It depends on your child performance while every university has their own schedule to inform their decision to applicants, there is no fixed timeline, all you can do is to check emails frequently!

想請問各位，如報non jupas, IGCSE Eng 已考獲A*，是否一定要考ILETS?  看過香港啲大學網頁，英文的要求是ILETS 或IGCSE 達致某水平，但昨天去中大講座話只睇IELTS，有啲混淆，所以想請教各位！

不是—定但最好考ielts,大學詢問處講 多數人會考埋ielts報大學，雖然igcse一様是公開試但ielts較容易明白及接收。。。

有朋友個仔香港non jupas, 報名時無ielts成績, 但後來入讀的中大科目, 課程結構包括到海外大學exchange program, 唔到你唔去, 對方大學要求學生ielts 7分才符合入讀資格, 中大方面原則上已收佢, 但叫佢盡快考番ielts才算正式收咗, 都麻煩

個學生本身亦有IGCSE eng 同IB成績

如香港只用作back up, 無須fast track 階段報, accept offer 要交$10000留位費，唔讀無得退
...

阿仔返咗嚟已經填好哂HKU 同UST non JUPAS online form. 等埋學校俾predicted grades 同reference (應該係跟UCAS) 就可以submit, 但我有兩個問題 :

1. 個personal statement 緊唔緊要？因為阿仔響英國報materials science 但香港無呢科，佢會報engineering. 佢又想慳皮用UCAS 個PS 改少少就算，都通嘅，但當然無UCAS 個version 咁好。所以想知香港啲Unis 有幾重視PS?

2. 之前提過，其實阿仔strongly prefer 留英國讀大學，香港unis 只係for back up. 所以我cheap cheap 地盡量唔想俾嗰一萬蚊留位費，until confirm 阿仔英國啲offers 唔夠buffer 先俾。咁我應該幾時submit?assume UCAS 嗰邊一月尾前有哂results?

Postpone submitting your son's non JUPAS applications, particularly he is applying for a nowadays not so competitive choice of engineering.  Otherwise, when your son receives the conditional offer, he needs to pay a deposit within a short time.

thanks a lot for the advice.
Just got a reminder email from HKU about their main round closing on Nov 16!! Should we catch up with this deadline or a later one? I will go to their open day on my son’s behalf (he will be back to UK) on Nov 4 to find out more.

有聽過non jupas比 jupas重視personal statement, 朋友孩子英國同香港申請同一科，只把PS內UK改HK，有收港大offer. 我会main round 截止前申請，non jupas有時比較遲才出offer

There were fast track and main round applications before.  It seems there is only main round this year.  But HKU's website has the following notes:
*Late applications will be accepted after the Main Round application deadline and before 12:00 noon, July 15, 2018 (Hong Kong Time).
**Only students who have submitted an application by the Main Round application deadline will be considered for interviews between December 2017 to January 2018. Interviews for late applicants will be considered on a case by case basis. Separate email invitation to interview will be sent to shortlisted students.
^Students who receive an offer of admission are normally required to accept the offer within two to three weeks.

Again, as engineering is not very competitive nowadays and interview is not normally mandatory, "late applications" may be considered if unwilling to pay the deposit at an unnecessarily early stage.  Better ask on the information day of course.

thank u for all your info and advice slamai and poonseelai!!

Ya I think my son will apply by deadlines for main round both for HKU and UST.

Regarding the PS, it is a bit “tricky” as he applies for Materials Science in UK but Civil Eng in HK, as his PS is tailored for MatSci, it seems not that strong by just tweaking it for CivEng. But anyway, it is up to him and nothing I can help. Also he is now very busy preparing for UK unis’ entrance test and interviews (now 4 out of 5 require him to do interview/open day!), I don’t want to add on unnecessary burden on him.

All the UK schools and unis will be closed during Xmas holidays.

I think international students are either exempted for interviews or can do Skype interviews. Even for Oxbridge, some colleges would let international students choose Skype or face to face interviews.
