<p>What do you think of my chances?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Well I am only applying to HKUST, if i get any indication that I might not get admitted to HKUST I plan on applying to HKU. My stats:
O-level: 6 A, 2 B (Pakistan studies and Islamiyat so don’t matter much)
Expected grades for A-level: A A B B
SAT 1: Gave the November SAT sadly my scores were delayed though my expected scores are 2000+
SAT 2: Giving in January expecting a perfect 800s in physics chemistry and biology.
CV: Above average
Recommendation: Excellent
Personal statement: Excellent
Scholarship/Financial aid: Required
Nationality: Pakistani
Course: BSc in Biology</p>
<p>@potentialhku: Your scores are actually good, your acceptance would depend on how well you do in the interview. Though there is a high chance you will be admitted.</p>
<p>@hulkhoga88888: your SAT is your weak spot still if you are giving TOEFL then it won’t hurt your chances much. If you have good extracurricular and a interesting personal statement you will most probably get admitted.</p>
<p>Thanks Ragnarok1992 for the reply! Yes my SAT is pretty bad, my TOEFL is 106 (I got a little cocky on the listening section and lost 8 marks by not taking notes :S).</p>
<p>Oh and my SAT II scores were:
Biology: 680
Maths II: 690</p>
<p>My extracurricular activities are debating (captain at my school), public speaking (was runner up at a competition), MUN, and I’m on the badminton team at my school. I might also apply for Biology like you (depends on my SAT).</p>
<p>@hulkhogan88888: Even with the 8 marks lost your TOEFL seems quite acceptable. SAT II are also fine, your ECs can prove quite beneficial for your application. They basically cover your weaknesses. So which universities in HK are you applying to.</p>
<p>I’m planning to apply to the big 3…HKU, CUHK, and HKUST. I was just wondering…do you study in Hong Kong?</p>
<p>Nope, but I have had my eyes set on HKUST for the past 1 year so I have been researching about it (+ other HK universities) quite thoroughly. So yeah I can say my predictions have a high chance of being accurate as they are based on statistics from previous few years and experience of other people. Still someone who actually studies in these universities can give you a better response. you should visit the following thread:

<p>Did anyone who applied EA to HKUST or CUHK got there decisions yet? I know this girl in my school got her HKUST acceptance though she’s consider as non-local jupas and she was eligible for the direct admission scheme. I’m applying as an international student so I’m just kind of a bit curious as to when they’ll be releasing decisions.</p>
<p>How’s your cantonese? I came here in 1998 and visit occasionally. no one there really speaks english well, maybe aside from people at the school or who deal with foreigners</p>
<p>had attended HKU interview. and finally got news from CUHK…CUHK is going to have interview session too</p>
<p>Hello folks</p>
<p>If you still haven’t gotten interview and all ur choices are underconsideration, does that mean I am rejected for unis in HK?</p>
