  6. Iteration Process

  7. Iteration Process – Conclusions • First few choices (Band A) • matter most HKAL results must be strong enough to qualify for acceptance

  8. Choosing University Courses Interest? Ability? Market demand? Fame? Others’ expectations?

  9. HKU is better than other universities. • I will only choose HKU & CUHK courses. • I will never choose an AD / HD programme. Choosing University Courses ~ Dated / Negative Thoughts

  10. Choosing University Courses Keep an open mind Get to know programmes available Find their admission requirements Find out about your own interests

  11. Collecting Information JUPAS Guide JUPAS website University information days Pamphlets from universities University websites – often more details on ~ course description ~ admission requirements ~ interview arrangements etc

  12. E.g. CUHK Integrated BBA – Admission Formula ~ 50%HKCEE + 50% AL ~ HKCEE - Chi & Maths double-counted AL - UE double-counted ~ Bonus for additional AL pass A - 0.125 B - 0.1 C - 0.075 etc Bonus for additional AS pass A - 0.0625 B - 0.05 C - 0.0375 etc Total: 3.8470 points

  13. E.g. HKU Journalism ~ Extra credits - UE & CLC C or above ~ Summer media internships – 2-3 months ~ Chance for 1-2 semesters at overseas universities E.g. PolyU – Hotel Management ~ Interview Arrangements

  14. Collecting Information 6. HKACMGM –聯招號外(Oct / Nov) 7. 學友社 ~ 中七指南(Free Oct) ~ http://www.student.hk 大專篇 / 高考通訊 8. 教搜社 / 明報高考全攻畧 etc ~ can order through school

  21. Weighting of HKCEE Results -2008 figures

  22. Collecting Information 8. Career Committee Resources ~ SAC, Careers Room & Website ~ University interview questions ~ University admission grades (past 3 years) 9. Teachers / Family / Friends / Others ~ Get first-hand information

  23. Finding out About Your Interests John Holland’s Career Interest Inventory - 36 questions Academic Programme Preference Inventory (Hok Yau Club & OUHK) http://www.student_hk/appraisal/appi/?lang=c(English version = e) - 120 questions, free, assessment report Career Interest Inventory (HKACMGM) http://www.mycareermap.org - 238 questions, $10 @, assessment report

  27. Offer Statistics: JUPAS Website Mostly Band A choices

  28. Determining Top Choices 1. Interest 2. Be Realistic ~ Expected AL results Vs Admission data (min. 3 years preferably) ~ HKAL Vs HKCEE weighting ~ Course quota ~ Chance for interviews

  29. Wise Strategies? • All choices in Band A highly challenging • Many successive choices ~ courses of similar type e.g. HKBU Communication  4-5 courses ~ courses of similar requirements • Exclude some universities / courses out of bias • No safe choices in Band D / E

  30. Good Strategies • Staircase approach • Some risk taking in Band A choices
