Ginny Ng Tsz-ying received her local university education through the Early Admissions Scheme (EAS) with six distinctions and four credits in the HKCEE in 2003.
Ms Ng is studying a five-year double-degree course in bachelor of business administration (law) and bachelor of law at the University of Hong Kong (HKU). She was awarded her first business degree with first class honours and is now continuing her law studies.
'When I learned of the EAS in Secondary Four, I worked hard on my studies to do better in the HKCEE,' said Ms Ng, a graduate of Diocesan Girls' School.
'After I joined the EAS, I could learn more from different activities, not just from textbooks. I needed to focus not only on public examinations. It is beneficial to my learning experience,' she said.
She chose to study at HKU believing it would give her wider exposure. She said she would come across different local and overseas students in the campus. 'HKU also guarantees good exchange programmes for EAS students,' she said.
She also joined the bridging programme organised by the three EAS-participating universities, HKU, the Chinese University and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. The programme professor teaches university fundamental English, mathematics and general education. Ms Ng said it allowed EAS students to meet and adapt to university life earlier.
She said Form Six EAS students should choose their subjects according to their personality.
