<p>What is your 2nd and 3rd choice?</p>
<p>@ MysteryMicui</p>
<p>About your question before about practicing law in the US, I think you need to go to law school there to pass the bar exam. US students usually need to take four years of undergraduate studies before they apply to law school and study for I think another three years? So this is why I think studying law at HKU will put you at an advantage because you actually study for a law degree immediately during your undegrad studies. After that you can get employed at a law firm and start practicing and then become a lawyer in HK. If you are planning on practicing in the US, you can apply to law school there with the undergraduate HKU LLB degree and start from there. Hope this is helpful :)</p>
<p>I applied to the same program (Literature+Law) as my second choice, and I got deferred, so I am kind of still waiting for my first choice which is LLB. I think my chance of getting in is very very slim, but I still wish you all the best :)</p>
<p>Hi,
Are there any Canadian high school students applying for universities in Hong Kong without IB? I am now studying in Vancouver, Canada. I applied for HKUST and CUHK for BBA through non-jupas. I just want to know what is the average % people need to have to get in. I applied in December and still got nothing from any of the universities. When do non-jupas usually hear their offers?
Thanks.</p>

<p>If you want to study law in the States you don’t have to do your post grad there a.k.a JD. As long as you do your undergraduate LLB at HKU all you need to do is pass the bar in the states and you are qualified to be a lawyer there. </p>
<p>In HK you do your undergraduate LLB and then a two year course to be a solicitor and a 1 year course to be a barrister. </p>
<p>My 2nd preference was arts and my 3rd was journalism but I consider journalism a lost cause. </p>
<p>I’ve contacted the LLB admissions office and they have said that they will be dealing with non-jupas application in April. All non-jupas applicants which are deemed acceptable are then interviewed by a faculty member and from there a judgement is made. </p>
<p>So you should hear from them by April. By any chance does anyone know if any non-jupas applicants have been rejected yet???</p>
<p>Okay guys I was just mailed this question from HKUST:
Your application is being reviewed and if you can provide the following,
it will help our review of your application:
- Explanation of your activities/enrollment from your graduation in
June 2011 to current (e.g. university studies, full-time/part-time work,
etc)
The truth is I have prepared for an admission exam of a uni in my country but failed to got in. Later I got admitted into another uni and is currently doing my first semester here. Should I tell them this? I am afraid that if they come to know about this they will consider me as a transfer applicant rather than a freshman and I may lose my scholarship opportunities!!</p>
<p>Please help!</p>
<p>Hey, Im in the same situation as you, i applied to cuhk and hkust business, am international. So the strike thing going on, are you going to send them the term 2 transcript? Also did you select the PSI for hkust and cuhk?</p>
<p>@smarthead</p>
<p>Don’t tell them anything just say you are taking a year off at the moment.</p>
<p>@ jgeelong- and doing nothing…just sitting at home? will that give a good impression??</p>
<p>@ smarthead</p>
<p>Ok two questions:
- Have you complete a whole semester
- What are you applying for?</p>
<p>If you decide to tell them you will have to act a transfer student unless you explain that when you applied you had yet to begin university. and only began after application to stay active in you educational pursuits.</p>

<p>My 2nd choice is Arts and 3rd choice is Journalism That’s funny!!</p>
<p>promegranate and jgeelong</p>
<p>Thanks for advice.</p>
<p>I just got a message from HKUST and they said that under normal circumstances, applicants should expect a reply anytime
between April to June. </p>
<p>It will be very frustrating if I receive a reply in June as I have to pay the deposit before May and it takes some time to apply for a US visa. April is good considering my situation and may is acceptable, but June… I hope I woun’t be the last one to receive their offer.</p>
<p>@ MysteryMicui
That’s soo annoying… is there a way you can request earlier consideration?</p>
<p>They suggested that I include acceptance letters from other universities. It is only suggestion. As far I can see there is no guarantee for earlier consideration.</p>
<p>What about you?</p>
<p>HKU FINALLY announced my scholarship decision (a week after the offer)…
And it is no where nearly enough for me to afford it :(</p>
<p>What is your offer? What programme did you apply for?</p>
<p>^bluelovexD
What a pity… Never mind~ Better offers are waiting for you ahead!</p>
<p>@MysteryMicui AAB (GCE A levels), 3 year BEng.
@SMSAnonJ But i REALLY REALLY wanted to go to HKU :(</p>
<p>@bluelovexD</p>
<p>Hello/ What kind of scholarship did they give you?</p>
<p>@jgeelong
No, I havent completed a semester yet- it will end in April. I have applied for BBA as first choice and Engineering as 2nd and 3rd choices. Btw…were you accepted at NYU? What was your SAT score?</p>

<p>Hi, I’m a current HKU BBA student who applied through non-jupas from Canada without IB. I’m from Vancouver too! Like you, I also applied to HKUST and CUHK. </p>
<p>I got offers from HKU and HKUST with a 90-ish average, although I know some people from Vancouver who got into HKU with <em>slightly</em> lower averages. Thing you need to know about the schools in HK is that they’re not like the Canadian universities which let you slack off for the rest of the year after getting admitted as long as you graduate: HKU almost didn’t accept me because my average fell slightly below the one indicated on their conditional offer (they ended up making me go in for an interview). I have to say HKUST’s conditions were easier, but they pretty much want you to maintain near-British Columbia A average (85%), but they weren’t too clear on whether or not they had to be provincially examinable. </p>
<p>As to when non-jupas hear their offers… I’m not sure about the others, but I got my offer from HKUST in about mid-March, and only heard from HKU in around June…</p>
<p>as for CUHK… lol… never heard a word from them… </p>
<p>I hope I’ve been of some help to you. All the best!</p>
