I got my rejection for my 2nd choice program(management and technology) but no update on my 1st choice? Anyone know what this is supposed to mean?
Maybe they are still considering you for your 1st choice @screennamexxx . Were you a regular round applicant ? When did you get the rejection
@Shrimp987 I applied early round and got my rejection last week.
Hi!
I heard that you got your offer with the German Abitur from HKUST. I am a 10th grade student at a German School in Shanghai and my curriculum will be the German International Abitur.
I just wanted to ask, if that’s ok, what your Abi-Durchschnitt was…
And did you apply with TOEFL or with IELTS for the English requirement?
My “Durchschnitt” is currently around 1.9, which is below the 2.0 requirement. But normally I can get to around 1.5.
My English is quite ok with an European skill level of around C1 currently. (FCE Cambridge)
Emm … Do I have a chance with my academic grades?
Ich hoffe du könntest mir helfen.
Is there anyone who actually got an offer for engineering?
cuz i’ve rly heard nothing about engineering’s offer at all 
hope they are just starting to hand out offers
@iwantoffer even i havent heard much about it. Did u also apply main round ?
@Shrimp987 i applied in early round, also for CUHK and HKU
but none of the three did i get an offer
p.s. im taking ib and have an pg of 40
@iwantoffer are u an international applicant ?
@Shrimp987 yes
@iwantoffer have you tried mailing the admissions office ?
@Shrimp987 i mailed cuhk only, they just gave me an “official” reply, i guess it will be same for the other two. since there’s not much news abt engineer school, i decided to wait
anyone still getting offers from business and management? haven’t heard anything since my 2nd-choice rejection…
Hi,
Sorry to hear that but may I ask you a few questions?
- Were you an international applicant
- What did you apply with IB/SAT, predicted grade?
Thanks and good luck!
@raptor2212 yeah I’m an international applicant.
I applied with my SAT (1510) to Business&Management as my first choice but still no reply. Any idea if they’re still sending out offers?
@screennamexxx yeah im pretty sure they are sending offers. They send offers up until the end of April. Good luck.
@indiana2327 were you an international applicant?
@raptor2212 Yeah I am an international applicant from India. I think they would be interviewing us before sending an offer …
@InterstellarCN
Hi!
Sure, no problem - my Abidurchschnitt was 1,4 with none of my final exams below 12 points (and that one was my oral exam, otherwise I had 13,14 and 15 points). I also did the “Fünfte Prüfungskomponente” - I have no idea if that’d be an option for you too, but it’s basically like a research project about a topic you choose (it has to be related to two of your regular school subjects though, none of which can be one of your final Abitur exams) which counts towards your final Abiturdurchschnitt and got 15 points on that too.
I applied with the IELTS (with an overall band of 8.0).
At this point I seriously can’t tell if you’ve got a chance because I don’t really know if anyone else with an Abitur got in - I only know of one more person and he’s truly exceptional with lots of extracurriculars - but I would work on getting as close to 1,5 as possible and also pick up some extracurriculars if you can. Viel Glück! 
I’m an international applicant from Germany and got my offer from the school of business & management with German Abitur of 1,4 (which would be an IB score of 40 i believe).
@vvs hi can i ask when you received your offer from the school of business & management?
@screennamexxx Sure, I got my offer at the end of december, around the 29th.
@vvs did you apply during the early round ?
