The minimum admission scores for the 2018 National Joint Examination for Overseas Chinese Students have been released! The score gap between regular students and overseas Chinese students is significant, with a difference of 200 points! When I experienced the college entrance examination, I thought I had performed exceptionally well. Little did I know, others had already embarked on the path of the overseas Chinese examination, widening the gap between us…..
After research and with the approval of the Department of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education, the minimum admission scores for each batch of the 2018 National Joint Recruitment of Overseas Chinese, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan Students (hereinafter referred to as the National Joint Recruitment) are as follows:
1. Undergraduate Batch
(1) General universities (majors) in the humanities and social sciences, and science and engineering: 300 points (of which, the original first batch of undergraduate admission institutions is 400 points, the list of institutions is attached);
(2) Art universities (majors) in the humanities and social sciences, and science and engineering: 200 points;
(3) Sports universities (majors) in the humanities and social sciences, and science and engineering: 200 points.
2. Preparatory Batch
Preparatory universities in the humanities and social sciences, and science and engineering: 280 points (of which, Xiamen University, Jinan University, and Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine are 380 points).
According to statistics, this year, a total of 9.75 million candidates participated in the college entrance examination, a significant increase compared to 9.4 million last year. There are 39 985 universities and 115 211 universities in China. Last year, the admission rate for 985 universities was 1.5%, and the admission rate for 211 universities was 2.3%, with over 60% of students having no opportunity to attend an undergraduate institution.
The admission rates for various universities this year are still unknown, but it is undoubtedly going to be more competitive. However, there is a group of people who do not need to struggle for admission through the college entrance examination; they can easily gain admission to top domestic universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University with their permanent residency status in other countries — they are the candidates participating in the National Joint Examination for Overseas Chinese Students.
