果日問一個朋友, 佢都係咁話.
用外籍學生既額, 收外籍學生學費, 但絕對平過送出國.

It's a good tips, only HK$50-60K per year difference.

以後學生還是可以用GCE成績報香港的大學。

記得當年同一年考HKAL和GCEAL, GCE每科成績都高HKAL 3個grade. 但當年GCE成績在香港升學無甚幫助。

Hi ANChan,
do you remember who was the speaker for this talk? I did visit the campus but didn't attend the admission talk. When I called the Medical Faculty yesterday, they replied no more EAS... but ...

10A* is the historical admitted requirement, I think there is one more year for EAS as for the last batch of HKCEE students. Then no more EAS is correct once no more HKCEE.

The admission talk hosted by Deputy Dean, Prof Tam Shiu Cheung, it was shown in the slides and also the admission literature of Medicine faculty.

For leisure, maybe. For exam, 何苦。My approach to exams is totally Holmesian. I would only bother to do whatever it needs to read the major I want, and no more. Of course, if I had wanted to read m ...

你的說法和我公司的一高層一樣。我和他提起阿大考10科，佢都話做咩咁蠢，過到骨就算啦。但我另有體驗，我有讀文學和文学史，那一两年之課程，加上我無聊時揭吓書，所學知識足供我吹吓水，無害。

又回到我那斤斤計較之本性上，花同樣錢和時間，為何不学多點呢？

uncle,

阿大剛好相反，佢好多科都想讀。有時間的話，佢仲想讀音樂、中國文學、英國文學。

For leisure, maybe. For exam, 何苦。My approach to exams is totally Holmesian. I would only bother to do whatever it needs to read the major I want, and no more. Of course, if I had wanted to read medicine, I would probably have conditioned myself to take 10 IGCSEs or 7 or 8 HKCEEs. Otherwise, why bother with pursuit of over 10A*s in IGCSE or 10 As or 5*s in HKCEE, except for vanity?

The problem is, however, how to select the subjects you do not hate so much to make up 10 subjects.

怪不得有些女人愛上一個無用的男人歷時兩年，依然說：「好浪漫呀！」

越唔實用嘅越浪漫。

况且，就算所学無用，花ニ年時間努力学無用的東西，其行為是何等浪漫，過程是達得回味的。

this happened in in my days, many years ago already.

I think he is referring to 10 A* from IGCSE. I think its is still a less stringent requirement than 7 or 8A from HKCEE.

uncle,

我知。要外出，有空再聊過。

聽說，醫学院EAS收生：港大，要求8A。中大，7A。

講到咁，唔夠你講。

According to Medical Faculty, EAS also opened for non-JUPAS students, the min requirement is 10A* in IGCSE. The interesting point is their admission through non-JUPAS route.

你講得無錯。

正如先前我說過，大学收生，是收最top某個%的人材。所以，只要大学肯收，入到大学，就算不讀AL，只要努力一點，一定能收復失地的。正如中五理科生，入到恒商，一樣可奪好多A。

不過，作為一個斤斤計較的消費者，花同樣银碼学費，同樣ニ年時間，冇理由唔盡情学多啲嘢。况且，就算所学無用，花ニ年時間努力学無用的東西，其行為是何等浪漫，過程是達得回味的。

另一方面，完成中七課程，到歐美四年制大学，大可從二年班升起，冇話浪費時間。

AL 是一好充實嘅課程，認真完成其課程，將為人生打下堅實基礎。

That is exactly the argument the teachers use to persuade thier students to follow the HKAL. Honestly, I don't see the logic as most elite students at universities in the US and UK do not have the privilege of such difficult exam to prepare them for university but they still manage to do well. The EAS students in HK do not have the privilege either. Actually, the EAS system is based on the findings of some research that the results of HKCEE are more indicative of one's performance at university. At university, you don't really have the luxury of spending two years on a narrow scope of a single subject. Like my elder daughter, she did not even manage to get a copy of the textbook before the final exam of a subject in her first university term. For HKAL, the students have the luxury of going over the past exam papers again and again. The skills required are quite different.

It is nice to be confident, but it is still somewhat depressing to see mates with 26 or 27 points in HKCEE only managed to get into courses for Asso in the end while mates with less points in HKCEE went on to schools like UCL, LSE or even Cambridge. That is how my elder daughter feels.

Yes, it needs some luck to get an A in HK's public exams in most cases. The difference between A an B is sometimes so slim that it does not reflect one's capbability.

Do you remember I mentioned a girl who failed to go up from F6 to F7 but got into a hot major through the IGCSE route. She came from this school as well. The school is different from most tradition ...

uncle,

當然記得啦，我仲話有錢無勢嘅都係出國算啦。我停留在很久很久以前，以為讀不好書的才去考這些試，看來我是太孤寡了。

我認為，大学收生，與其說按成績收，不如說是收前某個%之人材。以GCE成績取祿"國際校"生，我理解到，但收本地生，老實講，我都係唔明。GCE 比 AL 淺，加上中A比率接近20%，我認為本地C級学生，GCE奪A是十拿九穩的。反而，本地学生，幾醒都好，奪A真係要點運氣。報上說有皇仁仔國际數学比賽奪獎，會考附加數得B。我侄仔自誇其化学在校內前無古人，可惜两試都係B。

不過，點都好，阿大都會走末代考生這條蠢路。

1. AL 是一好充實嘅課程，認真完成其課程，將為人生打下堅實基礎。一旦打算考GCE，自然分心，斗志也會消減。
2. 我對统計數字天生敏感，參考阿大中五成績，中七考AL問題不大。何况現時阿大感興趣的，只是些冷門課程。
