Oxbridge 的 application 是計算在 UCAS 內的5 間其中一間嗎?

Yes

如香港只用作back up, 無須fast track 階段報, accept offer 要交$10000留位費，唔讀無得退
...

阿仔返咗嚟已經填好哂HKU 同UST non JUPAS online form. 等埋學校俾predicted grades 同reference (應該係跟UCAS) 就可以submit, 但我有兩個問題 :

1. 個personal statement 緊唔緊要？因為阿仔響英國報materials science 但香港無呢科，佢會報engineering. 佢又想慳皮用UCAS 個PS 改少少就算，都通嘅，但當然無UCAS 個version 咁好。所以想知香港啲Unis 有幾重視PS?

2. 之前提過，其實阿仔strongly prefer 留英國讀大學，香港unis 只係for back up. 所以我cheap cheap 地盡量唔想俾嗰一萬蚊留位費，until confirm 阿仔英國啲offers 唔夠buffer 先俾。咁我應該幾時submit?assume UCAS 嗰邊一月尾前有哂results?

thanks a lot for the advice.
Just got a reminder email from HKU about their main round closing on Nov 16!! Should we catch up with this deadline or a later one? I will go to their open day on my son’s behalf (he will be back to UK) on Nov 4 to find out more.

There were fast track and main round applications before.  It seems there is o ...

thank u for all your info and advice slamai and poonseelai!!

Ya I think my son will apply by deadlines for main round both for HKU and UST.

Regarding the PS, it is a bit “tricky” as he applies for Materials Science in UK but Civil Eng in HK, as his PS is tailored for MatSci, it seems not that strong by just tweaking it for CivEng. But anyway, it is up to him and nothing I can help. Also he is now very busy preparing for UK unis’ entrance test and interviews (now 4 out of 5 require him to do interview/open day!), I don’t want to add on unnecessary burden on him.

My son is studying in HK. He applied UCAS & HKUST IRE program. Does anyone know the interview period ...

All the UK schools and unis will be closed during Xmas holidays.

I think international students are either exempted for interviews or can do Skype interviews. Even for Oxbridge, some colleges would let international students choose Skype or face to face interviews.

My son also submitted UCAS + NON-JUPAS application.
When will recieve offer from UK University?

阿仔剛收都第一個CO, 係唯一唔洗interview 嗰間。

恭喜晒，真叻仔！是那一間呢？方便講CO要求是怎樣嗎？

可以呀。 係Birmingham, 要求AAA, 朋友話係Russell group 嘅typical offer, 阿仔話Manchester 同Sheffield 應該一樣，反而Oxford 同Imperial typical offer 係A*AA, 唔係難好多。而且阿仔Math 其實已經攞咗個A*, 咁即係淨返要achieve兩個AA for Phy 同 Chem......咁咪即係Oxford & Imperial 同其他三間嘅難度無分別 (當然係有CO 咁計啦）？

好叻呀！Oxford已經面試咗？

唔係呀，十劃未有半撇！ 下星期四先考OXFORD 個physics aptitude test 咋，A*AA 係typical offer, 所以我話"如果有CO 嘅話".

imperial 就十一月有得interview.

有事想請教各位。我仔已提交 2018 UCAS, 但幾日之前收到 IELTS result, 成績明顯比 GCSE 考得好，請問可否 ...

IELTS 係用嚟qualify 英文程度響英國讀大學，只要過咗大學嘅entry requirement 就得，高過應該無加分，唔會令你有offer 嘅機會高咗。
再簡單啲講，大學比offer 時可以without IELTS results, 到有offer 時IELTS requirements 係condition 之一，所以你唔洗心急而家交IELTS result.

估是，佢果次成班同學在英國買套新西裝去面弑，要1000元

阿仔尋晚去咗倫敦，痴同學去人哋家姐屋企sleep over, 今日去ICL interview. 咁啱佢學校science department 星期二晚俾mock interviews 佢哋，應該有啲幫助。然後下星期in Manchester.
尋晚又收到Sheffield 嘅follow up email, 都係想佢過去open day 同面對面interview, instead of Skype. 俾埋accommodation 同£50 transportation allowance. 本來路程太遠，又唔係心水選擇，所以諗住skype interview 算，而家唔好意思推(已經推過一次），阿仔可能月尾又要in 多間。
我有叫阿仔著件西裝褸去in,佢死話唔好，話人哋講明wear something makes you comfortable 喎。

請教各位，我囝讀緊Y11, 咁應該幾時要報考IELTS, 和在這裡睇到，如報英國大學，是一定要考這個試，是嗎？ ...

yes, 要考。我個仔就year 12 暑假先考，因為成績有有效期。好似係fulfill conditional offer 嘅兩年內。
而year 12 暑假考一嚟唔洗inrerrupt 佢繁忙嘅year 12 學校生活同考試，但又可以預留足夠時間再考(in case 考得唔夠好).

有D唔明，如果佢地係英國讀中學，點解報大學時重要考IELTS？

因為gcse 無考oral 同listening.
不過咁，阿仔報oxford near miss 佢ielts writing 個requirement, 打去問話如果佢大學前響英國已經讀咗4 年咁就可以有exemption. 但好似唔係間間大學得，所以都係考定先好。
