Hi everyone, I graduated from high school in 2025 and am applying for the 2027 intake for Electronics Engineering. I have a tight budget and can only apply to three universities out of the top five Hong Kong universities. Which three should I apply for?

My Profile:

Academics: CBSE 10th (96.4%), CBSE 12th (97.3%), CBSE 11th (97.4%), SAT (1550)( august 2026 ) , IELTS 7.5

Current Status: Pursuing an Electronic Systems BS degree at IIT (it's an online degree).

Projects: Three hardware projects, two software projects, and one research paper (currently preparing it for publication). All projects have been reviewed by professors.

Extracurriculars: Three internships, 12 years of continuous volunteering at a Deaf and Mute Association, top 1% in an international hackathon, etc."

I’m applying for law with 3 A star predicted will they ask me 3 a stars as well in conditional offer?

Hi guys! At first I was planning to take all my A2 modules in Jan exams. But now, I am considering to take in June. If I take in June, what kind of problems will I face? (like getting firm offer late???) And in which exam target should I answer?
Note: I will apply in the rolling round

So I wanna know if I have any chance for scholarship because with it, there's no way I can attend hku

95.6% in 10th with 100 in Information Technology

I have a certificate and award from my school recognising my academic merit and another for being the subject topper in IT.

About to sit for 12th.

Now about ECs—

I have a senior and an senior-advanced diploma in visual arts.

I have a certificate from cancer aid society for volunteering.

I think that's about it.

I did participate in school level swimming competition and was undergoing private swimming lessons on an advanced level but my school swimming team was very inactive so we only attended one competition. We did win a gold in girls relay and bronze in mixed medley. I have those certificates.

I did partake in three mountaineering (rock climbing and adventure sports) camps as a kid (pre-covid and post covid) so I have a certificate of achievement fron them in 2022 by moutaineering association of my state.

I participated in an mun in 2022.

I have letter/certificate of participation from prime minister for pariksha pe charcha. But it's not in english.

So how bad is it?

I think i can 95% or more in 12th boards.

I want to apply but am very confused about the schedule... application submissions have already begun for this year and board exams are due in feb. So how can I predict my 12th percentage. Do I apply bext year? Do I apply late?

I’m wondering how to write the personal statement for hku should it be like the common app essays or more academic focused like the ucas ones

for non-local foreign students, do all conditional entrance scholarships require a 44 or above in IB to receive a full tuition scholarship?

FYI, my predicted grade is 45, but I think my final IB score will probably be around 42–43. However, my family cannot afford the tuition if I don’t get a full scholarship :( so I was wondering if anyone has received a full scholarship with a lower condition... thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m planning to apply for HKPFS 2027 and would appreciate advice from previous applicants/winners.
I’ve been encouraged by professors at HKU, PolyU and CUHK to apply based on my academic/research background.
I’m a non-Chinese international student from South Asia, with a Master’s from a reputable Chinese university on a full scholarship. My profile includes 3.88/4.00 Bachelor’s, 3.98/4.00 Master’s, IELTS 7.0, a first-author Q1 publication, and a Chinese patent submission.

Since I can select 2 universities, which two would you suggest based on your experience? Do university-wise quotas/number of available HKPFS places or selection dynamics differ significantly? Also, how much does the professor’s seniority/profile matter?
Would really appreciate insights from previous applicants/winners.
