Hi,

Though HKU and CUHK are very similar in terms of diversity, academics and career development - are there specific reasons to chose one from the other?

My profile:

GMAT: 700

Qualification: PGDBM (2011) from Tier II college in INDIA, CFA charter holder and FRM charter holder

Experience: Corporate Banking: 3 years and Fixed Income Securities: 3 years

Career Goal: To work in a developed financial market such as Singapore/Hong Kong in a large banking organization. Areas of interest fixed income securities, securitisation and cross-country debt financing.

Which of the two programmes will most rightly be apt to help me achieve my career aspirations?

Thanks in advance.

If you are still in the process of applying, then you should apply to both programs. Its always better to keep your options open at this stage and have the choice to select from two admits.

Personally, I love the HKU program's option of studying a term at either Columbia Business School or London Business School. You get to become alumni of both the colleges - HKU and LBS/CBS. It also gives you a very valuable network.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
