2018 HKU Dentistry applicants

Hi everyone. Since I cannot find a thread for HKU Dentistry 2018, I decide to set up this thread. I sent off the main round application in November, but haven't received any reply from the university yet (not even interview invitation). The status is still under consideration. I am just wondering whether there is anyone has already received the interview invitation. I also want to know if there is any current hku dentistry student (non-jupas entry) can answer my question that when the interview invitation of main round will be sent off usually.

I am a local citizen in hk, but studying year 13 in the uk currently. Therefore, if I am invited to the interview, I need to arrange the air ticket and return to hk for interview.

I will be really grateful if there is anyone answering my questions!

I received an invitation to interview yesterday. However it is on 15/1 and I will be in the uk by the time being. It states that "please note that the faculty usually will not issue offer without interviewing the candidate in person". So I think we may need to buy flight ticket to attend the interview. I don't know what to do and wish if the interview date can be earlier. :frown:

Wish you good luck! I have not received any reply from hku yet, it is mentioned that my application is still under consideration.

I think there are some relevant information about the interview in the internet, you can google it.

Thank you! My interview invitation was sent out by email and my status on the application system is also "under consideration" now, so I dont think they will change it until either "accepted" or "rejected". But def keep an eye out for your email inbox and hopefully yours will arrive soon too! Best of luck! :smile:
