<p>@TheGrand
is my SAT score a problem getting the scholarship? or is it my GPA?
do you think iāll at least get in? and which one should I improve?</p>
<p>hello. can anyone tell me if I can get into HKU or HKUST or CHUK?
I am a first year college student from the Philippines. Iām trying to get into business courses.</p>
<p>Sat score = 2100/2400
Toefl = 100/120
GPA = 3.8/4
then I graduated as a valedictorian from my hs.</p>
<p>for SAT II
Chem:700
Math 2c:800
Physics:730</p>
<p>then I am really active in extra curricular activities.
I do some hosting on TV shows
student council v.p.
choir president
and i do some community services.
and i donāt know if it helps but I was one of the top scorers in the college entrance exam of my current school.</p>
<p>@sol3920: I just donāt think HKU normally gives out scholarshipā¦ well of course if you are among the top few % of the candidates then sure, but I dont reckon those results put you up there, unless policies have changed then. UST I think some scholarship for sure, but to what extent I cant answer you that.
It depends on what programmes you are applying to.</p>
<p>@fluffy: Depends on the programmes you are applying to.</p>
<p>hi there! i registered here only to join the 2 year old discussion about HKU and HKUST. @TheGrand: i am shocked you think sol3920 has no chanceā¦ i mean, his SAT results are pretty good and TOEFL as well. @sol3920 - where are you from?
i have applied via fast track by 26 of October. I want to study Law. Well as you might have guessed, i come from Ukraine (Eastern Europe) well we do not have any SAT or IB, only English proficiency tests. Well, I am a second year student in the ā 1 university in my country. Have pretty good grades. Passed IELTS 7.0. Friends of mine told me that I will get accepted by HKU + a scholarship as wellā¦ but after reading TheGrands last post i am scared. @TheGrand - hah, I guess my chances are even lower than FluffyNoly and sol3920 :)</p>
<p>@everyone
common, guys! If you want to study in Hong Kong write here! Letās share some thoughts tips and ideas!
P.S i didnāt understand the new āfast trackā systemā¦ could someone explain it to me? :D</p>
<p>@TheGrand : i want to apply to Global and international business. Or even just business administration (Marketing) will do. What do you think? :(</p>
<p>@Ukraine: I heard HKU gives more priority to GPA. I heard from someone that they donāt really give much importance to SAT. I dunno. yeah it would be great if everyone shared what he knows. :D</p>
<p>@Fluffynoly well my school grades are mostly straight Aās we have a different grade system, but my school provided the equivalence tableā¦ My school exams were like Aās and entrance exams were like high enough even to get a full based scholarshipā¦ I also was hoping, that my extracurriculars are good enoughā¦ And I know 6 languages on Advanced level.
Btw, where are you from?
Did you apply to other universities?</p>
<p>@ukraine haha thanks! well iām an international student currently attending some high school in the united statesā¦but my citizenship is korea. i really hope we all get in.
oh ^^^^^btw im not a guy! hahaha</p>
<p>@sol3920 I am girl too well, it will be awesome if we all get accepted!
What is your 1 choice subject?
I have just received an email from HKU, saying, that they start to review applications two weeks after the supporting documents have been sent.</p>
<p>@ukraine: yeah im applying to CHUK and HKUST too. i really want international business and global management but it is really really hard to get in, like they only offer 35 slots (i think).
so i am kind of nervous. :(</p>
<p>@fluffynoly well I applied only to HKU, I am only interested in this uni . Well, there will the application status check in 2 weeks, but I am sure, that they will postpone it for another weekā¦they like to postpone the deadlines even if it is on time, I am sure there will be nothing thereā¦
Donāt worry, both of you have great results! Did you apply somewhere else? I mean, USA, UK, Canada?</p>
<p>@ukraine nope. i really want to study in HK. i donāt know. HK unis have always been like my sole goal. haha. how about you? did you apply anywhere else?</p>
<p>and i havenāt even completed my application form for HKU. i still need my SAT I result. im retaking it on saturday. to see if i can get higher score :P</p>
<p>@fluffynoly well, I am going to apply to German universities, but my heart belongs to HKā¦I wish the HKU admission team knew, that I want to get accepted by HKU so badly!! :D</p>
<p>@FluffyNolly Hi, Iām a general BBA student at HKUST right now. Iām not sure about how HKU works, but for HKUST, Iād say you have a chance at getting an interview for GBUS (Global Business). Your TOEFL score is a bit on the weak side; you might want to bump it up to 110 to be safe. Once you get an interview for GBUS, anything goes!</p>
<p>@hulkhogan88888 wow thanks so much for the info. i really appreciate it. yeah i am worried about my toefl too. but i heard as long as my scores in CR and writing are okay, they wonāt even look at the toefl score. I am not even sure if i will submit toefl score since they donāt require it. hmmm</p>
yeah it would be great if everyone shared what he knows. :D</p>
