1-MIN READ1-MIN ListenConnor MycroftPublished: 6:00am, 20 Aug 2026Nearly two-thirds of Hong Kong students who requested a reconsideration of their university placement due to reviewed entrance exam results will receive a better outcome than previously allotted.
Of those, 287 applicants, or 63.4 per cent, will receive a university admissions offer or better offers than before, up from 58.6 per cent a year earlier.
Thursday’s results marked the highest reconsideration success rate since 2018, when 65.4 per cent of applicants received an improvement in their allocations.
Among the requests received by the admissions body this year, the office said that 204 applicants with main round offers would receive a “better” degree offer following the reconsideration, while 83 applicants who had not received an offer would receive one.
