First of all, your idea is reasonable in theory. However, it is difficult to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination and study abroad. Every year is "the most difficult year for postgraduate entrance examination in history", and the application for studying abroad is similar. I suggest you try your best to choose a path and go all out. Of course, after the postgraduate entrance examination, I really can't. You can also plan your application for studying abroad that year. Some people (with good English) may still apply for studying abroad in the autumn of that year, such as some schools in China, Hongkong, Britain and the United States or the United States next spring.

Studying in Hong Kong is cost-effective and a good "back road". I wonder if it is reliable.

You're right. Studying in China and Hongkong is really cost-effective, which is a good "back road" for the postgraduate entrance examination party. This is exactly where the problem lies: as you think, there are many people, especially in the last two or three years, the number of mainland applicants for China, Hongkong, China and Macau has doubled, and the competition is extremely fierce.

Your school background is a comparative advantage, and the problems are mainly in two aspects: First, the preparation time is hasty; Second, the English foundation is slightly poor.

We went to a university in official website and looked at the admission requirements. We found that in terms of language requirements, TOEFL requirements are mostly around 80, but IELTS requirements are mostly 6.5. The problem comes out: according to the experience of many students, TOEFL score of 80 may be a little easier than IELTS 6.5. In addition, it is very important that more and more universities in Hong Kong do not recognize CET-6, or CET-6 is not competitive in practical application.

I don't know what your major is. If you don't apply for finance, computer and other popular majors, the competition may be slightly weak. For example, there is a student studying materials. This major can be found in official website. The City University of Hong Kong (the top 60 universities in QS World University) has some graduate students enrolled.

City University of Hong Kong application conditions

As can be seen from the screenshot of official website, if you apply for a master's course in materials specialty that starts in the fall of 2022, the deadline is May 3, 20221. Fortunately, Chengda still recognizes level 6. Therefore, students majoring in materials can try to apply after the postgraduate entrance examination this year. It should be reminded that there is no completely unified application deadline for universities in mainland China and Hongkong. Different universities and majors may be different, and some even ended in 65438+February of the last year. Must go to official website to confirm.

On the Choice of Schools for Studying in Hong Kong

I don't know your professional background, GPA and scientific research experience, so the above answer may not answer your doubts very accurately.
