Competitiveness of Transfer Admission in HKUST?

<p>Hi, I'm a prospective student and I was wondering how competitive the transfer program (Non-local Applicants with Post-Secondary or Other Qualifications) is in HKUST. I have decent academic records and ECs, but I don't have any international awards. I'm not asking for my chance though, just the general stats of admitted students. Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>My friend got admitted this year as a transfer student from a small college in America. He’s going into the 3-year program. He had a 2200+ SAT and six high AP scores. College GPA was 3.9+.</p>

<p>Hmm, did he get any scholarship on entrance with those specs?</p>

<p>^Yeah, I think he got a small (less than half-tuition) entrance scholarship.</p>
