Interesting!
To those who are yet to apply for overseas uni:
Go to NUS! Apparently it is better than places like UCLA, UCSF, JHU, Columbia, Cornell, Melbourne, UPenn, Michigen, Illinois, Carnegie Mellon, UCL, GeorgeTech, USC, Sydney, Edinburgh, Waseda, Toronto, Fudan, Wisconsin, Washington, Duke, etc, etc..... According to one London based study.
It's so much easier to get into NUS! Save your efforts... No application essay required.
I chose the "second worse" school out of the 6 schools that offered me a place. And CS, LSE > UChicago.
I don't know how they compute this thing. Would be very interesting to know. I still prefer JHU.

siao, of course uchicago better than lse. the stuff we learn are challenging, i am enjoying myself here and not doing simple stuff in lse
Don't know about the enjoying life part... you'd be surprised. But enjoying the intellectual stimulation and challenge and exposure (like our CS) is a different thing.
I also say xiao. If NUS is better it will be setting up a branch in Baltimore and not the other way round. And I will not fight with you about Chicago first. a/w 08/2006.
This report is like telling us that all of us are stupid. Deserve some sarcastic remarks. :)
btw, do you have the website?
The report is on Sat's ST... but the web version does not have the list of schools. For that go onto ST interactive and find yourself lah... For the complete list I found it on this Chinese thing:
