Shanghai American School =
SAS = Stressed Asian School. That's all you need to know.
Has two campuses,
Pudong is in a
golf course with legit 0 stores for
takeout in the
3k diameter, Puxi right across from a semi-dead mall with crappy entertainment but somehow parents still complain.
Teachers are getting worse, and your
GPA really depends on your good luck in getting the right teacher. The school has a good record of sending kids to good colleges but that's more because of the parents than the teachers. But don't worry, if you are like me who has a shitty GPA below a 3.3, be assured that people with GPA lower than you from SAS got into colleges. Like Community College of Detroit.:)
Somehow this group of guys who binges on youtube in class and goes drinking weekly still have a
4.0. Maybe Asian moms.
Students have a weird pride that SAS is better than all the other international schools in Shanghai. They are not wrong.:)
A person from
SMIC: "SMIC is a really good school."
A person from
BISS: "BISS is a really good school."
A person from
Concordia: "Concordia is a really good school."
A person from SAS: "Shanghai American School is the worst school ever!"
