agreed 100%, good luck at Insead or any other top school you choose.



Hi copernicus,

I'm starting to research MBA programs and I'm interested in learning about HKUST - specifically, the admissions criteria. I'm having a difficult time finding mean/median GMAT scores.. only what's on the HKUST site (80% range, which is vague at best). Any insight would be greatly apprediated.

Thanks,

Unfortunately I dont know anything about average GMAT scores for incoming class, but in an informatl conversation with admisssions i was told that both quality of applicants and test scores have risen considerably after recent showings in FT and EIU rankings.

Saying that, it is still a lot easier getting into HKUST than into Insead. HKUST still does not get many "blue chip" candidates so if you have solid international work experience your gmat score, if low, would probably be discounted somewhat.

The class size has also increased and I believe that they will split it into two groups.

sorry there Copernicus but I have to strongly disagree with your statements. you certainly have not had a privilege of meeting the incoming hkust class or you would not be saying what you had done so.

i can assure you that this class has more than few blue chips as you had called them, furthermore i am certain that at least half of this class could have gone to Insead if they choose to. this is in no way me demeaning Insead, as its a great school!! but please realize that hkust is improving greatly every year and its a great alternative for someone looking to pursue an mba in asia.
