Contact person for language course application

[Irondave]

hey I'm looking to apply independently to some unis in China(Tsinghua, Fudan, Jiatong) for the 1 year language course starting in sep 2009 and on all the application forms they ask for a contact person China. Problem is I don't have one. Will the universities reject my application if I dont put down a contact in China?

Has anyone here applied and been successful without stating a contact person in China?

cheers

You could probably get away with just putting a fake one down. I'm currently studying at Jiaotong University, and they didn't check on my contact person.

You should probably not leave it blank. My experience was that the first time I went to china I wrote someone in Australia, which was accepted. The second and third semesters I filled in the form at the uni I was applying for and they insisted I write something in the box so I just wrote friends' names. For the third one I just wrote someone's name (who had actually already left china), "北京市北京语言大学" as the address and a made-up phone number and that was fine, so I don't think they're all that picky, as long as there is something written on the form that they can enter into their computer, or whatever they do with it.
