Hello,

Am new to this forum. I submitted my application for round 2.
My profile:
GMAT-640
Work Ex: 8+ years across Japan, India, Singapore and France.
GPA: 3.5/4

What are the chances that i receive an interview call given my low GMAT score and R2 application ?

Hey it's been a while since I logged back in here...
It's good to see that 3 people have already been admitted to HKUST.
My app still says "Under Review" :(
guess it just wasn't meant to be... :)

There's also a third, very real possibility that there could be two discussion threads, leaving people confused as to which thread to post in :wink:

Sigh.... got my official ding this morning.

Can't say that I am surprised though, I had a feeling when I didn't hear back last week :(

Congratulations to everyone who made in, and good luck to everyone who is still waiting for your decision.

I have joined to group for 2012 admits. It seems that so far 7 or 8 admits have been offered. Some of them are from India, South Korea, Singapore, china, Japan and London.

Until you don't get a ding letter, this is no over yet. Hang on....

I applied on 12/15 and got the interview right before New Years for 1/4. I guess I should hear within 4 weeks.

Congrats on the interview call. Do you mind sharing your profile ??

Did any other R2 applicant hear back ?

I am an R2 applicant as well, applied on Dec-15 and am waiting for a call.

just got my admit from HKUST. R1 Applicant. They gave me a scholarship of HK$ 75,000.

However my admissions is conditional, given I have to provide them with the following

· the official GMAT report
· the official transcript and certificate of the first degree with official English translation
· an official document which indicates the medium of instruction of the completed undergraduate or postgraduate degree program was English
· the employment proof of all the job positions held listed on the application
· the salary proof of the latest 12 months

Admitted students - did your admissions offer have such criteria?

Not all of them but some of them. It is normal to ahve conditional offer.

If you don't mind my asking, did you get merit based scholarship?
