JUPAS ABC
Iteration Process
HKAL results must be strong enough to qualify for acceptance
Iteration Process – Conclusions
First few choices (Band A) matter most
Choosing University Courses
1. Interest?
2. Ability?
3. Market demand?
4. Fame?
5. Others’ expectations?
Choosing University Courses~ Dated / Negative Thoughts
HKU is better than other universities.
I will only choose HKU & CUHK courses.
I will never choose an AD / HD programme.
Choosing University Courses
1. Keep an open mind
2. Get to know programmes available
3. Find their admission requirements
4. Find out about your own interests
Collecting Information
1. JUPAS Guide
2. JUPAS website
3. University information days
4. Pamphlets from universities
5. University websites – often more details on
~ course description
~ admission requirements
~ interview arrangements etc
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
E.g. HKU Journalism ~ Extra credits - UE & CLC C or above
~ Summer media internships – 2-3 months
