問：你好！本人正考慮明年到加拿大升讀大學，目標是西門菲莎，剛巧看見閣下有關此大學之文章，希望能解答本人疑問。本人現就讀副學士year 2，主修advertising and creative media，year 1 cgpa3.37， year 2 目標 gpa3.5。另 A-level 中英DD, 2AL:EF，1AS: C (2013重考)。IELTS 7.0。 想請教副學士畢業後到加國是否能插入year3? 以以上成績投考西門菲莎 School of Communication/ School of Contemporary Arts 之 program year 2 or 3 有多少機會？或閣下有否其他適合本人成績、在藝術/設計/媒體傳播方面名氣不錯之Vancouver大學可推介？ 十分感謝！

答：入讀Year2還是Year3在乎取錄你的院校豁免你多少學分。你在修讀副學士期間，有些科目會跟大學的科目重疊，只要大學認可就可以不用重新修讀。你可以細閱即將報讀的學科的課程，對比一下副學士的課程就會大概有一個概念。當然，最終還是取決於院校的決定。溫哥華只有兩所大學，英屬哥倫比亞大學比西門菲莎更難考入，因此西門莎菲是一個相對較有把握的選擇。

問：I've been reading your articles in the headline for several months and find that they are very informative. My daughter is now studying F6 in a local school. We are looking for possible opportunities for her to study abroad in case she cannot get into her desired programmes in hk universities next year. She wants to study medicine as her first degree, but competition is keen in hk. According to your suggestion, university of edinburgh and university of glasgow are good universities which will also admit hk students with dse results. But may I ask if they need potential students to fly to uk for interviews ? I understand that Oxford requires students to do so, but Cambridge has ａｌ ｔｅｒnative arrangements to allow students not to fly to uk. Moreover graduates from overseas medical schools have to sit for the licensing examination in hk in order to be able to practise here. Did their graduates get through the examination with a reasonable passing rate ? My daughter should be able to get more than 5 for the elective subjects, but competition is also keen in uk and they have quotas for international students. Could you advise us with names of other universities which also provide good medical education while admission is likely to be offered to hk dse students ? Thank you very much for your attention and assistance.

答：英國大部份院校包括牛津均為會學生提供電話或視像面試。香港醫務委員會執業資格試的合格率合理與否在此不多作評價。以下客觀資料可供參考：香港醫務委員會執業資格試共有三部分，本港每年大概有10-15人通過各部分考試取得執業資格，整體合格率大約有半成至一成左右。事實上這個考試不容易通過，須具備充份的知識和準備外，同時亦測試考生的態度。Edinbugh收生要求較高，除了Glasgow，Southampton、Leeds和Bristol都是相對容易而又不俗的選擇。
