CKY, SMC 同 TSL 屬同類型嘅學校嗎?

alljodesign

知道3 間小學都以英語為主, 要額外學一科外語, 亦知 TSL 無一條龍, 不過仲有D 問題想問清楚:

1. 三間都係活動教學嗎?
2. 返學時間必修一種樂器?
3. 係咪都係唔洗考試排名次?
4. 三間學習氣氛會無咁大壓力?

MANY THANKS!!!

I am not selling IBDP, I struggled sometime before switched from local curricullum to IBDP. Both curricullum have pros and cons, if you read the posts I shared 18 months ago, you may know why I prefer IBDP >> HKDSE.

Personally, I support IBDP and authorised PYP and MYP, not IB approach schools.

With hindsight, our family made a right choice. My son is studying Yr1 IBDP this year and will take IBDP exam in 2013.

I searched many times in universities' websites and I can't find the exact figures. I got some figures by attending admission seminars of HKU, CUHK and HKUST.

CUHK and HKUST provided more figures in their seminars about IB, like admission grades, language requirements......

Also, I chatted with professors from HKU, CUHK, HKUST & HKPU. They shared the info with me...... You can treat that as heresays. I suggest you join the admission seminars, like CUHK, which will be held on coming Sat and Sunday. The link as follow:
http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/oday/

You can go to the HKUST website of scholarship
http://join.ust.hk/apply/non-local/fees-and-support/scholarships

It lists the scholarship details of IB, no GCEAL, no AD or HD.......... It means something to me.

For AD is another issue, I would like to know 10-20% top AD students admitted to popular or not so popular programs.

If you want to know more about IB vs NSS, you can goto BK High School sub-forum and you can see more info to this topic.

Mainland students are eligible to join Beijing and Tsing Hua, most likely will have a scholarship from local universities as local universities compete to take elites with BJ & TH. That's why I say so.

For international students, tuition fee around HK$110,000. If they are not elites, so they may not have full scholarship. That's may be the difference between our observations.

My reply as follow:

May I know what is EAS? (advanced standing?) [Early Admission Scheme 拔尖]

'Also in in non-JUPAS of MBBS, another 1/3 are graduates.'
Are graduates = degree holders?[Yes, correct]

Dear ANchan,

why do you think 'most local universities favour IB > GCE AL > HD > AD.... What I mean is good IB score..... 30+'. Are there any factual figures or is this saying coming from some prominent figures?

Frankly, I know IB is more popular than it was 5-10 years ago. At the moment, do you have any figures that universities places is occupied by IB gradautes? Please let us know so that parents of IB students can be more confident to go into this direction. thx.

Besides, there is a large number of places reserved for AD graduates. [I doubt it, AD students even less favourable than HD students. Most of them got in not so popular programs like engineering......]

Perhaps due to articulation of their AD program and the degree programme, universities usually need to reserve a significant portion of year 1 and year 2 places to their AD students. (There are easily over 100 students in one AD prog. and only the top 10-20% can go to univiersity). the more AD graduates university accept, the most sucessful the AD prgram and then more stduents......

Let's share my experience and observation. So far as I know, most graduate students are from Mainland china and they gain studentship/scholarship/...ship.
Professors like mainland students as they are perceived as more diligent and more productive and supposedly I do not discover there is limit on this.

But for undergraduate, most of them need to pay expensive tuition fee. Coz I work in university, I have chances to meet and chat with university students and professors, those mainlain students told me they need to pay around $80,000 per year. They withdraw offers from Peking U. and Tsing Wa and come here.

If you go to student canteen of HKU or CU, u will find there is significant proportion (~20-30%) are from mainland. To my estimation, I guess over 10-20% of total undergraduate are from mainland china. (though I don't have any offical figures)

Dear ANchan, thx for your info.

The data from U-beat is misleading, e.g. MBBS in both HKU & CUHK are 1/3-1/3-1/3; EAS - JUPAS - non-JUPAS. The reporter forget to deduct EAS from non-JUPAS. Eventually, for non-JUPAS around 50+.

Also in in non-JUPAS of MBBS, another 1/3 are graduates.

So far as i know and to my experience, what universities love most are the mainland students as they got to pay much higher tuition fee (around doubled, pls correct if it is wrong). [Most mainland students got scholarships, and they are very good academically, but not financially.]

Besides, there is a large number of places reserved for AD graduates. [I doubt it, AD students even less favourable than HD students. Most of them got in not so popular programs like engineering......]

Most local university favour IB > GCE AL > HD > AD.... What I mean is good IB score..... 30+

bbkingdombb

thank you very much and the info. is very useful for reference.

There are around 4000 year 1 students '包括英國高考、國際文憑課程(IB)、本港以外學制的學歷(e.g. mainland)、拔尖(~400)、校長推薦等方法申請入學'
So far as i know and to my experience, what universities love most are the mainland students as they got to pay much higher tuition fee (around doubled, pls correct if it is wrong). Besides, there is a large number of places reserved for AD graduates. Thus, GCE, IB.... constitute only a bit and hence do not have too much expectations.
