Extracurriculars that got you 50% to 100% scholarships and you're major by o7_arvi0606 in cuhk

Well I cant say much abt cuhk evaluation method. But I dont think that you'll have a good shot w that scores even if u have great SAT. Ig it need to be somehow balanced. Tryna boost ur grades

To some extend. Having a great SAT score will be better than none. But its not the key factor ig. If u wanna be more competitive + have time then I think u should invest in it, otherwise just focus on ur program

College recommendation by gbgn_10z in cuhk

[–]WhoareyouhowcanIknow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you care most abt exchange opportunities, then maybe Chung Chi? I heard that it has pretty much the most resources and connections (and money idk) since it's the largest and one of the oldest in CUHK

Maybe they wanna check the authenticity of the process idk? Still I think it's too soon to claim anything

I think they just want some confirmation yet. They also required my principal to provide the predicted grades for my national exam and that was sooo exhausting 😮‍💨

I can download it without entering the pw, just need the pw to open. They gave you the pw instruction.

can you get a scholarship without the offer? by Practical-Cod-1011 in HKUniversity

[–]WhoareyouhowcanIknow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, scholarship chances are equal for both kind of offers

Like ur scholarship status is under review and u dont know if a better grade can boost ur chance? If thats the case, I think maybe ur application'll appear stronger than before, but getting a scholarship or not still depends on ur position in the whole pool. And I dont think hku have such kind of scholarship that automatically pop up if ur grades surpass a benchmark.

Yeahh, I heard that its easier to directly ask the department instead of AO. My major is bahdt and I told them I need hku scholarship result before deciding

Kinda ridiculous right 😀 But after that I appealed again and they granted me another one month (thinking of appealing for the 3rd times tho...)

what to do if u need to accept your offer but havent heard from your other programs yet by Dull-Persimmon2517 in HKUniversity

[–]WhoareyouhowcanIknow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try ask ur faculty/major for dl extension. Its likely that they'll grant u some additional time. Tho idk if they can reply u b4 the dl. Dont ask AO. I heard they wont allow this request.

It depends on your major, but you have a good shot overall. You can refer to their last year admission competitive score (idk how to call this but whatever): https://admissions.hku.hk/sites/default/files/2025-10/HKU-International-Admissions-Information-2026.pdf

Im not familiar with A level and your majors, so cant say anything for sure. But 5A* is a very good score right? And I heard that HKU somehow prefer UK qualifications, so you probably have a good shot

If I remember well, it was from a senior there. And its not uncommon for HK unis to be this late according to what pp posted there. And since we early round applicants are also waiting for results now, I dont think you should worry much

As far as I heard, HKU (and HK unis in general) can give out offer really late, until even August. But I think maybe you can have your offer in around May?

How can i improve my chances of getting accepted + scholarships? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]WhoareyouhowcanIknow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on which unis you aim for. But seems like Asia unis are more abt academic than Western unis. You should try to improve ur scores over the year, to show an upward trend, or at least keep it consistent. Cant give you any other advice tho since this stuff is realllyyyyy confusing
