<p>im a junior and regret not taking AP classes but im going to get into AP english and history senior year. I really want to get into HKUST but im afraid since I hadnt and arent in any AP classes currently I wont even be suggested as an applicant! Help please! im still not sure what specific school I want to get into HKUST. But probably not buisiness. Do they care a lot about extracurriculars? Im not in any sports or clubs either so im at a disadvantage. Since im in my junior year of HS I feel its too late. What can I do now? Its my dream school.</p>
<p>Keep in mind HK schools are a lot like British schools: they care more about grades and stuff instead of ECs. However of course, ECs and other experiences are read.</p>
<p>It greatly depends on which major you intend to. You can easily get into HKUST for the easiest major like Psychology or English, generally non-business or non-scientific ones. Even with equivalents of 1800 SATs and no APs. But for the harder majors, even an equivalent of 2200 SAT and 5 APs might not get you in. </p>
<p>I’m not sure about this since you didn’t mention the major, and different majors have different requirements. The general rule for any HK universities is that you have to have SAT+SAT II and some AP exam results. AP classes are not necessary.</p>
