Key highlights
● UBC ranks third in the QS Global rankings for sustainability;
Whether applying to a top North American high school or university, students need to understand the concept of ESG (Environment, Society and governance) (one Ivy League school interviewed this year);
● The successful experience of this summer school can greatly improve students' background;
● Vancouver has a very high percentage of students applying to Ivy League schools each year, which is better than the mainland United States and the Toronto area; It has a huge advantage over China.
In terms of cost, Canada has a big advantage over the United States:
● The cost of two weeks of similar summer camps in the United States (study + accommodation) is generally 7,500+ US dollars, which is twice as much as ours;
In the future, whether it is high school or university, the cost of studying in Canada is lower than that of studying in the United States; Canada is also friendlier to Chinese than the United States;
Q & A
