Yes, R3 FT, no idea if i got any money. So far only a telephone notice. They said details will be in the email.

intake2012fall, congrats! I got interviewed end of march. I guess i still have to wait a couple of weeks for the decision.

Thank you! I think so or you can write and ask. I mean I might be called because I sent them an email. Anyway, good luck!

I emailed the admin office to ask, and got a reply saying that it (usually) takes 4 weeks from the interview date.

Thanks for the info. got to wait till next week i supposed.

Just got my acceptance email from HKUST (official letter to follow by post). Got until May 9th to make the deposit. Anybody else heard back already?

Not yet. Sigh.... Did you get any scholarship with the offer? Are you going to take it? Posted from my mobile device

Hey Raju You're not alone. Applied on Mar 15 - status showing "under review". Have 10+ years of work ex, and HKUST is the only school I've applied to, so quite keen to see how this turns out. As I see it, it isn't over till the fat lady sings, so hang in there! Cheers Thank You ashwin and aviroop For those encouraging words...... Hi Raju Hope you had better luck than me - haven't heard from them yet With only 3 days to go for interview notifications as the published admissions calendar, don't think that bodes well. A
