HKU / CUHK Medicine Applicants 2014

Why are you classified as an international applicant then ._.

this is the answer I am trying to find out :-

Apparently, holding a passport and staying in Uk for studying do NOT means that the person is ORDINARILY RESIDING in UK for uni fee purpose (this is the only black and white from the UK government paper).

The interpretation of the term "ORDINARILY RESIDING in UK" seems various from what I heard like
1. Have a home address in UK
2. stay in Uk for >= three years
3. have taxable income from UK (how much???) for the past 3 years

This is why I posted this question here. However, it seems no definite answers so far.....

Not heard from them. Sigh.................

Their action is quick in making the final decision after yesterday (Wed) interview.

Called at around 5pm today, and she explicitly said that she thinks "my chance is low because most offers have already been made"

This is so depressing after a whole month's wait :frown:

I think your quoted sentence applies to anyone who haven't receive any call from them. Sigh...think I will call them tomorrow and face the reality.

Forgot your background...Are you a graduate applicant?

Graduate interviewed on 25 July! Her answer was quite depressing and she said I might not even be on the waiting list... not sure if that's supposed to be good or bad news.

Must be the latter since the most up-to-date and the decision was made by the medical faculty. Medical faculty had the full set of information.

The general admission office just serves as an agent---in receiving and endorsing your application to respective offices and sending out official offer/reject letter.

Called CUHK today and should be the same lady receiving my call last week.

After I provided my application number, her tone sounds become puzzling and embarrassing and needs a few seconds before starting the next sentence. And she said I was on waiting list.

Then I asked about my position on the waiting list. The reply was "There are many different categories of students. Therefore, it is difficult to judge and there is no such full list regarding positioning. And there are many students on waiting list too."

She confirmed with me that in this stage, places may not be available unless somebody gave up the offer.

Finally, she advised me to wait until next week.

Start losing hope now T_T

Congrats! Would you mind telling more about your background (e.g. graduate applicant? when did you have your interview?)

Regarding my reply above, that means I sucked T_T
