Every year during the Gaokao (National College Entrance Examination), when Tsinghua University and Peking University are mentioned, people usually only think of the top scorers from various regions and schools. However, many people do not know that by participating in the "Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students" with immigrant status, one can enter a domestic "211 University" with 200 points, and a domestic "985 University" with 400 points. By participating in the Gaokao with overseas Chinese status, the admission score for Tsinghua and Peking University can be reduced by 137 points!
First, let us take a look at the minimum admission scores for the 2017 "Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students" released by the Joint Admissions Office of Chinese Universities on June 12, 2017.
The minimum control scores for each batch of the 2017 Joint Recruitment of Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Overseas Chinese students by ordinary Chinese universities are as follows:
From this, it can be seen that the minimum control score for admission to art or sports colleges or majors in the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students is indeed only 200 points.
In fact, the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students was originally established by the state to accommodate the children of overseas Chinese to attend domestic universities, but it has now become a shortcut for some high-net-worth individuals to help their children enter prestigious universities.
Domestic candidates who want to get into key domestic universities often need to exceed the first-tier cutoff score by several dozen points. Especially in some provinces with more intense competition, they often need to be 100 points above the first-tier cutoff to have a chance to enter top domestic universities.
Relatively speaking, the questions in the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students are simpler and do not require such high scores. For five consecutive years, the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students, with a total score of 750, has had a first-tier admission score of 400 points for liberal arts and science majors, 300 points for second-tier undergraduate liberal arts and science majors, 20 points lower for preparatory courses, and 200 points for art and sports colleges (majors).
Comparing the enrollment rates of the regular Gaokao and the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students over the past five years, approximately 9.5 million students take the regular Gaokao each year, with about 2.3% being admitted to 985 and 211 prestigious universities. The number of applicants for the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students is only about 4,300 per year, with 78% being admitted to 985 and 211 universities, and 95% being admitted to second-tier A-level universities. From the data, using the status of an overseas Chinese student to participate in the joint exam is indeed a very attractive method.
In other words, students who successfully immigrate to Canada during middle school, even without becoming citizens, can participate in the domestic Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students after obtaining a Permanent Resident card, and can enter top Chinese universities with lower scores.
Currently, the Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP) for investment immigration, represented by WorldWay Group, requires only 600,000 CAD in assets (equivalent to 3 million RMB) and an investment of 150,000 CAD (equivalent to 800,000 RMB). This allows three generations of a family to quickly obtain a Canadian Permanent Resident card and Canadian status, enabling them not only to study in top-tier schools in Canada that are on par with those in the UK and US, but also to participate in the Chinese Gaokao with immigrant status and enter top Chinese universities with lower scores—achieving multiple goals at once!
