I just got my offer from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and I’m pretty sure I can 100% meet the requirements. Now I’m confused about whether I should just accept the offer and go there, or wait for responses from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong Baptist University, and City University of Hong Kong. I applied to PolyU around March 30 and the other universities in April, so I’m wondering if I should wait for their conditional offers. I’m honestly scared that I might not get any offers from the Hong Kong universities. At the same time, I also want to know how CUHKSZ is as a university — like, is it considered good in China, does it lead to good-paying jobs, and what are the campus life and student experience like? Should I just pay the deposit for CUHKSZ and secure my spot, or take the risk and wait for the other universities? I just finished my AP exams, and I think I can meet the requirements for the Hong Kong universities too, but I’m still worried because what if I get rejected from all of them? I honestly don’t know if I should wait or just commit to CUHKSZ now.

i've already paid the deposit and submitted all of the required documents, just wondering where you guys are from and what schools you chose to attend

Targeting full scholarships

Is it possible to get more scholarship after the first year? For example if I will maintain specific GPA, or are there any external scholarships that could be assessed that could help financially? Could really use y’all’s help 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hi I’m an incoming student for the next academic year and I was wondering if moving off campus was possible? I’ve seen some mixed results and I’m not sure of the official answer. Thank you!!!!

Does anyone know? On the cuhk SZ website it says that “starting from 2027, the entry fee will increase to 162,000 CNY per year.” Does this mean that this will happen for those entering in 2027, or that starting in 2027, it will cost that much for those who study there too?

My friend got a email from cuhk sz about a google form regarding scholarship where you have to fill out the form and maybe they reconsider you to get a scholarship. However my friend missed the deadline because email was not checked, any way to appeal or what to do?
