I try to answer your question about local boys...

i would really like to comment on this.
in fact, the boy is excellent in oral and writing as he's a canadian-chinese

he never goes onto facebook or internet games..just studying

in terms of maturity..i have no idea..but he's a quiet boy, sometimes a little bit hardcore

yes this is just a tip of the iceberg.

There are other factors not mentioned in previous posts which can have impact on U offers, e.g. personal statement, reference letter, awards, ECAs, etc.
I observe that "just studying" (not many ECAs?) and "quiet" (interview performance?) may be hints why he seems to be less successful in obtaining U offers viz-a-viz his PG.

I am a new member and just browse through the previous informative messages.

Is there any information/statistics on UK/USA university offers to the current NSS F.6 students for 2012 entry?

Welcome to EK.
As HKDSE is new exam with zero reference, I don't have solid info of your questions. That's why my son switched to IBDP instead of HKDSE. Sorry about that.

ANChan59

Just hearsays about my son's schools  non-JUPAS admission status

3 unconditional offers from CUHK in Medicine
2 conditional offers from HKU Medicine
2 conditional offers from HKU Law
1 conditional offer from HKU BBA n Law and Arch respectively
5 conditional offers from CUHK QFin
1 conditional offer from CUHK Global Biz

33 students in IB year 2, 75% students have PG 35+, may be more unconditional offers next year.

Thanks for the sharing, Mr. ANChan 59,
Are the offers based on IGSE results and PG?
Are the ones who got the unconditional offers are with proved academic results?
What are the conditions for the conditional offers?
How is this result when compared to other IB schools in Hong Kong?

Are the offers based on IGSE results and PG?
Based mainly on PG of IBDP, some students also have SAT and IELTS.

Are the ones who got the unconditional offers are with proved academic results?
Based on PG 40+.

What are the conditions for the conditional offers?
QFin 37+/ 45
Medicine HKU 40-42/45
Others not very sure.

How is this result when compared to other IB schools in Hong Kong?
I don't want to compare with other IB schools, as I didn't have all offer info and some universities not yet release all early admission offers yet. Moreover, I feel final offers may be more important than conditional offers.


I also interested to know, my son's school may have more unconditional offers based on PG after a couple of years track record.....

It seems that the conditional offers are comparable to those of UK universities.
By the way, do these students get similar offers from UK / USA universities based of the PG?

My child is first batch of NSS and so, used PG of NSS for applying UK universities.

HKDSE or NSS is without PG for admission? that's what I know...... May be I am wrong. Can you tell me what's the PG from NSS?

For UCAS application, there need to have predicted grades. So, the school gives the HKDSE predicted grades for students.

I see. I mixed at up with Early Admission in HK.
For UCAS, it's difficult to provide conditional offers with zero track record. That's really bother me for my son suppose will be 2nd batch of HKDSE.

Good luck to your child and get in the targeted program.

It is lucky that he got some conditional offers (UK) but still waiting for others.

For universities in HK, yes, no more EAS. Attended HKU interview but that seems not much use. Mainly depends on HKDSE results.

IB seems offers more opportunities, I'm sure your son will get what he wants.

Glad to know your son's promising progress in admission, both HK & UK.
Wait and see my son's 2nd term exam result which highly related to PG.

Cheers

Yes, correct and also compete with HD and AD holders, if the results are good, IB is preferable among universities in HK.
