Is HKUST a well known university in the globe? A lot of people have heard or know about HKU but I’m not sure this is the case for HKUST

Hi Guys!
I have recently received offers from HKU (LBS Track with scholarship) and HKUST. HKUST's scholarship is yet to be finalised. Which school shall I go for? or, Shall I wait for the decisions from Schools in USA? I am expected to give a response to the HK schools by 16th. I am also awaiting decisions from ISB.
Is there any difference between HKU and HKUST in terms of culture/networking/academics/brand name/employability ?
I have been able to track some alumnis of HKUST on linkedin, however, I was not able to find many from HKU MBA. I tried to reach out to a few alumnis but none of them replied :')
I am really confused.
beingappy you are asking a very broad question here, regarding the chances at US B schools or ISB without any context.
Between HKUST and the HKU business school, you will likely find more active alumni from the former especially if you are looking for Indian alumni. But from within my circle, I have known from first hand sources that the opportunities at HKU have been decent as well. Some highly sought after positions in the Singapore job market in Big tech are filled from HKU, so I have observed that the business school has a good reach in the dynamic markets in Asia. I suggest you request the HKU officials to help you connect with some alumni or current students.
If you absolutely cannot find anyone, reach out to me and I will see what I can do. HKUST has a better brand recall in the rest of the world , but with the LBS track, HKU does look attractive too.
