You said: "所以個個選去外國, 這是無奈"... Why?  You mean most parents pre ...

去外國讀書費用, 今非昔比

不少情況是如此

有5個選擇

1-2個報香港的大學

3-4個報外國的大學

三十幾分

一線的大學的一線科, 未必收

最後被拒offer

讀醫科好多, 只是SIS, 我已經知10個家長幫小朋友遞本地醫科

小朋友告訴我, 他知道的, 則有15位同學

但西島中學的經驗告訴我, 全軍覆沒, 十位學生遞, 一位都沒有入到

之後3-4個CHOICE 都是英國醫科, 好多都有英國醫科學位收

其他商科, 一樣, 香港要33-36, 分, 面試要出色, 才可以33分, 否則仍要35-36分

LAW, 香港要39分, 英國最低31,32分已經有得讀, 好少少34,35,  39-40 已經是一線大學LAW SCHOOL成績

以我所知

不少父母的心態

點都要放1-2個香港的科在

3個任下一代自己選

如果香港收的話, 就考慮香港讀(考慮, 不一定)

如果香港不收, 一定要過外國, 節衣縮食都要

偏偏香港收生就是嚴得很

最後7成幾要過外國


父母當然首選外國

但如果突然香港有OFFER, 不少家長會心郁

小朋友也心郁, 因為香港有自己的生活

無奈的是, 考到36-40分數的人, 始終不算很多

最後決定, 父母始終想在外國

香港搵食難, 到本地畢業時, 怕競爭力不夠

The average score this year is higher than before, so competition into U will be higher too...

My kid's friends mostly will go to UK, USA or Canada as well...

I feel that HK's situation is worsen than before, so go overseas for good maybe a better alternative for our kids...

父母負擔得起, 應該考慮去外國

且要叫小朋友, 畢業後

最好在當地做幾年(如果有CITIZENSHIP最好, 沒有的話, 畢業後外國找工很難很難, 幾乎0)

沒有外國工作經驗回港, 搵工亦要三頭六臂

勞動市場一年差過一年

這也是, 這麼多父母, 迫又好, 勸又好

要他們小朋友讀專科

內心深處, 知道未來搵食難

專業人士較安全

起碼讀國際學校, 英文OK, 將來可以讀個教育文憑教英文

不會有事, 本地教育制度, 又讀不到大學, 則頭痛

Not only that, some parents are prepared to pack up and relocate the entire family when their kids are ready for overseas education. They emigrated during the 90's and then relocated back to Hongkong after obtaining foreign citizenship, and are prepared to "re-relocate" if they foresee Hongkong continuing on it's downhill slide.

It's sad, but so true!!!

I have similar feeling too.

SIS KGB and STC did very well this year and track records are impressive.

Annie123,

原来竞争如此慘烈, 或许我都要紧张D, 但阿女已经唔听我支笛, 紧张都应该无用.  

今天的孩子拥有perfect scores 的越来越多, 大學是加倍重视personal statement 了.  除了分数, 在推荐自己时, 有額外才能, 才可占优势.  今年Harvard 收了四个香港孩子.  

one Island School Head boy   with     perfect IB score : 45
one LPC boy who set up a charity organisation  with IB score : 40
one DBS boy with tennis scholarship  (I guess Anchan should know who is he)
another one I don't know.  

四个孩子是各有所长吧!

朋友的孩子一心行医, 进不了港大, 转回Netherlands 读, 他们的医科水平很高, 是易入难出, 未来倒要 醒定D. 希望家长们依然鼓励孩子发梦.  十八岁未能顺利考进医学院, 可以先念好第一个degree, 个人思维更成熟后再决定投考.

The personal statement (for UK colleges) is your opportunity to tell universities and colleges about your suitability for the course(s) that you hope to study. You need to demonstrate your enthusiasm and commitment, and above all, ensure that you stand out from the crowd.
The personal statement can be different to application essays or personal statements from other countries (e.g. USA),

agree with you, I also encourage my kids to go overseas to see the world, in other countries, people always move to different jobs in different places, trying different ways of life... I have lived in Europe and Canada for some time before as well, the experience was valuable for life.  HK is a good place, but stucking here for too long will limit one's horizon.

Annie123,

谢谢分享! 我想高分数只能反映一个人的某方面水平, 40 分入到哈佛的孩子,必有其它不凡实力, 明显是才干大于分数的例子,

我是很推崇外國的大學，那种易入難出的制度.  试想一个单纯梦想行医的孩子(不是要名誉金钱),不怕每天看烂肉, 看伤病, 看残缺的病患,  因为不是天生的writing materials, IB 已难取高分了, 被医学院拒收, 最后是社会失掉一个好医生. 那管是 45 分, 或 38分, 读医科的还是要靠未来七八年的努力和坚持. 如果不合适, 医学院可以在第一二年通过严格考验,把一半学生送走,

天大地大, 希望孩子能往外看多点, 想多点, 才为前途决择.

Agree, our kids lack of exposure is a big problem.

我都唔想阿仔浪費醫學院的位置，如果唔適合，找其他專業也是好事。
小朋友在不同階段有不同喜好，因應能力及同學朋友映響之下，都有好大變化。

The competition for a non-JUPAS place in local Us shouldn't be that bad this year as we have the double cohorts of HKALE and HKDSE which also doubles the non-JUPAS places (at least theoretically).  The situation from next year onwards will be quite bad given that there are more IB schools sending their first DP cohorts to the May exam ...

Nevertheless, sending the kids overseas may not be as desirable as before 1997, especially for professional degrees, since there are now hurdles for overseas graduates to get recognised to practise in Hong Kong.

When everything comes to normal next year, the total spots would come to about 18,000. 20% of the spots will go to the Non-Jupas applicants. Amongst them, about half of them will go to Mainland and international applicants.

If you take DSE, about 24,000 qualified applicants (out of 80,000) compete for 14,400 spots. The spots for the Non-Jupas applicants (local students who study in Hong Kong or overseas) is about 1,800. I do not know the number of Non-jupas applicants each year. If the number exceeds 3,600, it would appear that it is more difficult for Non-jupas applicants to be admitted to local colleges.

Well, not all students like to come back to HK... especially when considering the future of HK becoming more and more "red"...
