Applying to HKUST as int'l transfer student

Hello, everyone
I am an ECE undergraduate in my final year at the University of Lagos, Nigeria, and I would be graduating by September 2013. In spite of this, I still want to apply to HKUST (I have started filling the online application), so that I can resume for the 2013-2014 session, and I hope to transfer credits, in order that I may finish in two years. I really want to come to HKUST because of the nice research opportunities for undergrads which is not available in Nigeria(we hardly do any research here, and we basically cram our way through-no insults intended). Do you guys think that its worth it to apply since I would soon be done? What are my chances of entry as I am one of the top students in my class with a great recommendation letter, and also with leadership experiences. lastly, would I get any form of scholarships as the tuition is high. Thanks, and sorry for the length
p.s. I hope to pursue a Ph.D after my undergrad either in China or USA
