Nguyen Gia Bao Nam (Michael Nam)
A mission-shaped application packet for CUHK.
Selective AI submission
One of Hong Kong's strongest AI-specific undergraduate routes, with a dedicated engineering degree in AI systems and technologies.
Estimated total cost to plan around before scholarship.
Tuition-covered only; no living-cost grant baked in.
Prepared for a more selective review where fit, evidence, and packet quality all matter.
The strongest forward-looking case in my current file is not abstract AI enthusiasm. It is the combination of disciplined quantitative work, practical software-building growth, and the longer-term aim to use AI in systems that remain useful, understandable, and durable.
Present a calm but ambitious file: direct AI interest, research openness, community fit, and real long-run upside if funding works.
I want my file for CUHK to read as thoughtful and school-specific, not like a generic AI statement reused everywhere.
- Verified school-record continuity and promotion to grade 11
- External competition layer: HKICO Silver, HKIMO Bronze, AMC 10 participation
- Current industry update through the 1Matrix internship
- A school-specific reason tied to the programme itself
