Chances for HKUST for an average student

[16hkwon]

Hi I am an average international student.

I am currently in 12th grade, and I'm doing the full IB diploma. 

And these are my courses.

HL Math

HL Computer Science 

HL Economics

SL Physics

SL English 

SL Spanish Ab initio

 

Activities 

 

Computer Honor Society for 2 years 

Coding club for 2 years 

Clay club for 2 years 

Economics club for 1 year 

Chess club for 1 year 

<Service Club>

Recycling Club for 4 years and am currently a leader of the club.

Blind School Club for 2 years. 

JV Basketball for 2 years - won Most Service Player

Varsity Basketball for 2 years 

 

And I have also done a Columbia business school entrepreneurship program and won a first place, and another entrepreneurship program in S.Korea and won 3rd place out of 30 teams. 

 

I haven't gotten expected scores yet, but I am expecting a low grade because I messed up Math and English really badly. So I am thinking of 30 -35. 

And I am taking SAT 1 in October and I'm expecting about 2150 or 2200. 

I know HKUST requires a very high IB grades, but I really do want to study in HKUST and hope that the actual expected scores are little bit higher. 

So could you please tell me what are the chances for getting in to HKUST and also could you tell me which one, Computer Science or economics, is tougher to get in for HKUST? 

 

Thank you very much.
