It should be very different now. I found it quite easy and didn't feel challenged much, but when i got to Oxford i did find that HKU had taught basically everything.

Did you find it boring then? :/ Did you do BEd+Eng or purely BEd ?

You mean BA+BEd. English is one of the two majors in BEd.

BEd as mentioned. As I did a history minor.

My life didn't evolve around reading at HKU.

Hi everyone!:smile: sorry to interrupt..

I am from HK and studying A2 now in UK. Previous year, I got Maths(A), Econ(A), Physics(A), Design&Technology(A), Chinese(A) for my AS level. I got predicted Maths(A*) Physics(A*) Econ(A). I would like to apply for HKU, CUHK and UST.
these are my choices.
HKU: 1st:Accounting & Finance 2nd:Architectural Studies 3rd: Economics&Finance
CUHK: 1st:Architectural Studies 2nd: Professional Accountancy 3rd: Economics
UST: 1st: Accounting & Finance 2nd: Economics

I love both Accounting and Architect equally...I know they are not relevant..:P
Do I have a firm chance to get the offers? I really wish i can get both A&F and Archi from HKU and CUHK...its competitive but is it possible?? And do I need to write another Personal Statement and send to the Archi faculty if my PS on the online application is about A&F, am I allowed to do so?? I am so confused,....

Write two personal statements, sending the one about Accounting and Finance wherever it is your first choice and sending the architectural one to the CUHK faculty, as that is your first choice there. Your grades are good, dont worry, you will get in as long as tyou get those grades.
Hey guys, I'll be applying to HKU and CUHK

HKU:1st choice : Bachelor of Arts(Language)
:2nd choice : IBGM
CUHK:1st choice IBGM
:2nd Choice IBBA

Would that be sufficient for IBGM? it's a really competitive course and is anyone else applying for IBGM here?

Good luck to everyone !

I thought IBGM has to be your first choice in order to be considered?
