4 unconditional offers out of 11 from HKU, not bad as a new IB school.

I would like to know the programs and the description of "unconditional offers". I guess may be Education, Engineering and Science.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

I believe unconditional offers are for less competitive programmes. My friend's daughter also got unconditional offer. She applied 幼兒教育. My other friend's son got very low conditional offer of 34 for Earth Science but when he applied MBB in CU he was not granted a chance for interview.

No, HKU gives unconditional offers for top popular subjects, e.g. Medicine and Architecture

要注意，啟中雖然是IB School，但高中只有50%學生可讀IB, 其餘都要回到傳統課程，可推論：1）十一個取得港大學位的，基數是IB的半數學生，以新校來說，很不錯了 2）如果你仔女初中成績在50%人以下，入唔到IB Stream, 都幾大件事。

50% = how many students in CSS?
DBS IB = 33/220 in G12 this year.

Around 120-130 students each grade. 50% = 60-65. 11/65 = 17%

Are you sure?
From my understanding in MBBS, students got both offers from CUHK & HKU are conditional even PG = 42/42.

Heard from my colleague about her brother's case. But of course, I have no way to confirm the validity.

CUHK MBBS ? 42/42 ? No kidding me. I heard the lowest grades of public exams of successful applicants 2 years ago, I swore that I would never visit those doctors graduated from 2010 !

PG 42/42, the conditional offer of HKU is 41+/45 for MBBS.

For CUHK, the offers are lower than HKU this year.

I am not trying to be picky, but the announcement mentioned that only 41 students have received offers, i.e. 41 out of 60/65. What happens to the ones who do not have offers yet? Are they waiting for Us in the US?

I would be interested to know the results of the non-IB students. CSS runs MYP, right? Any sharing on the transition from MYP to local stream? Is the split between IB and non-IB stream simply based on MYP results?

"International Baccalaureate
For most applicants, marks are usually released in early July. The minimum requirement for interview is 40/42 (not counting the bonus marks) in the six subjects (with at least 3 at Higher Level, including Chemistry, and grades of at least 677 in the HL subjects). Biology is a preferred subject. A few students may be selected for early interview based on very high predicted marks. With increased competition in recent years, it is likely that most successful applicants will have scored at least 43/45 marks."

According to the above, it seems not consistent with your discription. Is it the case, the entrance barrier for non-jupas is far more higher than jupas?

I have no intention to insult CU Med students. In fact, I have no idea on their best students but I know much about their worst group. I trust my information source and never doubt about it. Anyway, the original thread is to discuss CSS, not CUHK. Should my comments cause bad feelings to anyone, I take my words back and apologize.

I attended CSS information day last year. The principle, Mr. Cheung, is very nice and explained everything in details. Unfortunately, my focus was on IB stream and forgot almost everything about another half. Mr.Cheung was frank with all parents and warned us that only 50% of students could admit IB diploma. This is mandated by EDB. I also want to understand how a MYP student can get back to local stream ?????
