One of the Hku dental student said they will give you an offer as long as you show that you are normal with good personality in the interview. So they might think my personality is not good enough and they might could tell that I am not really keen to study Dentistry. Because my mum asked me to apply it. I personally think waitlist mean blacklist. Lost of hope. Cry cry... Got two waitlist out of five subjects that I applied.

I am a bit confused that on the email it said 'I am pleased to inform you that the Committee on BDS Admissions suggested that your application be put on the wait list which may be re-considered between July and August 2021. You may check your application status online in August 2021 for any updates on the outcome. In the meantime, your status will remain “Under consideration”.'

Is that your first choice out of all application? I think I am a bit unhappy about not getting an offer. But at the same time I don’t think I would study in Hong Kong even I get in. May I ask whether you do any art related activities or subject? It seems they want artistic people because in my interview, they asked me if I have any extracurricular activities related to art or crafting, which obviously I don’t have any of them. I am not sure if my assumption is right. Is there any Dentistry offer holder who could tell me that if you are artistic or not?

OMG I swear we are in similar situation! I didn't initially want to apply but my parents suggested it would be wise to do so which I then applied. don't get me wrong, I do like dentistry and I put it as my first choice in hku but personally I would like to stay in the uk... but yeh I get you I am a bit unhappy about the whole thing and although I probs wouldn't study in Hong Kong if I get in. I didn't do any art related activities, I am not artistic at all haha maybe thats why...
