My third-year business/economics undergrads had the highest scores on the national college admissions exam. Each year, nearly 10 million high school seniors take a national standardized exam (gaokao) to compete for the 5.7 million freshman spots at universities across the country. Here's a great article in Slate that explains the gaokao process. The best always end up at Tsinghua. Of this year's entering freshman class, Tsinghua proudly boasts that it has admitted the #1 student from 22 provinces (out of 31 provinces) in China. And of these 22 students, 19 have chosen biz/econ as their major. Hope they can find jobs when they graduate.

fascinating - it's bizarre that their are provincial differences in who can see their score before applying! you must have all the 700ers in your class...
