Amazing. A few from the class at my school the year above went into medicine too, HKU I think maybe also CUHK, but they only had 4A*, and they were the center assessed grades from last June. You have a very solid chance

ahahaha thank you :smile: do you know whether the conditional offer includes something similar to a UMS score or not - because on their website they said it requires a UMS of 97% or above or something similar to that. Also, I'm also considering other UK unis so i guess cuhk is my second choice (?)

No idea, but I did hear 95% UMS is a good target. 97% is insane but I wouldn’t be too surprised if they changed it to that

Nice, but are you considering coming back to HK for career ?
If yes, you might want to consider CUHK more closely, bc that HK licensing test ...

tbh i'm still not too sure yet - i don't mind working in either HK or UK, but i think there would be more opportunities for research in the UK, which I'm really interested in.

Hey I received it as well, is it programme based or is this some first round interview where this determines whether we are eligible for the second interview which is program based? I’m really not sure

I have mine on the 13th, how about you?

I think they want a clearer picture of how a person may adapt to university.
I am just after you.

How did yours go? Mine went really well. I made a really big contribution by inviting a person who was very passive in the discussion to express his opinion.

Mine went well. I was initially challenged but I redeemed myself by covering other points which he didn’t challenge. The guy who challenged me tho was applying to LLB Law and MBBS how tf does that work
