Nowadays, Hong Kong and Singapore have become a popular area for more and more students and parents to study abroad, and in order to compete for excellent students, some Hong Kong and Singapore universities have set up early admission for popular majors, which is the so-called "early approval".
What are the benefits of applying for early approval?
◾ The biggest advantage of early approval is that the number of eligible people is small, and the competition is smaller, so the chances of admission are greatly improved.
◾ The early approval application will not affect the regular batch application, and even if the early approval is rejected, you can still participate in the regular batch application, which is equivalent to saying that there is an extra chance for review.
◾ Students can apply for early approval while preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, and getting an offer can reduce the pressure of the postgraduate entrance examination party at the end of the year.
Who is suitable for early approval?
Judging from past application experience, the top universities in Hong Kong and Singapore generally prefer applicants with strong undergraduate backgrounds, so the probability of students with 985/211 undergraduate institutions getting an offer will be very high.
Most Hong Kong schools require written tests and interviews, and the performance of the interview is an important part of the school's evaluation of whether to give an offer, so students with good spoken English will have an advantage.
