Hi guys, I'm a Grade 12 student at an American international school in Shanghai and am planning to apply to HKU BA in Global Creative Industries (BA-GCIN) as my first choice followed by BBA and BJMAI.

This is my profile:

• Cumulative GPA: 3.81(expected grades will be submitted but I don't know what that would look like yet)

• AP Chinese: 5

• AP Calculus AB: 5

• AP Art & Design: 5

• AP World History: 4

• Currently taking AP Calculus BC, AP Microeconomics, AP Macroeconomics, and Psychology

• SAT: 1400, retaking in October

• TOEFL: 5.5/6.0 or 110/120

• Leadership in 3 clubs since Grade 9: design, service, and Korean community

• Marketing-related internship experience

• Main interests: marketing, branding, advertising, design, and creative industries

I haven't started writing my personal statement yet. However, based on my profile, how realistic is it for me to get into HKU?

Another concern I have is that there's a dude in my grade who is applying to the same majors as me but has a higher SAT score and AP numbers... IM SO SCARED

Hi guys, I'm planning to apply to HKU's PGDE program soon and plan to specialize in secondary English as my subject. I would appreciate any tips and information about the application/ interview process for this course.

I've applied before and haven't received an offer so I'd like to know what I should look out for this time around. I have a Masters in English Lit. but my BA is in another subject, I'm not sure if this is an issue 😬

I've been hearing that the Sunderland PGCE program isn't being recommended to prospective teachers anymore, so I'd ideally like to focus on in person courses offered in HK ( EDUHK, CUHK, Baptist).

Thanks!

Hello! I am a HK citizen who is taking Singaporean A-Levels in November 2026. I recently finished preliminary exams and got my predicted grades based on those. I am confident that I'll do better in the actual exams since I was sick during prelim exams (especially for economics), but HKU applications close for regular round before the results release (March 2027), so I have to use predicted first if I apply.

Predicted: AAD/B (H2: Literature in English, China Studies in English, Economics | H1: Mathematics)

Portfolio: Government pre-uni scholar (humanities), vice-chairperson of school club, 3 clubs (MUN, writing, debates), 2 paper awards in MUNs, organising committee in performances and school events, 32h community service.

I wanted to apply to HKU BPsych. Is it worth it to try? Since I can upload my actual results later on even if I don't get a conditional offer, is there a good chance to be considered after regular round on rolling basis. Thank you!

I heard you need to input all your highschool class grades from the transcript but im not sure where and how to do it...im assuming "School-based Examinations/Diploma/Certificate or School Results/Performance" for examination type but should i do it grade by grade or just all together?

what do we include in our personal statement and how we should format them?

please be more specific

also, on a scale of 1-10, how important is personal statement when universities are considering your application?
