received an offer from the University of Amsterdam, the top university in the Netherlands.
