<p>I was wondering how hard these schools are to get into for Americans. What is the admissions process like? And what do they require (Sat or ACT, or just GPA) and what do the expect for those tests/ GPA? what is Financial Aid like for Americans?</p>
<p>I have looked on these school's web pages and I am unable to come to a really good conclusion what how hard it is for Americans to get into these schools? Any information will help! </p>
<p>PS what do my chance look personally: I have a 29 ACT and a 4.123 GPA, I am a member on my school's Scholars,Math, and Engineers teams. I also play tennis for the school. I spent last summer studying in china. This summer i have an internship at the state archives and will also be a TA for a class of Chinese Teachers studying in grad school in America.</p>
<p>You’re going to need two+ APs or an 1800+ on the SAT. They don’t take the ACT. Your GPA is fine. They don’t care about softs.</p>
<p>Your APs will need to be specific depending on what your going for (i.e engineering needs physics, etc.)</p>
<p>shouldnt be too hard with your scores. internationals get great leniency in the admissions process :D</p>
<p>I am an American junior looking at international schools (canada and hk so far) to avoid the expenses American schools of similar caliber. I’m interested in applying for the dual comp engineering/business administration program at HKUST. I read much of the HKU or HKUST thread in the international students forum, but still am a little confused or some things.</p>
<p>Here are my stats:
SAT (1st time) - Math: 720, Reading: 660, Writing: 580, Composite: 1960/2400
Around 4.3~ GPA (3.75~ unweighted).
No APs offered for freshman or sophomores, taking AP chemistry and AP USHist, self-studying AP macro/microecon (assume 5/5 on chem and ushistory). I don’t see myself in any position to self study for physics in addition to micro/macro econ :
Took Computer Architecture (A) and Internet Essentials (B+) at Northeastern University for undergrad credit
On my school’s FIRST robotics team</p>
<p>Are different programs easier/harder to get into (it seems there is one application for both the BA/Comp Eng and just Comp Eng programs)? What degree of comfort should I have for getting accepted (almost certain, probably, maybe, probably not, no way)? I know absolutely no Chinese (but can understand accents fairly well), would I be fine attending the school? And if anyone can answer this: how do American college classes compare with classes at HKUST (in terms of how they are taught)?</p>
<p>I hope someone will be able to answer at least some of my questions,
Thanks!</p>
