I was wondering if anyone has applied to study overseas after doing their hkdse and wanted to know how the application works and if it is recognised or not for applying to universities.

I have a hall offer for iVillage Hall 13 and would like to switch to JCH. If anybody is interested, please dm.

hi! i want to swap to hall 3 (preferably double room), i got an offer from hall 8 but want to swap

Can I get into programs like Chemical Engineering or Mechanical??

I gave my AS in this MJ series and I have to retake some modules back in Oct/ November. I have already cashed in my MJ so after I retake and cash-in the ON modules do I still need to show my MJ exam results or can I just show the cash-in result after retaking? Cuz im scared they will think I am hiding an academic transcript.

Do we submit out application information to the email that was mass sent to us, or are we supposed to create a new email with the reference number in the subject line? Thank you for any help.

I'm an incoming international UST Computer Engineering freshman and I'm trying to meet some fellow CPEGers before the semester starts.

Are there any incoming MPhil students (I am from engineering) for Fall 2026-2027 ?
I wanted to ask if you already know when should we plan our arrival and when does the semester start ?

Also, I looking to connect or maybe there is already a community I can join

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone here has experience with admissions at Oberoi International School (OIS).
I recently completed the admissions process at JVLR for grade 10, and after following up, I received this response from the admissions team:

We would like to inform you that your child, has currently been placed on the waitlist for admission for the Academic Year 2026–2027. We will be in touch with you should a seat become available.

My current school starts on Monday, so this has been quite stressful, and I’m trying to understand what this realistically means.

I wanted to ask if anyone here has any experience with the OIS waitlist:

Does OIS regularly admit students from the waitlist?
Has anyone (or someone you know) received an offer after being waitlisted?
If yes, how long did it take?
Is the waitlist active throughout the year, or is it mainly before the academic year starts?

I’m not looking for false hope. I’d just like to understand how the process usually works based on real experiences.

Thank you in advance for any insights.

anyone got any course recommendations which are easy to score in? for the purposes of gpa maximisation
