在父母和学生的期待下，美国各大高校陆续放榜，2013年美国名牌大学，无论是公立、还是私立，录取率都明显下降。洛杉矶地区许多成绩优秀的华裔学子，都只好选择了“曲线求学”的道路，以求在未来继续求学的时候，可以申请常春藤学校。
ECNS — Children of Chinese Americans with excellent academic records are being forced to choose less prestigious, lower-ranking US colleges because of an increased number of applicants this year, usqiaobao.com reported on Monday.
The acceptance rate at Harvard University has hit a record-low of 5.8 percent, followed by Yale University at 6.72 percent, and Princeton University at 7.29 percent.
Other Ivy League colleges such as the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell University and Brown University all saw applications inch up, pushing down freshman acceptance rates. Even more selective was Stanford University, which accepted a record-low 5.69 percent of all its applicants this year.
Mr. Chen, a college counselor, said the reasons for the lowered acceptance rate include increasing international student numbers and more high-caliber Chinese-American children.
Chen suggested that parents encourage their children to make independent decisions and choose their own paths.
