take it with a pinch of salt but i do think there is a second round of interview after results day. However, I think the main round is still the one in Dec-Jan though

Yup! Good luck everyone!

On a semi-related note, HKU has just updated their entry requirements for dentistry:
"Due to the limitation of the teaching hospital's capacity, the Faculty of Dentistry is unable to take in non-local candidates to the BDS programme in September 2023."
^^ This can be found on the HKU International Qualification page
Even though I am not affected by this change, I still feel bad for non-local students cuz HKU could have informed BDS applicants before the submission deadline :s-smilie: chances are someone wasted their first choice and will be rejected by default

has anyone gotten an interview offer?
Still no :frown:

Hi guys, nice to meet you all! I also applied for HKU BDS and I'm a non-jupas applicant, doing A-level in the uk right now. I hope they could start sending interview offers out asap cuz the waiting is dreadful. Do any of you know if the interview going to be online or face-to-face?

should be face-to-face lol, so theres a pretty huge chance that u'll have to buy another set of tickets for the interview (take it with a pinch of salt tho)

nope, i know they received int invites last year on 23 Dec but obv they didnt give them out on 23 this year. Also 24-27 Dec are holidays so the fastest they can get back to us would be on 28 (tmw). Stay hopeful everyone!!
Has anyone received an interview invite?
