***Official HKUST thread (Class of 2021) ***

@Maggie1224 I got into BBA Marketing and Business and Management. I’m currently a IB student, so I just applied with my IB predicted scores and they were 41/45! Also I did an interview through Kira Talent. Hope this helps, and wish you luck :slight_smile:

@yourelove applying to BBA Marketing as my first choice too, but I was so stupid that I chose BBA Management instead of B&M for second choice. I’m American Pattern so I applied with SAT and SAT2s. I assume they should release all SBM decisions at the same time, but I’ve received nothing so far, not even an interview…Anyway, hope that I’ll get the decision soon, though not sure whether they will send a notification for deferred applicants…

I logged in today and noticed that in my status it doesn´t even say ¨under consideration¨ unlike my app in other colleges. My status is blank. Haven´t they reviewed American Patterned Curriculums yet?

Congratz! Can you let us know what were your conditions?

@Maggie1234 Don’t stress too much about it! You’ll hear good news. Did you apply for early?
@Marizaho They required a 40/45 for BBA Marketing and 37/45 for Business and Management. Both really high when compared to last year :((

Hey guys, I got my offer as well but the deadline to reply is 17th January. I’ve applied to some other international universities whose decisions will come out till march. I want to consider all of my options and then decide?! Can I change my decision afterwards aswell?

@svigid It depends if HKUST is your first choice or not. It happened to me with HKPolyU. I got my offer two weeks ago and my deadline is Dec 30. I haven´t heard anything from HKUST which is my first choice so in case I get rejected, I paid my PolyU non refundable registration fee (around $2000 us dollars). I don´t mind wasting $2000 if I get into HKUST. Not sure about your financial situation. I´d love to hear what you are going to do!

Also, can you tell us your stats? I´d like to know if I still stand a chance or not hehe.

I wonder why they set the deadline so early when the semester starts in September…
Just doesn’t give the time to look at results for other schools I applied for.

@yourelove Yes, I applied early and submitted the application on 10.31.

I applied for Economics and had an IB predicted of 39/45 when I applied (41/45 now). I also had the interview at the beginning of December. My conditional is 37.

I have applied for Industrial Engineering and had an IB predicted of 37. My conditional is 34. Hope to see you all in September.
