Early Applications RoundupAs the deadlines for early applications are closing down, it’s the time to celebrate with those students who have submitted these on time. Submitting an application in the fall term is not an easy feat, considering that senior students have had to juggle many other responsibilities alongside. Regardless of the outcome of the application, this is an opportunity to affirm them on all the progress they have made so far.Almost 80% of our senior students have applied for the early rounds to universities in HKSAR, United States, and United Kingdom, with close to 90 applications being submitted altogether. These students can use the preparation for these early applications to submit for the regular round that is coming up in January.For those who have not submitted an application this term, this decision was likely made due to their main country of interest requiring applications to be submitted in the spring term. These regions are: Singapore, South Korea, EU, Australia, Canada, and Japan. In 1-1 meetings an application workshops, we are ensuring that they have everything prepared by the deadline.
