shuoshuo Posted July 31, 2014 at 06:17 AM Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 at 06:17 AM Haroon.qasim - The English programs usually cost much more and sometimes even twice as much as the Chinese programs. So you will first have to convince the Chinese embassy, and then the Chinese embassy will have to convince CSC to help you change your program. If anything, you will have to appeal for it right now. Just to let you know, the embassy can flat out tell you 'no way'. Ladyferoz - My MOE has not contacted me yet. I estimate they received the documents yesterday and will look through it today. Have you tried contacting your embassy? I'm certain they have the results by now. My embassy informed me of the results at the beginning of July, so they've known about all this for a few weeks now.

grawrt Posted July 31, 2014 at 07:42 AM Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 at 07:42 AM @ Song HuThanks! I just sent them an email now. I tried calling again but no luck.Does anyone know if scholarship students have to do anything special in advance? I read at the bottom of the acceptance letter it says that students have 30 days to register or their application will be terminated. But the registration date starts at September 3-5, I'm worried that they're referring to some other thing. Perhaps put in a formal application? I only have 3 days before the 30 day limit so I hope I haven't missed it.Also, does anyone know how the placement tests are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuoshuo Posted July 31, 2014 at 08:45 AM Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 at 08:45 AM FEIFEI - In my person opinion and through my personal experience it's easy. You just need to know what steps to take to give you the best chance of getting the scholarship. Right now the universities will tell you that it's too early to apply so if you want to enrol for the next academic year (Sept. 2015) you will have remember to do things at the right time and before the deadline period. Of the schools you mentioned, pick the one you REALLY want and focus on that. I will try to explain (if necessary) soon. grawrt - The placement tests will depend on the school and how the teachers want to set it up. So this will vary. For those who have never done Chinese language before, they don't have to do the test. For those who want to be placed in the highest class possible, they can take the test and then ask to be changed later if they decide the level is too high or too low. Nothing to be taken too seriously because it's quite flexible for most universities. The last placement test I had, there was a spoken and written exam. For the written test, it was actually beginner level, e.g. what time is it on the clocks, answer in writing (Chinese characters), write numbers, assemble the characters in a sentence correctly, etc. For the spoken test, a teacher asked us simple questions such as self-intro, what do you like about China, is learning Mandarin hard, and then she actually asked which class we would like to be placed in and why, etc. So at this point, those who were unable to converse in Mandarin might consider being placed at the beginner class. But like I said, it varies from school to school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members FEIFEI Posted July 31, 2014 at 09:01 AM New Members Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 at 09:01 AM @SHUOSHUO Thank you for the reply. But I've sent the scholarship form since last month (for next year 2015), so its earlier..? what if I try again in the next year. Do you think my last form (which i've sent last month) will be considered as a spam because I've sent something before the deadline? or it is counted as a registration for the next year. I am afraid they will take no respond to my next form (which I am going to send again on 2015 ) . Because it seems like I send twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scooby Posted July 31, 2014 at 10:48 AM Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 at 10:48 AM Hey guys, just wondering, are there other people in Europe who got selected by Bilateral program but haven't still received any answer from an embassy?

New Members Tom89 Posted July 31, 2014 at 10:51 AM New Members Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 at 10:51 AM Hey everyone. I got accepted into a Beijing university but they have given me the scholarship to study LLM taught in English. I do not want to study in English so I requested a change to the Chinese taught major. The university said I could change and they could add an additional 1 year language training to the scholarship. The vibe I got from the email was that she was discouraging the change. I will be making the change as I would rather fail doing something I want rather than settling and succeeding at something I do not want. Is acquiring HSK 5 in a year and completing LLM in Chinese too much? My Chinese language at this stage is likely to be around HSK 3. Please give me some insight Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anschrei Posted July 31, 2014 at 11:04 AM Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 at 11:04 AM Scooby I'm from Belgium and I directly contacted the embassy. The embassy already knows if you are admitted or not and in which university. So call them The woman said that I'm admited but the person sending documents is in vacation....untill August 8th....... -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scooby Posted July 31, 2014 at 02:24 PM Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 at 02:24 PM anschrei, bonjour, I lived in Brussels last summer and ate too many waffles. about the embassy...of course, I know that. However, I have the feeling that they don't know. Already tried to contact the embassy via e-mails, no replies so far. Well, called too but they don't know either. And the same problem, the person in charge is going on vacation in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shuoshuo Posted August 1, 2014 at 12:25 PM Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 at 12:25 PM FEIFEI - Not sure, but it might just be ignored because applications for 2015 have not opened yet (they are still sorting out candidates for 2014!). Please do the first thing you should do, first: get a pre-admissions notice from the university that you REALLY want to go to. You need to put this university as your first choice. You can include more than one pre-admissions notice from different universities but if you want to go to a university, that has to be your first choice. The pre-admissions notice should be a document that includes a red stamp/seal from the school. That said, perhaps you can join the thread for this forum when the admins create a new thread for 2015 applications. I'm sure at the moment they would want us to keep the topic to 2014 applicants. Ladyferoz - Any update from your side? Is anyone still waiting for their results (bilateral)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyferoz Posted August 1, 2014 at 12:36 PM Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 at 12:36 PM @shuoshuo I called the MoE (applied through them) because you can't call the embassy unless it is visa related, yesterday and they said that they were still waiting for the list from the chinese embassy, it "would be between yesterday and today", I tried calling them today and no answer.,, the lady told me that they will call us whether you are successful or not, so I assume they have not gotten the list yet and it is 3pm. It is frustrating because I don't even know if I am accepted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyferoz Posted August 1, 2014 at 01:00 PM Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 at 01:00 PM @shuoshuo got through to them, they have not received a list, so they said hopefully by Monday they will call. So the earliest I can find out is the 4th August, and that is not guaranteed , so somewhere next week I will find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuoshuo Posted August 1, 2014 at 01:19 PM Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 at 01:19 PM Okay, will keep my fingers crossed and hope you receive some positive news on Monday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Song Hu Posted August 1, 2014 at 02:55 PM Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 at 02:55 PM @ ladyferoz All the best and gooooooood luck!! @ grawrt No problem at all! My pleasure to help! About the 30 days thing that you mention, I think you must be referring to the residence permit. Indeed, we need to convert our visa into a residence permit within 30 days upon arrival in China. My admission notice at the bottom of the page, where "notes" are listed, mentions that thing. Apart from obtaining a visa and your air tickets, I think you also have to prepare 10 photos of the same size as that on your passport, get some things that are valuable for you to have in China and make sure to bring all the documents needed for your registration, e.g. original admission notice, original JW201, original Foreigner Physical Examination Form, original blood tests etc. Hope this helped you!
