Whether at student can go to university is a very serious decision. Universities should not rely on shortcuts. They need to look at grades, essays, and interviews. Also, students should be educated about the benefits and weaknesses of different universities. A university might be considered the "best", but not be good for a particular student.

Helen, in Asia studying in a university in a foreign country (especially in the West) is more than just having a good course, good teachers and a good degree. It's a big step up into the upper class of society. So students care very little about the nature of the university, it's reputation, etc as long as it is in some western country; and would gladly prefer that to the top university in their own country. After all, when they get into the job market few years later, employers would prefer those that earned a degree abroad to those who studied so hard in their country of origin.
Folks, isn't there something wrong somewhere?
