Are all these due dates in November?

Also, since they don't have OCR for Asia pacific offices, is the only way to interview by filling out apps online?

Also, just to note for other applications, there is only ONE test for HSBC hk. I haven't submitted all of my applications yet, so I'm going to wait and see before posting further. Also, would it be worth it to add CICC to the list? Their application is online as well.

Nowadays, oral fluency is essentially a must, and reading is prolly more important than writing. You won't be drafting memos in Chinese - however, you will need to proofread what the translation team gives you, and you will need to be able to read reports, 10ks. in Chinese.

if BBs don't do OCR at your school (in the U.S.) for HK positions, do you just have to apply online?

do they read online apps, or is it a blackhole just like applying online in the U.S.? Any insight would be appreciated; i'm fluent in Chinese and definitely interested in HK, but am not really sure how to apply.

Apply online, it helps if you're from a target, but with that said, with the right background you'll still get an interview.

You get emailed if you're selected for interview.

not to be a dick, but i think you're wasting your time trying to figure out when the deadline is--it really can't hurt to just submit the application now. plus, as i understand it, the earlier you submit the better anyways. an application submitted 5 minutes before the deadline is going to look worse than one submitted 5 days before the deadline. just something to think about.
