PETALING JAYA: Three Malaysians have been selected to attend Harvard College, the undergraduate school of Harvard University, for the class of 2027.

They are Ho Shu Xin from Ipoh, and Pua E Rick and Sydny Lum from Kuala Lumpur.

The college received a total of 56,937 applications with a 3.4% acceptance rate.

The three Malaysians were among the 14.5% of international students from across 102 countries selected to attend Harvard College out of a total of 1,942 students admitted.

Both Ho and Pua are currently A-Levels students at Kolej Yayasan UEM while Lum is an A-Level student at Garden International School (GIS).

Ho intends to major in Educational Psychology, Pua will be pursuing studies in Biological Sciences while Lum plans to major in Economics.

In Malaysia, there are currently fewer than 10 alumni of Harvard College.

Harvard College’s financial aid policy

This year marks the second consecutive year that Harvard College has expanded its financial aid policy for low- and middle-income families.

The cost to attend Harvard College will be free for families with annual incomes falling below US$85,000 (about RM375,000), an increase from last year’s threshold of US$75,000. Nearly 25% of Harvard College students come from families earning below this threshold.

Since launching the Harvard Financial Aid Initiative in 2005, the university has awarded more than US$3 billion in support, and its annual aid budget has risen by more than 200%, from the initial US$80 million to US$246 million in 2023.

The college has also waived standardised testing requirements for the third year running.

Nadiah Wan, an alumni interviewer for Harvard College and Harvard Club of Malaysia president, said the college’s admissions is “need-blind and financial aid is 100% need-based”.

“This means that students are admitted solely based on their ability and character regardless of socio-economic background and financial ability to pay. If a student is admitted, Harvard is committed to ensuring that they can afford to attend.

“This gives an opportunity for talented students across the globe, including Malaysia, to access its world-class research and education system,” she said in a statement.

so its true that


when the going gets tough , the tough get going


and going that they managed to secure a place in Haward while oyen still laze around & do grab je

But in the USA, they shud watch out for anti Asian BLMs.

Harvard got BLM president, go for what?

Still got mara and uitm ma

Actually true, there is a boss of a Microsoft Certified Gold Partner ... likes to say "Graduated from Australia" then you discover it's a 1 year distance learning program from a dodgy university.

Remember, you only need qualifications when you don't have cables or political backers.

Congrats

Congratulations, didn't know Harvard got 100% financial aid from freshman year itself, lucky buggers, your life will be for the better.

Less than 10 Malaysian alumni?

For real?

Why necro old thread lol.

Congratulations

But who the fark dig an old story

Their assistance for 300K and below....that shows the actual cost to study in USA.

if she was admitted to matrics and happened to have a forum with PMX, same thing will repeat aka kena sound don't kacau status quo.

We got UITM graduates, it's okay!

Se-pu? Se-puuuuuuuuuuuuuukiCHINjiPENGmakLIMranKUANjiaoYEW

after grad balik contribute to economy

May or may not.

They may not be welcomed back… scared of having the boat rocked.

congrats to the three who worked hard. their life changes forever.

never listen to anyone who says education/ certificates isn't important.

mark my words.

sg not looking good in future

when you get a good start, you already win half way.

they have the capacity to finish their courses of course.

why look at the 1% possibility when 99% they will make it.

Congrats 👏

Legit. See their face also can tell they’re proper qualified.

PH 1 yr can produce 3 Harvard students.

done plotek.

Let's face it, their futures have already been paved. It will be a challenging and exciting life.

When I first came to KL to study at university Malaya, everything was so new and foreign. And those 3 will be flying to US, to study at one of the top world uni, and everything will be more foreign liao. Unless of course they anak orang kaya, been to US many times.

I wish them the best. Study smart not study hard yo.

None of malay lol

How to boycott Harvard?!

tapi ini belum ada lambo lagi,
yang satu itu belum graduate dah ada lambo

we can start by boycotting intel processors and apple products...

3 pendatang.

why mark an idiot's word?
if sg ever sinks, they would have invaded msia.

After grad won't be back in MY anyway. Most of my customer kids from poor to rich, once they score high and can study overseas, won't come back.

tarak indian

where is vivek ramaswamy malaysia?

Nothing to shout about since bukan anak melayu tempatan bumiputera, else riuh 1malaysia

Indians straight got for CEO post bro.

Not very 1 malaysia

Need to implement quota system for students going overseas

You don't have to be in SG to work for SG

What so proud going Harvard? Ppl inside there party whole day night.

Should go to Beida Tsinghua. There are really for ppl serious about higher education.

Pity you live your life full of bigotry and hate

Expand your horizons. Get better friends from all races

Good for them, hope they get good jobs over there as well. Godspeed

For sure they are not ktards

China is offering many scholarships to Malaysian students esp from Du Zhong. These include the project 985&211 universities.

Maybe they only sleep 4 hr per day due to study. Sacrifice needed mah

Those are good standard of university.

Ppl should stop sending their children to western university. I saw many unemployed after graduate, because they just partying whole day.

No wonder jadi penjilat zionist

3 confirm not balik. but i dont blame them.

At least their policy is based on meritocracy and usually practice surplus policy, which a typical Malay on the street can't even understand this methodology and the rational behind.

Malaysia lose 9 street

It’s sad but who can blame them? Malaysia is trapped in a mid tier economy with low tech and low value industries.

you mean presiden usa?

Good for them. If I have the chance and opportunity to study overseas and stay there, I will definitely take it. No hope for Malaysia already.
Unfortunately, I only can afford local u last time, and now to old to continue study overseas. Got family and commitment here already.

vrrooooom

KYUEM hard to masuk? tuition fee berapa?

chromatino_hex

this i agree. my parents worked hard to send me to a top business school in uk, all i needed to do is to graduate, dont even need distinction.
b4 graduate sudah dapat a job in SG, just because of my degree aje.

Then accused of trying to dominate economy ?

The thing is.. racism is almost everywhere but where you rather be.

A racist country but economy drowning or a racist country but economy strong?

Secondly, BLM thing.. you see in the US, there are also plenty of whites will join for BLM protest

There are a lot of people from the group of majority (white) will support BLM

In here, despite the bumi privilege and advantage, it's the bumi still feel the most tertindas/terancam

Don't ask why I'm still here then, I'm poor and no skill.

Selection is not based on where you study. Although some colleges are "better" (more familiar) with the requirements of top universities and can prepare you better.

Practically all applicants are straight A students, so they all have the same result. They need to differentiate themselves in other ways.

i prefer to send my kids there not because of Harvard potential connection. I find it interesting because of the location and full boarding system. Prefer to have my kids stay in hostel away from KL.

this is not a comparison statement.

If Malaysian Malas, Bodoh
So Singapore can solve its problem??


Metirocracy is Good, but it cant solve ANY problem.

Garden international school.
Low and middle income.
Hmm

Meritocracy is Good, but it cant solve ALL problem. I fixed that for you

Why Sg cannot solve flooding issue? Just do reclaim land with higher level of soil

Why Sg cannot solve population issue? They already restrict 3rd country foreign worker to have temporary working permit only. Once you retire, out you go

The only thing that Sg can't solve is power and food for now. They are trying hard on vertical farming and solar... Not necessary will succeed but at least they are making effort

U do know for kids of VVIP Harvard does have a separate intake where the cost is much higher and its used to curry favours. Its not based on merits like these kids unless their parents is linked.

Why would they want to grow to 10-15m population?
Just retain as it is and capture the brightest minds from worldwide.
Singapore will only be more expensive to live in moving forward

Pfft.. UM has nothing to shout about

For Power, Singapore already invest/Build Generator in Vietnam, and channeling back the electricity thought ASEAN Grid network.

Lets see Japan, and Even China.
The problem behind population = Aging.

Once the Miracle of Japan, also cannot recovered from Aging Population
Now is China's Turn to solve Aging Population.

I can confidently tell you, SG is far more welcoming any productive person into its country, then its old retired citizen who withdraw CPF and burden to country's medical system.
they might be planning solution with its neighbouring states for "Ultimate Solution".


But their main problem is still the growing Aging Population. Thats the No.1 Problem.

...........
A typical Fine Product of Failed Malaysia Education System.


Population Growth always a Positive thing to Any Country.
for SG, quite different the case.

with Longer life expectancy coming years, People live longer.
the population growing but the "Retired Group" Bcome bigger and bigger.


How you going to stop the number growth?

Kill Old People?
Prevent new born baby???

Why are we talking about Singapore again? Singapore lives rent free in so many Malaysian minds. We’re celebrating our 3 Harvard inductees.

Leave Singapore to do its own thing. Sink or swim, succeed or fail, rich or poor, it’s not our problem, not our responsibility and not our concern.

Because we can’t change how and what other countries do to try to attract our talents, we should worry about what we are able do to help retain them instead.

Racism is not institutionalized in the US, unlike here. There everybody are equal citizens under the constituition.

It was a big deal when you were from a very hulu kampung and had to take a flight to KL alone 30 years ago.

Malaysia practices constitutional racism unlike other countries … in MY if you are a racist, form a party and be a leader, people support you. But others like US/UK, people will condemn you …

i am sure these bright students dont waste time opening propaganda tered to glorify hamas and even waste time to defend the telurless telorists
