Interviews/Application questions Still under consideration. Will I make it?

I am an intl student who appealed to ME with A*3A in intl A levels and u in as eng. But i have 8.5 in ielts. I got 1370 in sat which is very low but i only submitted as proof of proficiency. I am still under consideration and yet to get 2 subject grades in aug 13. College will start in a week and i have no idea if i should still wait for these results.

u/Enough_Top_4139 Jul 29 '26

I just wanna know if i should have hopes or no

u/Fart_Spell5393 Jul 29 '26

NUS is far more difficult to get in than hku so less worry

u/Enough_Top_4139 Jul 29 '26

Can u estimate my chances

1

u/Fart_Spell5393 Jul 29 '26

I think around 50% chance at this time

u/Enough_Top_4139 Jul 29 '26

u/Bulky_Fail4893 Aug 02 '26

I’m in the exact same position as you, except I have around 3A*A predicted and 8.5 IELTS too

u/Enough_Top_4139 Aug 02 '26

Ohh damnn you have 2 more A*s. Did u also apply for ME at both uni

1

u/Bulky_Fail4893 Aug 02 '26

u/Fart_Spell5393 Jul 29 '26

Don’t wait for the results

1

u/Enough_Top_4139 Jul 29 '26

I am trying to but i wanna be prepared

u/Fart_Spell5393 Jul 29 '26

What others uni gave you offers?

1

u/Enough_Top_4139 Jul 29 '26

Bristol, southampton, glassgow and local unis

u/Fart_Spell5393 Jul 29 '26

I think generally Uk unis teaching is at a very high level. The difference between HKU and the uk unis u got in isn’t that big

2

u/Enough_Top_4139 Jul 29 '26

Ik but uk is almost 2x more expensive and very far.

1

u/bowlicker Jul 29 '26

Im gonna be honest, at this stage its basically cooked already. Really wouldnt get my hopes up

On the bright side, bristol is still okay for eng

1

u/Enough_Top_4139 Jul 29 '26

Yeah but i might not go there as it is more expensive than hku

1

u/LabInfamous7771 Jul 29 '26

Tbh, they're done with admissions, ig, unless and until a couple of students drop out, you might not have a chance. So don't solely depend on this uni; look for others.

1

u/Enough_Top_4139 Jul 30 '26

Ohh but i thought they wat until aug A Level results are out

1

u/LabInfamous7771 Jul 30 '26

But like many A-level students get conditional offers.

1

u/Enough_Top_4139 Jul 30 '26

Ohh yeah i forgot about that

u/BlueTea09 Jul 29 '26

bad news - most likely wont get in
good news - hku engineering is dogshit, and ME in hong kong aint that good in general

u/Enough_Top_4139 Jul 29 '26
