Self-recommendation Scheme

(For new students admitted through JUPAS only)

Freshmen who have chosen Chung Chi College as the first choice will be invited to apply for the scheme. The College will shortlist students for online interviews according to their academic results and other experiences in secondary school. The interview provides a platform for freshmen to describe and explain their interest and reason for joining our College. On the other hand, it allows the College to further understand freshmen’s expectations.
