dlgjsrb21 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Hello, I'm currently in Gr.11 I'm aiming to enter into HKU (University of HongKong), but one thing I worry is that I take Math Studies. To jump right into the question, is it 'acceptable' to apply for Business or Economics in HKU? My predicted score for Math Studies is 7.

dlgjsrb21 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Well, I've thoroughly searched in the webpage, and no such thing was mentioned at all Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezzah Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 email them and ask. the problem is that certain unis dont recognise maths studies. especially if you're doing econ and business 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
apoorva97 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Email the admissions office at HKU and ask - if the website doesn't state anything, your best bet is to call or email them. Better to be safe than sorry! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlgjsrb21 Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Thank you for advice.I've been waiting for reply from HKU for 4 days. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King112 Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 It will probably take some time as they get a huge amount of emails. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McJonald Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 i got an offer for BBA in HKU with a 7 with maths studies, HOWEVER, my predicted grade was 42/45 you get the idea Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magician Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 It is "acceptable" BUT if you take Math SL or HL and achieve let's say... a 6? It would look far more impressive than achieving a 7 the easy way. Also, taking SL or HL will make HKU feel that you are more prepared for their course - and you will certainly feel much easier during college. 5 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wynnewong Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I got an offer for Economics and Finance with a 6 in Math SL, so I'm guessing maybe for Business, but probably not Economics. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurriepie Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I got an offer for Economics and Finance with a 6 in Math SL, so I'm guessing maybe for Business, but probably not Economics. same here! a friend of mine got an offer for BBA min final ib grade 40 with 7 in math studies.
