Admission Scores
Students are reminded that the admission scores are not
comparable across programmes and different admission
years, because of the different weightings adopted. The
sample cases are for reference only and should not be used
to predict the chance of admission. The selection criteria
vary each year, and many types of scores are used in
the selection process. In addition to public examination
results, other factors (such as band choices etc.) may also
be considered.
