<p>I think you’ll have hope for NYU because someone in our school (with a really bad GPA) got into NYU London (though they’re allow to transfer back to NYU in New York). I also think you have a chance for UCB. As for HK schools, I think you’ll be able to get in HKUST and CUHK. As for HKU I’m not sure since it will depend on what major you applied to. I’m just basing all these prediction off my school’s past/this year’s college acceptances. Good luck (:</p>

<p>Also a quick question, did you apply early for HKUST and CUHK? If you did, have you heard from them yet?</p>

<p>sorry I have been away for a long time… thanks for your reply :slight_smile:
I applied to Global Business for all three HK schools so it will be VERY tough… haha
I had my interviews for HKUST last month, but I haven’t got any news from them yet… still waiting…
oh yeah I applied early for both HKUST and CUHK :)</p>

<p>I’m looking at CUHK for journalism. I’m a Chinese adoptee living in the United States applying as an international student. </p>

<p>Here are my stats:
GPA: 3.87-3.9something unweighted (somewhere around there)
SAT: 2040 CR 640 M 630 W 770
AP: Language Arts and Composition and US History - 5s on both.
EC: Great ECs - president of a human rights club in my school, published in national news website, interned at online livestreaming network over the summer, and more.</p>

<p>Also, is there anything I should know about the admissions process? I can’t find much information.</p>
