<p>@ucbalumnus His experience wasn’t that great when he went for the camp so he decided that he’d apply to the US. Moreover, IITs only have Applied Mathematics and he is also interest in Pure Mathematics and hasn’t made up his mind which field he wants to specialised in.</p>
<p>Yes, he has applied to HKUST but even if he gets in, his heart is still set to US. He has also applied to NUS and NTU.</p>
<p>His budget is around: $50,000 for all 4 years which is low and that’s one of the reason he applied to the Ivies expecting good aid.</p>
