I happen to be in Hong Kong for travel, I’ve waited for a review on my appeal for over 2 months, should i go and physically ask for it

Title!

Website says 19 Aug onwards but I haven’t received a thing😭

I'm sure there still are some people out there, desperately waiting for their admission results for this August undergraduate intake regardless of their admission status like 'on waitlist', STILL 'under consideration' or 'appeal under review', and so on. Let's shout out loud together to let them know WE DESERVE BETTER THAN this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey there,

I was trying to enroll into courses yesterday, and did well except only 1 course Math1013

I wrote an email to department of cs and faculty of eng, sxplaining that exemption, fyi I have IB with 6 and SAT 800.

So It has been 1 day (sorry for my impatience), when they will approximately reply? I fear that class I tpok will be full and I need to choose other one that wont match my schedule.

If there any way to reach out to them🙏🏻

Hi, just wanted to know whether there are still people out there waiting desperately for hku undergraduate admission 2026 August intake whatever status you're on right now like 'waitlist', 'still under consideration', or 'appeal for review', etc. Are we still having a hope or it's now 100% "game over"? Please share your agonizing experience if you're in the same boat.

title. i am getting quite frustrated as they don't answer calls even during the hours they stated on their website. their live chat does not rlly help either and not only do they take very long to reply to emails its always the most generic response ever. sorry for ranting

Hello,

I'm an international student (asia) interested in HKU/HKUST/Hong Kong in general for undergraduate studies in neuroscience.

I'm currently in a situation where i have to decide between:

1. Hong kong University / HKUST with fin aid or

2. Lower tier US College with fin aid but more costly than hong kong.

I wanted to compare experiences in Hong Kong with US colleges to see which option was better.

If anyone could type out the school atmosphere, routine, work-life balance, campus life, etc in hong kong, I would greatly apprecitate it - thank you!

I got 3C in puremaths,physics,egp and 2D in further maths and chemistry in my alevels and i am a local i wanna study Bsc physics or Bsc maths (im not sure buy probably physics) . Should i go for hku space or should i go to just any uni that accepts my grades ??? Pls help

Hi all! I'm an incoming first year non-local undergrad and I'm wondering about how the application process for exemption from the English enhancement course works (both my ielts and igcse englang grade meets the requirements)

ppl I've asked from other faculties say they've received an email from their faculty with a form to fill out to apply for the exemption but I haven't received such an email (my home faculty is the faculty of arts). I didn't apply with IB either so I don't think the exemption would be granted to me automatically

Course selection opens in two hours. What should I do? should I email my faculty or wait, and should I add caes1001 in my course selection first then drop it during the add/drop period?

unrelated question but also does anyone know if it's possible to make it from Centennial Campus CPD-LG.08 to Centennial Campus CPD-LG.01 within 10 mins (what do those numbers mean?) bc if not I'm gonna have to rearrange my entire year1 timetable

thx!

so i have applied for elite engineering as first choice back in november and i have been waitlisted around four months ago and im still waitlisted. tbh im so worried because i really wanna go to HKU but i need a decision really soon as my backup uni starts classes really soon. is there a chance for me to get in anyway? i heard they’re pretty harsh on AP students plus they didn’t even invite me for an interview or an aptitude test. pls tell me ur thoughts 😓😓 (non local btw)

Hey guys I have 97.4 in my class 12 joined in a shit clg in India and looking to apply for 27 intake.my ecs are not so good tbh is it possible for me to get a 100 percent scholarship and how is it there for indians

Guys I need your help!!!

I got late offer two days ago from HKU. But I have already accepted HKUST and got visa sponsored by them. Since HKU is my dream school I want to accept their offer.

Is there anyone who faced the same problem like me??

If so, what did you do after accepting the offer, and how did you handle the visa problem? (Like changing the educational institution maybe..??)

Is it able to get visa faster cuz I've already booked my plane.!!

GUYS..Plzzzz share your idea...

I’m applying for Master’s programmes in HK for Sept 2027 and I’m currently in my 7th semester of a B.Tech in India.

My university provides semester-wise DMCs/Result-cum-Grade Cards showing courses, credits, grades, SGPA and CGPA, but I’m not sure whether I need a separate consolidated transcript.

Also, my university’s Bonafide Certificate confirms that I’m currently enrolled and serves as proof of expected graduation/completion.

For anyone who has recently applied to HKU, CityU, PolyU, HKBU or HKMU:

Were semester-wise DMCs accepted for the initial application, or was a consolidated transcript required?

Was a Bonafide/expected-graduation certificate accepted while still completing the bachelor’s?

Could you submit the final transcript/degree certificate after graduation?

Would really appreciate firsthand experience, especially from applicants who applied while still in their final year.

My IAL grades are A*AA in Chemistry, Biology, Physics respectively. My CV is focused on Environmental studies. But I want to increase my chances of getting into HKU. Will applying to Social Sciences (major in geography) give me a higher chance of getting in than BSc (major in env.sciences)?

I have got 3 A* and 1 A, with no conditional offers received. I am appealing my grade for Chemistry, hoping to get 4 A stars, but am worried that the appealed, new grade will be sent through after the admission closes. What should I do? Should I upload the transcript to the website, and add a note beneath the document saying that my result is still pending?

Received offer on 13th August, even if i accept the offer how would I start on 1st Sep??

Good evening everyone I am an Indian student probably going to apply at hong kong .

My questions

1 . Calculate my percentage acc to hong kong rules

2 . Admission chances in LLB

3 . How much scholarship based ony profile .

I got offers from HKU and The University of Edinburgh for studying Chemistry, but I don’t know which one to choose. HKU is a lot closer to where I live, it’ll be cheaper, and it has a higher rank than UoE. However, I do look forward to the new experiences in UoE as it means I get to become more independent and grow more as a person. I wonder if both unis have the same level of prestige, and what it’ll mean for my future career. So anyone who has similar experiences or are currently studying chemistry in my respective unis, PLEASE let me know 😭 I need to make this decision within today…

also, if I decide on UoE, I can choose between year 1 and 2. So wondering if anyone has any suggestions too thanks!
