<p>Congratz Applepie95 , I am From Tunisia , HKUST Engineering . where are you from ?? what do you love about hkust ?? any scholarships ?? I hope to see you in August Inshallah</p>
<p>@elisexia That sucks 
</p>
<p>Did you apply to CUHK? </p>
<p>One of my friends got in to HKU journalism with like a 95% and above average…</p>
<p>@vowlroar I did apply to CUHK’s journ. & comm. but as a late applicant… Hope for the best!
When did ur friend get the offer? I think that your friend must have impressive academic performance as well as in other aspects too!</p>
<p>@elisexia I think she just got her offer recently 
She’s bloody smart…</p>
<p>What are you grades like, if you don’t mind me asking?</p>
<p>Everyone going to HKUST, search up the HKUST UG Class of 2017 on Facebook to talk to others going to the same uni. Same thing available for HKU as well.</p>

<p>@vowlroar I am taking SG Alevel, I got AAA/A for the H2/H1. GP D & PW A. (5 Distinction)
Btw, I worked as an intern Journalist in a local chinese newspaper in 2011 and now having an internship in another local chinese newspaper. I am also a student correspondent for a local chinese newspaper when I was in school. FYI, these are the only 3 major newspaper in sg.</p>
<p>@elisexia nice! do you think the standards to get in to CUHK is much more lenient? i know for sure that HKU is all about stats and numbers but i have heard that CUHK is much more focused on students’ ethics, personality and profile as a whole… any truth to this? good luck on CUHK, btw!!</p>
<p>@vowlroar can’t really comment on this, I, myself is just a late applicant. (No offer yet, got to wait as well)
I guess so, but in terms of ranking for the course itself, I would go for CUHK. Well, from a bigger picture, HKU still stands out more.</p>
<p>@elisexia all i can say is good luck!!! i wish you all the best!</p>
<p>@vowlroar Thanks! Hopefully!</p>
<p>@elisexia remember to update us when you get results! :)</p>
<p>Huh live in HK if you’re applying Law or Medicine go for HKU. Otherwise I know the other departments vary, some of the arts seem pretty mediocre, wouldn’t go there for non typically ‘Asian’ subjects (you know what I mean folks…)
HKUST - Seems pretty nice, good for more ‘techy’ stuff I guess.
CUHK - Don’t know much about it, have some friends who go there if you want to get into the debating scene :P, I think they have a nice music department according to my flute teacher. Seems respectable enough, pretty nice campus and lots of surrounding residential houses.
(Other HK unis)
PolyU - Both my parents work here, they have a fantastic fashion / design department, the other departments vary, it has a decent but pretty small campus. It’s not the best in HK by a long mile but there are some great departments.</p>
<p>Not going to HK unis unless I can avoid it, cause of personal reasons But in general HK is a pretty nice place to apply to if you don’t mind pretty small spaces, crowds and lots of noise, and if you live in crowded areas a lot of pollution. If you like good food, a busy atmosphere, shopping, quite a thriving social atmosphere, it’s a good place to go! Sadly no Jackie Chan does not pop out of every other corner but thats another story ;)</p>
<p>Hi. Has anyone enrolled for HKU mfin 2013??</p>
<p>Does anyone know when the offers for late application for business management at HKUST will come out?</p>
<p>Hey everyone, it’s been long since i last commented on this post 
well I am joining HKU for UG Engineering in september 2013, is any one here enrolling in HKU, no matter in what program, in september 2013?</p>
<p>Got an offer from CUHK for Journalism & communication ytd evening, as a late applicant.
May I know is it easy to apply for scholarship??</p>
<p>@elisexia CONGRATS!! how did everything go? any advice for future applicants?</p>
<p>@vowlroar , no interview and nothing… But I did sent them a copy my of NTU and NUS offer letters. I guess that helps a little</p>
<p>I accepted NUS’s offer, but pretty worried about the fees, studying in HK is way much much more exp than in sg. (In sg, govt help to subsidize the fee & you can get interest-free loans as well)
Still can’t decide to keep CUHK’s offer or not, I still wish to get into HKU Journalism more.
Will consider if hard to get scholarships, dont wish to increase my family’s financial burden.
Studying in NUS, I guess I dont even nid my parents to fund my education.</p>
