@lambilyforever thanks! i will contact them tomorrow.

 

 

@kursat you will not be asked for any penalty since this is a scholarship. it's just that the opportunity that was given to you will be canceled. although, this may be used as a basis for decision if you would wish to reapply again in the future.

 

 

@moh wait for the scholarship documents then apply for the X Visa, book your ticket, contact your University and tell them when you will be arriving (OR if you will be arriving later than the student registration period),

 

 

@wahunei you could try using Youdao or Baidu translator for basic Chinese words, then send them an email to ask for their price (if you are planning to live off-campus) also for the lodging, it actually will depend on the decision of the College of International Studies of your University. Some Uni allow their student to live off-campus. Some don't. Better ask and negotiate with the dorm manager of that Uni.

 

@antoinette you may try contacting your accepting university's international college for their process.

Yaaay.....Finally got the scholarship!

[Klang]

Got my scholarship letter from the CSC!! Now just waiting for the university particulars from my embassy/MoE. I am anxious to find out which University I have been admitted to. I hope it's one of my three choices. I did not apply directly to these universities however.

Hi Kevin_627 I also got the CSC full scholarship to study public policy at Peking University. Do you know how the university will arrange the housing / lodging for us?

 

Anyone else going to PKU as well?

Email from mr duncun.the oas have not released the results as yet thats what i was told

"The official results have not yet been published because we are now awaiting final results and possibly a second round of selected students from the China Scholarship Council.

 

It means that the China Scholarship Council may offer more scholarships than what was initially allocated. Hence, this means that the pre-selected candidates still have a chance of being selected in the second round, which we hope to have more information on soon from CSC.

1) What is your native country? United States

2) Where did you apply? Chinese Embassy in Washington D.C.

3) When did you apply? 30 March (barely got it in in time)

4) When was the deadline? 30 March 

5) Have you applied for the scholarship before? Yes and won 1-year language last year

6) What program did you apply for? Chinese Language

7) What schools did you put for your preferences? Xiamen University

8 ) Did you apply for your school of choice beforehand? I submitted my entire application to XMU's admission department as well as sent it into the US Embassy in DC

9) What agency number did you use? The one for Xiamen University

10) Where did you get your physical done? Family Physician

11) Did you get your documents notarized? Nope, second year in a row with no notarization

12) Were you accepted for the scholarship, if you were not then why? Yes!!

13) Did you receive any university admission letters (prior to receiving a scholarship)? No

14) How were you notified? The Chinese Embassy in DC sent an email asking for my mailing address

15) When were you accepted/rejected? July 27th

16) What school and program were you accepted to? Xiamen University 1-Year Chinese Language Program (2nd year)

17) Laihua status? Forgot my password. Haven't checked it since I submitted the online application. Previous year results seem to show that this status is completely irrelevant to success or failure.

 

I was notified less than two weeks after submitting my application with a Candidacy award. I can't say what really changed this year. Last summer I was on a wait list and barely got awarded the scholarship. This year, I applied even later past the deadline but did use the XMU agency number, had a letter of rec from an XMU faculty, and submitted an additional copy to XMU admissions.

 

Congrats to everyone who was successful this year! If it's your first time traveling to China, you're in for quite a ride! Best of luck!

For those who applied through the US embassy: I called the embassy today and was told the packages were sent out on Friday, so for those who are still waiting they should be arriving soon!

[Spinel]

Hello does anybody get into SHIFT/ SUIBE Shanghai University of International Business? or also known as Shanghai Institute of Foreign Trade?

 

It would be nice to get in touch if someone is also going there!

[lambilyforever]

So I just came back from the Consulate to process my Chinese VISA application. they want me back tomorrow for an interview. Is this normal (that they request for an interview)? Anyone familiar about this. 

 

Is there any chance that scholarship winners may not be granted a VISA? 

 

Thanks. 

[Yussuf Amour]

@lambilyforever:

I have never heard about interview. I have friends of mine studying in Shandong and one at Beijing, they got CSC in AY 2014/15, No interview held.

But why do they have to interview you while you have already got the Scholarship?

They were supposed to interview applicants after submission of their materials.

Anyway, wish you all the best

[katecheng]

I am Ukrainian and from other people applying for student visa I heard that sometimes consul asks a couple of simple questions. They assured me there's nothing to worry about.

Good luck!

[Yussuf Amour]

thank you @ katecheng

@genzaimu

 

Thank you for the update, I'm getting nervous as I'm staying with a friend in DC this weekend to get that stuff in for Visa on Friday to pick up on Monday/Tuesday (paying to expedite it). I was worried I wouldn't have my packet in time.. I leave the country Aug 15th so I don't have a lot of time!!

[stanislasdecourbel]

Hi all

 

I would like to leave the country with a physical examination form valid! Anyone knows if we "MUST" retake physical examination while reaching Chine, even if we still have a valid one?
