Right, it's a new phenomenon in HK. Some families are affected but difficult to ask for help, it's new for everyone. Base on your provided info, some quick comments as follow:
We are facing the same struggle choosing between NSS and IB; my son and I quite like the idea of IB (he wishes to study aboard).
But we want my son to study law in university (Your choice or his choice?).
We have talked to some friends and their suggestion is if my son wants to be a doctor or solicitor he should study in the local university, and also we found no information about the admission grade required for IB student in local university web sites (Most universities only state the min entrance requirements and not the accepted grades. In JUPAS, you can get some results from either UGC or HKEAA info by university and by programs in 25%, 50%, 75% percentile. You can send a email to the admission office, they may provide some info for previous years. Of course, they will say it will chnage every year.)
From the web sites of HKEAA I found that U of Cambridge would consider applicant with 5*5*5 in three HKDSE, U of Oxford average 555 in 3 elective subjects. (Pls check again in Oxford and Cambridge at the international student sections, you may find their requirements in IB. If you aim LLB for this two universities, IB is a good choice.)
But because NSS is so new we are unable to predict my son grades. (Normally, predicted by the principal or the teacher, not you.)
Also if we take the IB we are unable to predict the grades as well since it is new in my son school too. (Not true, because IB also count CA and you boy's examination papers and CA also reviewed externally. So after each examination, my son's school will provide the predicted grades for our reference and details are also listed in ManageBag/web base platform.)
So we are facing a challenge of making decision without objective facts for our reference (Eventually it's alot from overseas and we need to knock doors......... Most admission officers are helpful.) Just so glad I found this thread that we can share our views. (Let's share and discuss here.)
Pls check this website, which is very popular in UK, you can find some very useful info in it. Also IB requirements for most programs and different univerities are listed. I did search the medicine and economics programs, very detail and comprehensive.
