PETALING JAYA: It has been three years since a Malaysian was accepted into Harvard University. Eleasha Chew (pix) has put an end to the "drought."

The former student of St. George's Girls' School will be admitted under Harvard College's Early Action programme for the class of 2018.

The 19-year-old International Baccalaureate student has been very active in theatre and community service.
Dr Goh Cheng Teik, who heads the selection panel that interviews students for undergraduate admission into Harvard, described Eleasha as “extremely intelligent”.

“She speaks very well and she is able to communicate very effectively, I am sure she will not face any difficulty when she is in Harvard,” said Dr Goh in a telephone interview on Friday.

Former SMK Damansara Jaya student Avinaash Subramaniam was the last Malaysian to be accepted into Harvard - in 2010.

This lady did get into Harvard with STPM.  But then she also had other achievements.

Hmm interesting read. Same case year after year. Couldn't get jpa but manage to get Harvard sport scholarship I lol hard. I want to believe that Malaysia standard is too high and not because of skin colour.
