As a "green channel" for top domestic universities, the Joint Entrance Examination for Overseas Chinese Students has become the first choice for many families planning their children's path to prestigious universities due to its advantages of lower score requirements and higher admission rates.
Six Major Advantages of the Joint Entrance Examination for Overseas Chinese Students:
1. Fewer competitors: Over 10 million candidates for the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao), compared to approximately 10,000 for the Joint Entrance Examination for Overseas Chinese Students.
2. Higher admission rate: The admission rate for 985 and 211 universities is as high as 70%.
3. Lower admission score threshold: The admission score for Tier 1 universities in the Joint Entrance Examination for Overseas Chinese Students is 300-400 points, 280 points for preparatory courses, and 200 points for arts majors.
4. Fewer examination subjects and simpler questions: The difficulty is far lower than the regular Gaokao, with 30% of the knowledge points from high school and 70% from junior high school. Liberal arts students do not take politics, and science students do not take biology.
5. Identical academic treatment: Admission to mainland institutions via the Joint Entrance Examination for Overseas Chinese Students results in the same treatment and academic qualifications upon graduation as the regular Gaokao.
6. Diverse options for further education: Students attending international schools can apply to prestigious European and American universities or participate in the Joint Entrance Examination for Overseas Chinese Students.
If you want your child to participate in the Joint Entrance Examination for Overseas Chinese Students, status planning is the key! According to policy requirements, candidates must meet the following conditions: The candidate and one of their parents must have obtained long-term or permanent residency in the country of residence and have resided there continuously for 2 years, with a cumulative stay of no less than 18 months within those two years. Among these, the candidate must have actually resided in the country of residence for no less than 18 months in the 2 years prior to registration.
If the candidate or one of their parents has not obtained long-term or permanent residency in the country of residence, but has obtained a legal residence qualification in the country of residence for 5 consecutive years or more (including 5 years), with a cumulative stay of no less than 30 months within those 5 years, and the candidate has actually resided in the country of residence for no less than 30 months in the 5 years prior to registration, they may also register for the Joint Entrance Examination for Overseas Chinese Students.
Educational planning should be done early rather than late. Parents should plan for their children in advance and achieve status conversion through immigration. Currently, the Greece property investment immigration program has become a preferred choice for parents, featuring relaxed thresholds such as no requirements for academic qualifications, language proficiency, management experience, or residency, as well as multiple advantages such as allowing three generations of the family to accompany. By investing in properties starting from 250,000 EUR, one can obtain permanent residency in the EU country of Greece in one step.
In addition, interested families can also consider the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program or the Cyprus Permanent Residency Program. Both offer multiple returns on a single investment. Not only can you quickly obtain the status of an overseas Chinese student to help your children easily enter prestigious domestic universities, but your whole family can also enjoy an international lifestyle at any time, which can be described as achieving multiple goals at once! Plan your status in advance, act early to benefit early, and give your child a chance to overtake on a curve!
