主题：【原创】我了解的八九十年代留学德国 -- 假日归客

the so called 一年三万多美元奖学金 is actually need based and targeting students from poor families -- which is very rare in Ivy level undergraduates.

And for 在美国上名校更容易了。全美常青藤+MIT、caltech几个学校每年十几万招生, this is mathmatically wrong. Caltech the entire undergraduate program has less than one thousand students, and for each year all departments and majors add together is 200+. The other HYPSM five "big Ivy" each school each year about 2000ish. So where can this 每年十几万招生 come from?

The competition of Ivy is most fierce especially for undergraduates. And the students of poor family background are usually no match for the more affluent ones.

Again, only the very poor are eligible for the so called 一年三万多美元奖学金
