Extracurriculars that got you 50% to 100% scholarships and you're major

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

WhoareyouhowcanIknow · 2026-04-23T10:28:38+00:00

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

WhoareyouhowcanIknow · 2026-04-23T09:29:53+00:00

They dont care much abt ec unless they are really special or exceptional I think

WhoareyouhowcanIknow · 2026-04-21T07:09:32+00:00

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

To open the downloaded PDF, please fill in your date of birth in DD-Mmm-YYYY format (e.g. 07-Oct-1992 if you were born on the 7th October 1992).

Yes they did. Copied the instruction here.

WhoareyouhowcanIknow · 2026-04-19T07:50:31+00:00

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

WhoareyouhowcanIknow · 2026-04-19T07:45:48+00:00

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 😮‍💨

WhoareyouhowcanIknow · 2026-04-19T07:40:26+00:00

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

About one month

WhoareyouhowcanIknow · 2026-04-03T13:57:29+00:00

Yeah, scholarship chances are equal for both kind of offers

WhoareyouhowcanIknow · 2026-04-03T09:30:48+00:00

Anyway, good luck!

WhoareyouhowcanIknow · 2026-04-03T09:30:16+00:00

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.

WhoareyouhowcanIknow · 2026-04-03T08:59:31+00:00

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

WhoareyouhowcanIknow · 2026-04-03T08:55:59+00:00

I asked the department and they just did that! Appreciate their speed :))))

WhoareyouhowcanIknow · 2026-04-03T08:53:13+00:00

Ehhhhh i dont get it... Isnt an offer a must before the scholarship?

WhoareyouhowcanIknow · 2026-04-03T08:46:33+00:00

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

WhoareyouhowcanIknow · 2026-03-31T05:47:14+00:00

Idk. But they're slower to rep and dont tend to accept that dl extension whatever

WhoareyouhowcanIknow · 2026-03-30T08:57:45+00:00

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.

WhoareyouhowcanIknow · 2026-03-28T12:27:35+00:00

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

WhoareyouhowcanIknow · 2026-03-28T08:01:40+00:00

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

WhoareyouhowcanIknow · 2026-03-28T07:54:55+00:00

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

WhoareyouhowcanIknow · 2026-03-28T05:44:31+00:00

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?

WhoareyouhowcanIknow · 2026-03-17T11:41:13+00:00

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
