<p>@Rainbowrainbow What hall would you recommend? I’m thinking of St. Johns now… It’s just…The hall websites are not helpful at all >__< usually it’s just a few pictures and thats it xD.</p>
<p>@casper- Im frm bangladesh. Y next year? the semester starts in September. Will see u at hku tc</p>
<p>Hello. I am new here!!!
I have applied to HKUST in late jan, and i am just waiting for the reply. But do you guys know what offer they give people for BBA course? I am doing A levels (UK) btw. thx!!!</p>
<p>@Casper1991 - St.John’s is the hall for you if you are very sociable, do not need to sleep, likes to party and are sporty, and very willing to take up responsibilities at hall. The admissions committee is just a bunch of second/third year guys and they want people who are fun. I know quite a lot of people in HKU and they warned me not to apply lol on the other hand Star Hall likes to take good looking people… good luck finding one that you like!</p>
<p>@flamingboy93 - Hey I’m doing UK GCEs too 
My UST offer for BBA(GBus) was AAB (basically unconditional…) and full scholarship if 4A*s. Good luck!</p>
<p>@helpperman89 - Econs and finance are generally thought to be better taught at UST because HKU is famous for medicine and law. I think you should consider the course structure and campus life (read my post about HKU a few pages ago!) =D</p>
<p>@verystressed - why? actually my parents too haha we re having a hard time deciding between IBGM and GBus at UST. paid the deposits though at least we will have more time to think…</p>
<p>@shaikh123 - do it! UST is a great school, just think of it as your backup!</p>
<p>Can someone help me with my previous post? Pls… Thx. (:</p>
<p>@h1 - Pretty generic questions, I don’t think you have to worry much at all - I never recall anyone saying they got ask really specific questions. Probably Why HKUST, Why the program and not the others etc. Why the subject</p>
<p>@To whom it may concern - for those who are thinking about BUSINESS in between HKU and HKUST - honestly, for undergraduate level its almost the same. The perceived “better” is primarily because the GBUS program in HKUST adopts the Harvard Business Case teaching style - Im not sure for the regular BBA. Anyway, HKU is moving towards that approach too. And this is more evident in the Masters program think UST is among the top 10 and HKU among the top 50-ish in the world -No formal ranking is given for undergrad business… and honestly… what do you think you can get from a ‘better’ BBA program (you dont get a pair of wings just cos its marginally better or perceived better)</p>
<p>For Econ and Finance, I would say the differences are minimal.</p>
<p>@minkey - If you really have issues deciding, PM me with your concerns</p>
<p>Does anyone know whether or not it is the admission officer who makes the final decision on your application at HKUST?</p>
<p>hello all! yesterday someone from HKUST contacted me for scholarship interview, or so they said, and mentioned that i’ve already been “admitted” but the delay in their notification was because they wanted to complete the interview. In spite of me asking her whether the word “admitted” meant an offer or an acceptance, she only said she would inform me shortly about the amount of scholarship i am eligible for. can anyone shed light on this issue? Does everyone receive offers from HKUST or acceptances?</p>
<p>@minkey
congrats for the offer for gbus!
Well, I have applied to BBA as first choice. do u have any ideas what offer UST usually give out to people for normal BBA?</p>
<p>@flamingboy
Hey, I don’t know about the BBA (normal BA) programme, I only know, that I have selected it as my third choice. However, I got an offer for Prof. Accounting and for GB, but they didn’t provide an offer for that programme. Do you think, it’s competitive though?</p>
<p>congrats to those of you who got in! i am so jealous now. i wish HKU and UST reply me with favorable results… :(</p>
<p>Can someone tell me how high is there a chance for me to get into hkust if I am invited for an interview?</p>
<p>Does it mean that I have met their academic requirement when I am invited for an interview or…?</p>
<p>Thx. :-)</p>
<p>ATTENTION: ADMITTED HKU STUDENTS</p>
<p>sooo I presume that everyone who’s got an offer would receive two attachments in the email from ienroll, one of which is entitled “Important Notes For International Students 2011”. In that document, it says we can start applying for accommodation right? But then for some reason, neither of the two links they provided on page 2 seems to be working >__< is any one of you facing the same problem? if so, has any of you emailed HKU and asked? thanks!!!</p>
<p>p.s. I am going there to study Econ&Fin. Soooo if any of you have also accepted offers from the Faculty of Business and Economics, send me a private message as I would love to get to know you guys before the term actually starts!</p>
<p>cheers!</p>
<p>@matchaadict:- Both of my links are working!</p>
<p>ANYONE GOING TO HKU FACULTY OF ENGINEERING?</p>
<p>@geezee247</p>
<p>I see… do you have the ID and pin? I think we need that before we can log on and start applying for accommodation.</p>
<p>Wow. Haven’t been following this thread for a couple of weeks. so much stuff! haha</p>
<p>anyone who have got an offer for BBA (normal) from UST, what offer did you get? For A levels (UK) please.</p>
<p>Hello, Ive reading through the posts here, but never got to find the correct answer for my question.
I’ve applied to HKU and HKUST engineering,
and got accepted to HKUST last month, and did an interview with HKU on March 3, and waiting for a reply.
I am not sure, but if i get into HKU engineering, which one should i go to? HKU or HKUST?
the ranking for engineering faculty is higher for UST, but the overall ranking for the university is higher for HKU. Anyone can help to answer this question?? Thxxx</p>
<p>My friend got accepted to HKU social sciences (a double major) on an unconditional offer. Just to say there are people w/o conditions. But her grades weren’t great (3.27 gpa, good SATs 2160), as somebody mentioned before in a post, in order to get an unconditional offer.</p>
