Where will the Huai'an girl Bai Xiangling, who got a high score of 430 in the Jiangsu 2020 college entrance examination, go? On the morning of August 2nd, the reporter contacted Bai Xiangling's mother. She said that her daughter finally applied for the University of Hong Kong, with the professional intention of majoring in finance.
HKU may provide a million scholarship
After the college entrance examination rankings were released, many netizens felt sorry for her experience: can outstanding students be admitted by colleges and universities?
In this regard, the reporter contacted many universities such as Peking University and Nanjing University. The Jiangsu Admissions Team of Peking University stated that it has not received any notice of exceptional admission of Bai Xiangling. Teacher Li, who is in charge of Huai'an enrollment work at Nanjing University, said that the enrollment team has paid attention to Bai Xiangling's situation, but the rules are first in the enrollment work. On July 28, the reporter contacted Bai Xiangling's mother. She said that her daughter was choosing a college and had not made a final decision. Bai Xiangling himself has publicly stated that he has a little regret, and now he is considering the best school within his abilities. On August 1, the reporter called Bai Xiangling’s mother again, and she told the reporter that the child was still thinking about school and major choices and was preparing to fill in the volunteers on August 2.
Many universities have therefore noticed what happened to Bai Xiangling, and the University of Hong Kong is one of them. The reporter learned that the University of Hong Kong took the initiative to contact Bai Xiangling's family. On the evening of August 2, Bai Xiangling’s mother publicly stated through the media that the University of Hong Kong might provide more than one million scholarships for four years. "Under normal circumstances, if you have to apply by yourself, the family burden is very heavy. The University of Hong Kong also guarantees that she is in a good class. It is already possible, and I am satisfied with the result, which is unexpectedly good."
History B+ makes her miss many famous schools
As the first place in the liberal arts of Jiangsu College Entrance Examination in 2020, Bai Xiangling made such a choice, which is related to the level of her college entrance examination. Although she scored 430 in three subjects other than Mathematics, but because of the B+ in history in the selected test level, she regretted that she did not have a chance with universities such as Peking University and Qinghua University.
Previously, this newspaper has made a special interpretation of this. Why does the province's first place in liberal arts have a B+ and miss Qingbei? That's because in the current Jiangsu college entrance examination program, the total score of Chinese, mathematics and foreign language is 480 points, and the other two subjects of the candidates are counted in the way of selective test levels. In the national C9 alliance colleges and universities' enrollment policy for Jiangsu college entrance examination, Tsinghua University, Peking University and other colleges and universities all require elective subjects to be graded A or higher.
In the past years of college entrance examinations, high-scoring candidates did not have double A in the selected test levels. Bai Xiangling is not the first case. In 2019, Cai Zhuang, a high-scoring candidate for science in Nanjing, got a good score of 429 in the college entrance examination. However, in the selected test level, the chemistry subject failed to get an A, only a B+. That year, when the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences was admitted in Jiangsu Province, the minimum requirement for physics in two selected subjects was A, and the minimum requirement for the other subject was B. Cai Zhuang's selective test level requirements are in line with the admissions policy of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the college entrance examination scores are undoubtedly reaching the threshold. In the end, Cai Zhuang was admitted by the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences.
University of Hong Kong Admission Interview in English
The University of Hong Kong, to which Bai Xiangling applied, adopted independent enrollment in the Mainland. According to the "Hong Kong and Macao College Admissions" topic on the Sunshine College Entrance Examination Platform of the Ministry of Education, 21 Hong Kong and Macao colleges and universities enrolling students in the Mainland have two enrollment methods. One is the unified enrollment method adopted by the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the City University of Hong Kong, and the other is The independent enrollment method adopted by 13 universities in Hong Kong including the University of Hong Kong and 6 universities in Macau including the University of Macau.
13 Hong Kong schools, including the University of Hong Kong, have enrollment plans regardless of province. Candidates must take the college entrance examination and register in accordance with the requirements of the Hong Kong school. They will participate in the written examination and interview separately organized by the school. The school will admit new students based on the candidates' college entrance examination results and other requirements. Candidates admitted by 13 independent admissions colleges in Hong Kong will no longer participate in the unified remote online admission of mainland universities.
According to the official admission plan of the University of Hong Kong's Mainland Undergraduates, the University of Hong Kong's 2020 Mainland Undergraduate Admissions Plan is expected to enroll 300 students. There is no limit on the number of places in each province and city, and the best admission is selected. Applications for the HKU Mainland Undergraduate Admissions Program this year will continue to be open until July 28, 2020. At the same time, the University of Hong Kong stated that, in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Education, the 2020 college entrance examination candidates in the Mainland can apply for the University of Hong Kong. Hong Kong University’s mainland enrollment plan is different from the unified enrollment mechanism of mainland universities and has its own independent registration procedure. In the admission process, the Hong Kong Congress will give priority to the following factors: the applicant's overall college entrance examination score and English score; the applicant's overall performance in the interview (if qualified for the interview); the overall quality of the applicant. The interview will be conducted in English.
The reporter learned that in 1998, undergraduate courses in Hong Kong universities began to recruit mainland students, opening up the "gateway" for mainland high school students to study in Hong Kong. The mainland students who go to Hong Kong for undergraduate studies each year have raised the topic of Hong Kong schools robbing the mainland's top college entrance examinations, and it has also brought the impact of healthy competition to Hong Kong local students. However, in recent years, the "Hong Kong school fever" has gradually cooled. Especially in 2013, Liu Dingning, the champion of liberal arts in Liaoning Province, was admitted by the University of Hong Kong with a full scholarship, but he chose to drop out one month later and re-take the college entrance examination the next year. He was admitted to the Chinese Department of Peking University with the highest score in the liberal arts of Liaoning Province. Cause a sensation. Judging from the enrollment of Hong Kong schools in recent years, the proportion of the college entrance examination champions obtained by the University of Hong Kong and the Chinese University of Hong Kong has declined.
