HARVARD, POMONA, STANFORD, WELLESLEY You’re invited! Join admission officers from Harvard, Pomona, Stanford, and Wellesley at one of our upcoming virtual sessions for counselors and educators. At each event (September 21, 5:00 pm US PDT, and October 21, 8:00 am US PDT), we will share brief institutional updates before addressing the top 10 most frequently asked questions you and your colleagues submit ahead of each session. While Covid-19 continues to disrupt our ability to connect in person, we hope that events like these will allow us to stay in touch and to share information needed to support students through their college search.

Join the Sister Colleges for a Q & A

Posted by heo

Curious about what sets the Sister Colleges apart? Wondering how to start the conversation with students you think might be a fit for a women’s college? Then join us for a panel and learn what defines the Sisters. A legacy of empowerment. An abiding commitment to access and equity. A rigorous, interdisciplinary academic experience in a community of inspired learners. And rich campus opportunities — internships, research, leadership growth, career prep and social life — that prepare our students to launch.

The deans and directors of admission invite you to one of our joint, virtual sessions:

Tuesday, September 14, 7:30-8:45 pm EDT (-4 GMT)
Saturday, September 18, 1:00-2:15 pm EDT (-4 GMT)

While these sessions are designed for prospective students and families — we encourage you to share our invite! — it’s also a great primer for counselors less familiar with the Sister Colleges.

Register at wellesley.edu/admission/sisters.

We hope to see you there.

Early Bird Registration for HKUST Experience Day 2021

Further to our promotion of the HKUST Virtual Information Day, we would like to bring you further exciting news concerning your graduating class students as follow.   Early bird invitation to the HKUST Experience Day 2021 (Download the sign-up form here)   In view of the improving pandemic situation locally, we are hosting an on-campus event “HKUST Experience Day 2021”, exclusively for the graduating year students, on Sunday, 10 Oct. The event is a hub of interesting face-to-face experiential programs, participants will get a real taste of HKUST through taster lectures, tailored workshops, laboratory visits and demonstration, and dormitory and campus tours, alongside with admissions consultation booths for in-person engagement with our admissions officers and students. These experiential programs perfectly complement the admissions talks offered through our Virtual Information Day on Saturday, 25 Sep. We highly recommend your students to attend both events which offer completely different experience.   To manage health and safety measures, the event will be split into two identical sessions with limited capacity for experiential programs. Having received many of your bright students over the years, we are pleased to offer Early Bird Registration for your graduating year students to sign up for Session 2 (14:00 – 18:00) before the event goes public. Grateful if you may kindly inform them and nominate interested students by returning the sign-up form by 12:00 noon of Monday, 13 Sep. Full event details and RSVP link will be sent to the nominated students in due course.   Counselors are most welcome to join the HKUST Experience Day 2021   At the event, we will host a tailored Counselor Mingling and Consultation Session (15:00 – 16:00) for counselors like you. Admissions officers from Schools and Programs would share important admissions updates and answer any questions you may have. Please fill in details of attending counselor(s) on the same sign-up form for RSVP.   What’s new for HKUST (2022 Intake)   To start with, our online application system will open on 27 Sep, with early round deadline on 19 Nov 2021 and main round deadline on 14 Jan 2022. This year, we are offering a new application choice BSc in Sustainable and Green Finance, leveraging the heightening sustainability concerns and demands for talents in the finance sector.   The Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence will be made available for our business students when they start declaring their majors while an entirely new Extended Major in Digital Media and Creative Arts will also be launched.   Last but not least, we are proud to announce the establishment of HKUST Beyond Academic Admissions Scholarship (BAAS), a new scholarship to absorb our previous two non-academic scholarships and further expand the scope to recognize a much broader spectrum of talents and achievements. Awardees would enjoy a one-off scholarship of HKD 50,000 and favorable admissions offer(s).   We hope you and your students are excited about these updates as much as we do.   Thank you and looking forward to welcoming you and your students at HKUST Experience Day 2021 in person (Finally!). We will be in touch soon to follow up on any questions.
