答你到實際做法係兩回事、所以只會主力睇最後公開試成績，因為校內試無從比較，除非是要從來自同一學校學生 ...

請問你是否清楚美國大學收生程序？一般未考lB公開試已出 unconditional offer, 當然大部分學生報美國都會考SAT或ACT，無論讀GCSE或MYP都一樣，還是有GCSE就不用考SAT或ACT？

Just want to provide some information about admission criteria of US top universities, as my son is now in year 13, and we have gone through all the process of UK/US/HK admissions.
We attended admission talks held on campus of around 10 US top universities during our US campus visit. The conclusion is that the most important admission criterion is the GPA of the last 4 years (high school) of secondary school, i.e. internal results given by the secondary schools. SAT/ACT are important, AP/IB scores are important. But one Ivy League clearly states that the most important info is the 4 years GPA.

We may wonder how the uni compares GPA around different schools. The admission officers view the applications by region. It means the uni admission officers are familiar with the schools in HK when viewing HK applications. SAT/ACT scores may be used to gauge the GPA of different schools (that's why US introduced SAT). Schools with students admitted to that university may have certain advantage (if those students perform well in the uni only). So all applicants who want to apply to US should work very hard starting year 10 (grade 9 of US schools), no matter which system. Don't focus only on SAT/ACT/AP/IB/IGCSE.

我當然知道，但unconditional.offer是based on甚麼，當然是有公信力的公開試而並非校內成績啦！ ...

At the time the offers are made, the students have not taken the public exams yet.

咁如果目標係想留番係香港讀U, 係咪考咗IGCSE 先有機會出conditional offer? 考完再等results 出, 對本地non-jupas 的同學仔會唔會冇噤著數𠺢？

補充少少：我意思係早一步有conditional offer ，好似安心過等埋IB results 出咗先再等大學去考慮收唔收你？個 system 係唔係咁𠺢？

For a student who studies MYP & IBDP, universities in HK will base on the "predicted scores" of IB DP provided by the school (and other factors such as personal statement, school reference...) to decide if they will give conditional offers to this student. The conditional offer will be achieving certain points in IB DP, plus a certain grade in any specified subject. My son is is in a MYP & IBDP school. I don't feel that they have disadvantages over IGCSE students.

Whether your child is applying for local or overseas universities, the process is essentially the same, the application is made before the public exams (DSE, IBDP, GCE A levels etc) are taken, and the universities make their conditional or unconditional offers based on the candidate's interview performance and assessments from the secondary schools, no one waits until after the exams results are out and then apply, that would be one year too late.

唔係只 focus 係美制，只是之前animalfarm 不同意美國大學收MYP學生會睇校內成績，大家提供多D這方面資料，特別是美國大學在學生未考試前已出unconditional offer

明白, 我意思如有意到美國升學 / 讀大學, 是否讀美制更直接, 即使用校內成績申請也比較有信服力? 有錯煩請指正.

You are right. I agree with you. But there are not many schools using US curriculum in HK, only HKIS, ICS and American International School? It's extremely difficult to get into top US uni or Ivy League in recent years, even for students studying in these schools.

美國大學收生用holistic approach, 除了看成績, 還要看學生整體發展，有無領導才能，是否敢於挑戰自己，所以會看由year 9 開始成績，是否每年有進步，admission officers 亦會探訪學校，所以不用等公開試成績已可出offer. 有家長講過如想入top US universities, 在美國讀中學機會會大過海外生.

So would you recommend AP schools (HKIS, ICS, AIS) over other schools if targeting US universities? Or we should consider other factors? Thanks for your sharing.
