<p>@sid007 and @tushar13895, my school is affiliated to CBSE. i dont know how their process goes on like, but i do remember that when their representative came to our school a few months back, he said that no news is good news. which means that your applications must be being positively processed, in my opinion. just keep calm =)
my condition is according to the marks they want me to get in the boards. but obviously, i know a senior in hkust and from what i’ve concluded, each person, according to their academic and extracurricular profile, gets a different kind of offer. but yeah, they’re giving just one-year scholarships, which i guess must be getting renewed according to your performance in college later =P
i applied for engineering btw.
and yeah @jm11544, i think the business and management department must be having a different way to evaluating their applicants, so yeah, an interview could be possible. hope it went well =)</p>
<p>@aneebee Nice(y)! Can you tell me your grades… Am psyched :-S </p>
<p>@aneebee Considering the fact that I totally bombed my interview, I don’t think the interview matters that much</p>
<p>@jm11544 well i hope that too is in the case of HKU, my interview was just okay =P
@sid007 message me.</p>
<p>@aneebee When do u have to accept ur offer by? Mine says March 7th and that’s well before any other universities send out offers. If that is the case, then if I accept the offer, it would mean that i’d have to forfeit my chances of getting into other universities. Do u think I can ask for an extension?</p>
<p>@jm11544 mine is worse. 28th feb -.- and the worst thing is that, i’ve got an offer from HKU too. their deadline is 4th of march. in thick soup as to which university to choose. any advice/opinions?
well, i’d suggest you wait till around 5th of march or so to pay. all that you have to do is click accept and pay, thats all, right? visa’s deadline must be a week after that. till then, if you dont get any better offers, i suggest you go for this. see, theyre doing a favour by saving you a seat. i dont think they’ll be willing to extend your deadline. but you could try be requesting them, no harm in that.
btw, where are you from?</p>
<p>and i’d like to ask for other people’s opinions too. HKU or HKUST for Engineering? any ideas about the pros and cons of both?</p>
<p>@aneebee damn thats soooo early. In terms of HKU vs HKUST engineering, I really don’t know which one is better as im going for business. Anyway to answer ur other question, I was born in Hong Kong but Ive done most of my studies in Canada. You?</p>
<p>@jm11544 ohh. thats cool =P well, you must’ve applied for places like UofToronto and McGill and others too, right? they’re too slow in their process i believe 
you must be waiting for their results, i’m pretty sure =P
i’m from India.</p>
<p>I am glad I haven’t received any thing from them. If they want me to decide whether I am going there, I will be a pain. 
Cong for everyone who got in already and good luck with the rest! :)</p>
<p>Can someone tell me which business program is better between HKUST (first year) or University of Western Ontario (year 2)? Thanks!</p>
<p>Anyone know when does HKUST release their decisions?</p>
<p>had a skype interview with HKU for bachelor of social sciences about a week and a half ago, any ideas on when i will hear from them again? i also have an interview with UST this week for global studies, does anyone have any info about what type of questions will be asked? i have a predicted 36 for IB and go to a Beijing international school. any admission info about bcsoc from HKU or bcglobal studies from HKUST is appreciated !</p>
<p>@kameha i got an email last week from them, i have a phone interview this week for bcsoc global studies</p>
<p>nevermind I think ill be going to CUHK’s IBCE next year</p>
<p>got a conditional offer from hku for bachelor of social science</p>
<p>Does anyone know when will be the HKUST regular decision released? </p>
<p>Does anyone know whether or not HKU tends to give conditional offers that are higher than the transcript you sent them…</p>
<p>For example, if I have an 85 average currently, will they give me a 90 condition? </p>
<p>Also, what are some tips for the interview? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Did anyone get the decision from HKUST for the business program? I had my interview around a month back. </p>
<p>@vowlroar i doubt it. when i had my interview they are asking me if i was condient to meet their condition because it was the same as my predicted. I took IB though. they gave me an offer of 36- same as my predicted. </p>
