Student Goals

Application Challenges
The difficulty of this case lay in the application channel and timeline: applying through the International Students Admissions Scheme meant an extremely tight post-offer schedule — the offer arrived on 27 May, acceptance had to be confirmed before 5 June, all documents submitted before 15 July, and an enrolment deposit of HK$70,000 paid. This demanded high document readiness and well-paced family fund arrangements.
Tailored Application Plan (Dream / Match / Safety)
Follow the offer document process: confirm acceptance before 5 June 2026, submit the required documents before 15 July, pay the enrolment deposit of HK$70,000, after which the university processes enrolment and student visa procedures.
