Hong Kong Universities

your welcome! yes that is correct. university ranking is a major factor of how employers recruit ppl.

well... what do u mean by exposed to the contacts? like are u asking, "if i am studying in HK, will I have the same social network as if i was studying in UK?"

There is no saying where you will get 'exposed to contacts'. You make contacts through friends, lecturers, people from work, events etc. but that is up to you and what you do, more so than where you are. So yes, you would meet people in the UK.

I've applied to HKU for Law.
Submitted the online application so far... Not done as yet!

there are many law degress in hku. what did u apply for ? like LLB, or BBA(law) or BA/LLB or JD? because different courses have different admission grades and they have different interview times.

but up till now, hku admission office is busy interviewing the HKDSE students (a new education curriculum in hong kong) starting form last saturday to mid-december. so u may not hear from them in 2011. keep faith in 2012 for interviews XD

I applied for LLB Bachelors in Law.
How about you?

MBBS Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery. lol that means medicine

how's your academics?

Lol! I know what that means :P

5 A's, 5 B's, 1 C in O levels...

i see your o levels. u still stand a chance if u have very good AS results

my school doesn't let us give AS. So its just A levels now.

is the highest attainable grade in o-level in your scheme is A or A*? if it's A*, then frankly speaking, it is not a very competitive score. if it's A, then your o-level results are not bad. if u have taken some other exams (e.g. SAT / AP / IELTS ) it'll surely help in your application.

I gave my O levels in 2 years... I gave 4 exams one year and 6 the next. So in the first year A* wasn't introduced...
Yeah I'm taking SATs, taken IELTS already...

lol i just found out that we were also chatting on the other thread! the university of hong kong one

icic then the 5A is really not bad. good luck for your application!

Who is doing fast track? Quote me if you are!

Worst Admissions Services staff. Ever!

You are such an ignorant douche - google HK's political and legal system, plus the acronym SAR.

Again you know that law system in HK is distinct from main land China ? You should read some books before making such kind of comment.

No, I wouldn't visit any country were I couldn't expect a fair trial or be in fear of voicing my opinion.

So if a place hasnt got the same human rights as the UK you wont go to it..okay thats good, least it saves some places for the people who wanna go

I'm completely unconcerned by china's human rights record. I know many people in Hong Kong who live lives just as free as people in the west

You now that HK has it's own government and legal system actually ?

Fantastic place for human rights.

Tell me about it! I've sent them several e-mails and haven't received any replies!

last year when i was applying through non-JUPAS, i sent them an email on 27 september, 2010. they replied me on 11th november, 2010. so be patient

btw i was originally not valid to be a non-JUPAS candidate last year. so i negotiated with them for half a year and finally my application became valid on june 2011. still didnt get in. anyway this taught be a lesson that hku admin officers are bastards. they just withhold your application / email for a long time and some dont even reply =.=

Wat thaaaa faaaaaccck!


Btw i've sent my documents today :P
And r u re-applying then?
