Do you happen to know the acceptance rate for international applicants? I didn’t get my offer yet so I am freaking out!

^No idea, and I haven’t recieved my offer either. But your stats do seem in line so you just gotta wait now:)

Hellp, has anyone received an interview or offer yet? I applied fast track and haven’t heard of them.

Heard it’s gonna be sometime from end of december to jan… we’ve gotta wait a little

Got interview invitation from HKU I submitted two weeks ago… but didn’t get anything from HKUST I submitted 5 weeks ago…

Did interview through Kira Talent with HKUST at around end of November. Still haven’t heard from them about the admission tho…

I heard somewhere that they’ll release the admission decisions on the 31st of December. Not 100% sure, though.

It says on the website that the results would be announced no later than 12/31… I did the interview with HKU but I forgot to ask them when they will tell me the results;

Got conditional offer from HKUST finally… I need to graduate highschool tho… seems hard

That’s great! Congratulations!

So just to clarify, the latest HKUST will send out acceptance letters for early round is December 31st?

Also, you get an email regardless right? Whether you’re in or deferred(I’m slowly losing my mind)

My friend got into HKUST school of science in the morning, she received an email notification for status update and checked on the website.

I’m applying to school of business and management. Still waiting for the result. The website for school of business and management says that the early round decision will release on 12.28

I’m not sure whether they send an email if you’re deferred. I applied to the engineering school and haven’t heard anything yet either.

I just got my offer, gg.

@Jamieboy Cong! which school are you applying to and did you have an interview with HKUST?

I just got my offer for business as well! The conditional scores seem a little to harsh tho haha

@yourelove Wow that’s cool! I didn’t get any notification, but I’m too, applying to business. Which program are you in?and if you don’t mind, what’s your stats? and did you get an interview?
