I am not sure, but I've heard Universities in Australia are generous when it comes to scholarships.

thats more like it!

You want scholarships? apply early to HKU and NUS

You have a much much better chance there

Western universities DONT give much aid these days. Australia has sky high fees (if u convert them into rupees). I was advised by a senior to NOT to apply to top 3 universities in Australia.

i was told to apply for admission as well as aid from 4th, 5th ranked univ where international candidates have much higher chance of getting a scholarship/aid

NUS is the National University of Singapore? And what is HKU?

I've to try at NUS too. Almost forgot with everything going on at the same time.

It's the University of Hong Kong. I've seen many good students here in Pakistan apply to this University. So I guess it's good and affordable.

 

[anwar2400]

Yes it's university of Hong Kong. Hkust and hku are two different universities. Apply to hku

 

[AlphaCentauri]

Alright, thank you both.

 

[anwar2400]

Apply early. I mean early admission. You can get 60-70% aid. For normal admission I haven't heard anything more than 35%. For 2013 session I think early admission dates have passed. Check to confirm

What's the difference between early and normal?

 

[anwar2400]

Early is if you get the admission, you have to pay part of 1st year fee within the next 3 weeks etc. this can vary a bit. It's like university tries to secure you to them

How many A's you have in olevels?

Since you paid them some money, you would NOT go to another university as then you would lose your money

 

[AlphaCentauri]

8 As. No A*s for 2009.

Okay, thank you for the clarification.

 

[anwar2400]

Well that is good for scholarship on early admission there. I guess maybe 60%

For normal admission maybe 35%

Are you applying for 2013 or 2014?

 

[anwar2400]

Because I don't think you can apply for early admission for 2013. You are late. It's in October deadline. Confirm it by website of hku

 

[AlphaCentauri]

2013. Early admission isn't for me. I am simply trying to get there. If I get accepted by LSE, I leave all applications and go there-- if* I get accepted. Pure Econs is really really really tough to get in.

 

[anwar2400]

You may get accepted but NOT in the desirable course of yours.

A friend of mine rejected LSE because he didn't get a good enough course for the huge costs he was to spend

Your olevel grades, teacher recommendations and Alevel internal school grades all matter. I'm not sure whether they ask for an essay.

I'm sorry... I didn't get you there... Because he didn't get a good enough course? There is only one course, no? You don't get to choose?

 

[anwar2400]

I don't know about it precisely. He told me he didn't get his desired course. That's what he told me

. Maybe they offered him a place at another course. So they didn't totally reject his application but neither did they fully accept it. Actually universities can do that to you!

This happens with LSE? I knew it can be an outright rejection, but not a transfer to another course...

 

[anwar2400]

I will confirm with him and let you know.

 

[AlphaCentauri]

I will confirm with him and let you know.

It's okay though. Anyway, have to wait.

Thank you so far.

Are the universities you mentioned above good enough?
