The top program's in HK, the PG are similar to the top notch universities in other countries.

kym

Mr. Chan, do you know the PG of the student who got the offer from LSE to do law?

My son talked to the boy and his conditional offer is 39/45. His PG is 38.

ANChan59

Ask Leo Zen

kym

Just my guessing, that why I want to know what he really get for PG.

ANChan59

I don't think PG 40+ is realistic. The offer included bonus point so PG without bonus point 38 is reasonable, as the final grades around 40+ included bonus make more sense to me.

May be other parents can share their experience.

kym

I think 38 with 766 for HLs is the standard offer, but I think one should at least get PG 40+ to be able to get a conditional offer.

I didn't confirm with my son, but my gut feeling is 38 actual score....

Not 100% sure but most likely 38 with 766 for HLs.
