Re: Hong Kong UniversityHey! Do you live in Hong Kong? Do you know what their offers are for medicine, and also the number of international applicants they accept each year?(Original post by ExplorerMF)

Re: Hong Kong UniversityHey there! No, I don't live in HK. If you check out their website, the required grades are pretty low but I'm sure most successful applicants have stellar grades! Here's the link to their website: http://www0.hku.hk/facmed/03edu_undergrad_mbbs.htm(Original post by belleoftheball29)

The site doesn't really state the number of international applicants they'll accept but preference is given to local students. According to someone's blog I read, they've expanded the non-jupas quota to about 30? Here's the link: http://hkmed.blogspot.com/2009/02/hk...dmissions.html
It gives you some insight to the admissions process etc, not sure how accurate it is since it was posted back in 2008!
Hope that helps!! -

Re: Hong Kong UniversityI only know for the IB, and it's ridiculous! For IB a student needs 42/45 in IB to secure an interview. It's basically 42+ or you're not getting there! I was predicted 41 last year and that didn't matter...(Original post by belleoftheball29)

Re: Hong Kong Universityhey im a local student, and here's what local people think about HKU economics.
more and more good students are putting hku economics as their first/second choices. i.e. those with remarkable academic achievements.
but a noteworthy point is that you would see many many mainlanders there. esp if you taking economics, and the competition is fierce if you are hoping for passing with first honor.
and probably, the majority of hk lecturers don't speak good English, however, if you do not mind listening to chinglish, it wouldn't matter at all (though a few of them really do speak excellent english).
the attendance is surprisingly low, esp in economics.
though it's not a good location if you are looking for a bustling and busy hong kong, it takes only 15 minutes to get to the city centre like Causeway Bay and Mong Kok and it's a great place to study. the view is also great, probably one of the best places to have the panoramic view of hk.
not only is it ranked first in asia, HKU is also a brilliant uni where you have the freedom of thought, worship and almost everything.
compared to other hk universities, hku has a more relaxed and joyous atmosphereLast edited by larryay; 26-10-2011 at 03:55. -

Re: Hong Kong UniversityI read that last night. 30 seems like a fair amount, though. But non-jupas also includes HK-ers who studied overseas, am I right? I'm an international student from Malaysia. Where're you from, if you don't mind?(Original post by ExplorerMF)

Re: Hong Kong UniversityWhoa that's crazy. Just to snag an interview. Weird, though, other courses don't require such stellar grades. Are you reapplying this year?(Original post by wavezone113)

Re: Hong Kong UniversityYeah, reapplying this year, though I doubt I'll have any better of a chance. Ended up with 40, which is great, but sadly not enough for HKU and CUHK!(Original post by belleoftheball29)
