Hi guys! Didn't see a thread talking about this, so I'm sorry if this is a duplicate. I'm just making this so Medical applicants to HK this year can have a discussion thread.
I'm horribly underprepared and scared AF :/

Hi guys. I'm applying to both medic and dentistry. I would like to ask a few questions pls.
1) predicted / achieved grades?
2) if you have applied to more than one course, how did you structure your personal statement?
(I have already finished my A levels 4A*)
Thanks!

Which unis have you applied to? I've applied medicine in both CUHK and HKU.
1. Predicted 4A*, you should 100% be fine
2. I essentially took my UK statement and expanded it a bit to fit the 6000char limit of HKU, and for CUHK I trimmed out a lot (250 word limit bruh moment)

Wait is the HKU limit 6000 characters? I thought it was 1000 words?
Also, did you apply to any other courses?
Cheers

I only applied to hku. I don't know any cantonese but I do know Mandarin... So I don't think I can enter any medic courses in Hk. Are you fluent in canto?

I can't remember if it was 6k chars or 1k words anymore - but my PS was below both limits.
I also applied to HKU Pharm, which I received an interview offer from.
You're welcome!

Sorry for asking so many questions. How do you structure your personal statement for both medicine and pharmacy? I'm applying to dent med and law... I have no idea cuz these courses are all unrelated and so competitive as well.

edit: My PS was structured for Medicine because I was using Pharm as a backup choice just in case I get rejected by all medical schools (which at this point is still a possibility)

I believe a conversation-level knowledge should be enough. Doesn't need to be very fluent, but obviously if you're fluent it'll give you a higher score in that particular section of the MMI.
