dear Frank,Thank you for your kind advise and warm encouragement! I have just received my Toefle result (29+28+24+22=103). It is no way 'outstanding', but I won't do it again (there is no place around my city Beijing). I would thus begin to write my essays shortly. If you look into my heart, I still long for Hong Kong. I was rejected by HKUST, PolyU, and CityU last year. In addition to that, I am also working at a PE firm in BJ, will that help??
sorry for the tedious questions, it is really a big help! Hafiz
