Hong Kong Universities (NON-JUPAS) Applicants 2017

OP

Hi All !!
I have submitted my online application via fast track for CUHK ,ＨKU and HKUST. What do I need to prepare for interviews(what would I expect to be asked?) as I applied to quantitative finance in HKUST and CUHK , International business and global management for HKU.
Thxxx

I feel like interviews in Hong Kong are more general, and not as intense as Oxbridge one. Just read around your course

WOW!!! what course did you apply for ??? and can you remember what did they ask you ?
I think universities in Hongkong mostly consider the grades instead of PS and extra-curricular activities.

Universities in Hongkong no longer invite candidates to London for an interview this year so it will be on skype presumably.
By the way what courses did you apply for?

Hey guys, would love some advice, i just checked my PolyU offer for marketing/management and turns out i got declined =/
Can anyone give me some info on Lingnan Uni? It looks pretty good, has a 3 year business program instead of the usual 4 year ones i see in other unis.

Also, should i bother finishing my application for cityU? I heard it's harder to get into than polyU.

I have 24 points in the IB diploma, should i even bother trying with any more HK unis?

Thanks guys.

just try if you have money. the non-jupas application doesn't have a fix criteria. there are cases that candidate with lower predicted/actual grades got in while there are candidate with higher grades did not receive the offer.
