Application Dear sir or madam, I’m Monica, a high school student from No.1 Middle School. I am longing for an opportunity to study in your esteemed university. Briefly, multicultural setting, cultivation model and academic atmosphere are the main reasons that I apply for the University of Hong Kong. Diversified culture. Relying on uniquely favorable natural and social conditions, HKU is distinguished for internationalization, as expressed in its matriculate, teaching staff and teaching content, which contributes to broadening our horizons and firing up our curiosity about the world. All-around education. HKU advocates "Sapientia Et Virtus" and then places a great deal of importance on promoting our all-round development, which is conducive to training us to be talents with characters of morality, wisdom, health and aesthetic feeling. Academic freedom. HKU encourages us to express views freely, to question and challenge the authority, which is helpful to stimulate our passion for exploration and creation and to cultivate our sense of originality. If I had the honour to be admitted, I want to major in social sciences, such as law, psychology and economics, etc. Not merely because I have had a particular fondness for social sciences since I was a boy, but also because I am pretty good at it. Einstein once said, interest is the best teacher. To me, both interest and self-ability are important guides for my decision. In the future, after graduating from HKU, I would like to go abroad for further study.
