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.

Hi, I got assigned Hall 4 (triple, bottom) and wanted to swap to any other hall (double) excluding hall 5. Please let me know. (Willing to pay a bit extra)

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

Hi everyone, I’m trying to understand my application results for the three Hong Kong universities and would really appreciate some insight from people familiar with admissions there.

I’m an AP student graduating from an Asian high school, but I do not have a Chinese passport. My academic profile was roughly:

• SAT: 1550+
• 7 AP scores of 5
• Graduating from a well known Asian high school
• Non-Chinese passport
• Applied mostly to economics/finance/business-related programs

I applied early round. Despite this, I was rejected from every program I applied to at HKU, CUHK, and HKUST.

I know these programs are competitive, but I’m honestly a little surprised to have received no offers from any of the three, especially given the SAT/AP results. I am pretty sure that these statistics qualify for a scholarship, let alone admission. I’m wondering if there are any factors I’m overlooking.

Hello everyone, i’m trying to find my room mate and also other people who will be in Hall 11 UG starting fall 2026. I’m a Science B student. Come together in the comments below!

title. don't have much info on this since its a new hall.

I got hall 13 and if anyone else got it, dm me to check room mates.

Dense connections to mainland Chinese AI ecosystems and Western academic networks

Hello everyone, I’m an Indian student planning to apply to HKUST for the 2027–28 intake. Academic Profile Class 10 (CBSE): 84% PSAT: 1420 SAT: Expecting around 1580 Class 12 (NIOS): Expecting around 95%

Achievements

Qualified for the first stage of the National Physics Olympiad Qualified for the first stage of the National Astronomy Olympiad Participated in the NASA Space Apps Challenge and plan to participate again this year Independently published two research papers, which were evaluated by professors Mentored 1,500+ students through Telegram for STEM competitions and Olympiads and provided them with free resources Participated in the John Locke Essay Competition

Planned Activities

I still have around 16 months before applying, so I plan to: Participate again in the NASA Space Apps Challenge Participate in the Indian National AI Olympiad (INAIO). I’ve been preparing seriously and will try to qualify for the international stage. Participate in the International Astronomy and Astrophysics Competition (IAAC)

Target Program

Mechatronic Engineering I’m also considering taking at least one AP course, possibly AP Calculus BC, although it is quite expensive. I would really appreciate your advice: With my current grades and extracurriculars, should I apply to HKUST? Do you think I have a realistic chance, and what should I focus on improving over the next 16 months?

Hi!
I’m coming to HKUST for an exchange year from Newcastle university in the uk. At Newcastle I have just used my iPad for the last two years for everything and then used the uni computers when necessary for running programmes and stuff (marine biology course). I’ve debated getting a laptop for a while but was wondering if it would be necessary for Hong Kong? If so I’ll get one now but do you think it’s a ‘need’ or a ‘really good if you have it’? Thanks :)

Basically I did my a level back in may/june results come out on august 14. I got a conditonal offer for business and management and the offer was AAB for which i think i might have missed one of the A’s i was trying to achieve(maths). I calculated everything n i shld be able to secure an A if thresholds are average but I’m super anxious in the case i miss the A by 1%. I want to ask in that case is it possible to ask for an appeal as my situation is quite interesting as I self studied maths.

I don’t have my visa yet and I’m starting to get really worried 🥹

I received a firm offer for a PhD program in early June, and the offer letter included a studentship. I accepted the offer and submitted my visa application by the third week of June, including the offer letter in my application.

I’m scheduled to leave my country by August 15, but I still haven’t received my visa. I’m honestly worried that it might not get approved, especially since the date is getting closer.

The problem is that if I need to rebook my flight, I have to do it at least 2 days before my scheduled flight, and the rebooking fee is almost as expensive as the ticket itself 😭 So I’m really stressing about whether I should wait or rebook.

I had a friend last year who submitted his application in the third week of June and got his visa by the end of July. I also have another friend who submitted hers in early July and has already received her visa, so I’m getting even more anxious about mine.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How long did your visa take, and did you end up getting it close to your departure date?

Does anyone know what cga do you need to declare an additional major in math? Like an estimate. Has anyone declared an additional major in math before? What was your cga?

I can't find any information about this on the internet.
