███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ Because we are openly publishing these articles.
I think we should also not aim to be number one by betting on a foundation of entry tariff or good grades to make an application.
No.
I believe we must value people, students for who they are. What they want to achieve. Or else, you end up with human machines that work to get good grades, extracurricular activities or pretend to be whatever, just to get into our university. No, this is wrong. It's not the right way. We don't want that. █████████████████████████████████████ An athlete, Arnold Schwarzenegger, those people had good genes, applied themselves, got lucky. The kids we select are lucky. It shouldn't be something we do on absolute terms.
Maybe if 100,000 and maybe less than 50 undergraduate fields of study. Then 100k / 50 = 2,000 students per field on average. Some courses such as business are more popular. As are doctors and engineers.
Now these 2,000.
35 percent are partially influenced by our guidelines. However, the school will always make any final decision. It's just that █████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
This is 700. They get scholarships. I think I wrote a few weeks ago, 100%, 80%, 60%, 40% and 20%: 140 students each.
They are most likely selected on good grades.
30 percent are paying $10,000 bucks. As local students or else, partner university students or regional students.
This is 600.
I want these people selected on business case, or potentials for those people to thrive in business or leadership or their respective fields. We will publish our reasons why.

The 35% or 700 for international students, and this also eats into the regional students, although we strive for more global reach. So for instance, the 30%, sure if Asian students join, great, Oceania is fine. So is Middle East. But this 35% is geared more to West, Africa, South America and Japan.
When we select these kids..
We want to only select leaders.
It doesn't matter if the person's grades suck, as long as you can see who he or she really is, what he or she is all about, his or her character, the personality, the vision they have, what they have to offer, that matters much more.. because we don't want people who are only book smart, or can absorb information like a sponge. We want critical thinkers, misfits, people who are new. Innovative. This is going to be the big area for us.
