DeepSeek is reportedly auto-rejecting Chinese applicants who went to America for undergraduate.
Having an undergrad from America usually means you went through the international school pipeline, which usually means that you had much less rigorous math training.
It also means you're culturally White, and probably a bad fit for them.
I have lots of students from Shanghai American School (#
1# international school in the city)- and they have tons of bullshit filler classes like choir, abstract art, reading books about disabled/morbidly obese kids and writing essays about why fatshaming is bad.
As the result- they're far behind in math and science.
And they're somehow less competent at music and arts too because they skip the foundation and go straight to vibe-painting and virtue-yapping.
American education is of very low quality imo... this isn't a China glazing post btw- I would take the average German grad from 20 years ago over today's American grads too.
I would also take the average German (from 20 years ago) over the average Singaporean and Chinese.
