RC vs VSA我自己覺得2間差唔多，大家有其他意見可參考嗎？

The RCHK discussions in EK are really interesting.(1)  The girl is indian.
(2)  My son is in Year 11 and his Math class is doing partly DP Math SL materials. If that is still considered easy, then I do not know what to say.
There seems to be quite some false information of RCHK here.
Some people seem to enjoy putting them up here.
And some other seem to enjoy reading them.

Requirement for IELTS may have changed. I was told this year HKU requires an IB student taking Eng A ...

This is totally strange.
Do you have more information of this student?
Which program did he apply to?
What was his English A HL score?
What did HKU ask for his IELTS?

請問RC家長，學校有無限制IB English 一定要考first language ？

RC does not offer English B. So everyone has to take English A, which is considered first language level curriculum.

The student applies for HKU Business.

It is really hard to say why that happened.
It is clearly stated in the official page that English A is a proof of English proficiency.
And indeed, most students do not need to submit IELTS results. You can probably confirm this with the university placement officer at your school.
I can only suspect that this is only a special case. Most HKU and CUHK offers are conditional offers. May be this student got his offer with the condition stating that he has to have a final grades of at least a 5 in English A, but in the end, the student got only a 4. And thus the student was asked to provide something extra to proof his english proficiency.
This is just my speculation.
