Hi all,

I am starting this thread for discussions on Hong Kong University (HKU) 2009 application/interview process and admits. Here we can discuss about what all is required during the admission process and final admits and beyond..

Its really time we take the initiative and make this a platform useful for budding HKU MBA aspirants. Admission is yet to open and I see not much activity for HKU. May be this placeholder will give it a boost.

Thanks,

PS:
@ Mods: I could not find any active thread regarding 2009 HKU admits. I think that there may be some info in 2008 admits thread which are general in nature and may be useful here as well. Could some merging of some selective posts be done. Just in case it can be..

I remember creating this Thread a couple of days back, but I didn't find it in the main Thread. Did the Mods delete it? (I didn't get any intimation regarding this). Is this thread repetitive?

can anybody post the essay questions for the mba application of hkust last year.

[saketverma24]

nice to know abt HKU. what about the placement scenario. is MBA degree of HKU enough to get you a decent job in Asia (as an ISB/IIM degree in India assures a good job).
is the degree given value by the recruiters? or is it the pre MBA work ex, which matters more than degree(like NUS, where MBA degree is not given any importance).

and what about the brand name of HKU in India?

thanks
P.S.- I dont want to be jobless or underemployed after a MBA from HKU.

hi everyone,

Does HKU follow rolling admissions or other wise?

Hey Guys,
Fantastic medium for us to share info and knowledge regd the HKU admin process.

The essay topic for HKU is -
Please provide below a statement explaining why you are interested in doing this programme, why you are suitable for it and the value of the MBA programme to your future career

If you notice, Q1 & Q3 are basically asking the same info.
How can we answer the two questions with different answers?

Thanks,
Amit
