You and I still consider LPCUWC still the front runner of IBDP in HK.
That's good for the kids, they have a target to hit.

Well said, my target for my boy is 38+/45. MBBS HKU, Economics in LSE or Cambridge are all fine to me.
I like the curriculum design, and he enjoys and embraces the challenges, the results will follow.

We are not discussing whether 33 or 34 score is good or not. To me 33 or 34 is quite good. I have a nephew who scored 29 several years ago. This year he graduated with a 2:1 LLB from a second tier UK university.

What we are discussing is whether an IB student can "hea" or  not. Using your example, the DBS students were screened (for their ability and interest) before they are admitted to take the IBDP. If they have the ability to study and not interested in scoring 40+ for Harvard or HKU medical school, why their score is so "low" if they are not "hea"?

The standard offer of LSE and Cambridge for Economics is 38 with 766 or 776 in HL. There is no interview by LSE. If your son's interview is fine with Cambridge, I have pretty certain that he has an offer from either or both school.

Regarding MBBS or MB ChB of the two local medical schools, I think they would invite your son for an interview if his PG is 40/42. Given the increase of spaces from 160 to 210 for each medical school (totally an increase of 100), I think the competition is less fierce than the year before.

For LSE, very sure to have an offer, only Cambridge is questionable.

I guess he will get at least one medicine offer in HK.

HKUST BBA as safety net.

joys2334,

你讲左我多年想讲的话, 谢!  Mighty 的女儿还年少, 他用hea字来形容日常生活, 亦无可厚非.

这个'hea'字, 跟大家羡慕人家孩子非常乖又出色时, 话你就好彩啦, 那个'好彩'二字差不多. 世界上那有甘多好彩, 人家父母背后是有学问的,发了功而不着跡吧!  

错觉以为IS孩子时常'hea', 是因为他们大部分时光也是做着自己喜欢的事.  小学时看书看到天婚地暗, 如果把看书时光,量化如其他教育体系的功课+温习, 他们花的努力,随时是同辈群组的top 2%. 中学时是一边听歌一边做功课, 做  project, 专心做, 很少投诉, 无论多忙, 照样生活, 不会轻易放弃钟爱的sports, music and hobbies. 因此也是超忙碌的, 他们每天是干着钟爱的事, 表现轻松, 神态自若, 旁人不明所以, 便用'hea'字来形容, 看真点, 是善用时间, 那有''hea'过才真.

天下那有不劳而获的事情, 下次我们觉得人家好彩数或'hea' 下已经很出色,不妨再查究背后的因由.

In short, they are taking a "hea" life style whether or not he is taking IBDP or not.

joys2334,

One thing I notice is IS students always enjoy what they do and excel in that whilst some local students strive very hard to reach the top.  The difference is the former enjoy what they do and the latter suffer during the process.  That explains what people see "hea" for the IS students and hard working or "pain" in local students.
