woshilara Posted December 14, 2018 at 07:52 PM Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 at 07:52 PM Are there any Turkish people who are studying in China right now or planning to apply for the 2019-2020 CSC scholarship, or people who have studied in China? I have some questions I'd like to ask about the application process and interviews. By the way, I don't know where exactly I should be posting this thread, I hope it's in the right place. I'm sorry if it isn't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woshilara Posted December 17, 2018 at 03:04 PM Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 at 03:04 PM My questions are mainly about the interviewing part. Who exactly does the interview? What kind of questions do they ask? I've heard from some people that there's favouritism going on, is that true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philippo Posted December 17, 2018 at 06:32 PM Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 at 06:32 PM Hello' I cant tell but from my perspective. I didn't take any interview. I don't think the is favoritism from the chinese govt council. They literally do not know you. If its happens that there is it might be from host university. But i doubt it. Maybe some schools conduct interviews but mine didnt. Just submitted my document and waited till i was contacted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philippo Posted December 17, 2018 at 06:38 PM Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 at 06:38 PM I think csc is more about luck than how good your document or grade might seem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted December 18, 2018 at 11:12 AM Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 at 11:12 AM I don't know the situation vis-a-vis Turkish citizens, but for the past couple of years or so, foreigners with Turkish stamps in their passports have sometimes had difficulty getting Chinese visas or been questioned entering China. The problem seems to come and go, but you should at least be aware that Turkish connections are sometimes an issue for China these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabrielaVD Posted December 18, 2018 at 10:10 PM Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 at 10:10 PM Hi, I was about to comment the same as 889. Turkish people seems to have problems with getting the Chinese visa On 12/17/2018 at 8:04 AM, woshilara said: the interviewing part In my country there is no interviewing part as part of the process, but I am imagining there might be in your country because of the fragile Turkey-China relations, maybe? Anyway, good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woshilara Posted December 19, 2018 at 01:59 PM Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 at 01:59 PM @philippo On the website of Turkey's MOE, it says that the scholarship commissionary will do the interview, so yeah the favouritism won't be from the universities or from China. @889 Yeah I've heard about that. Hopefully, everything will be fine. @GabrielaVD I wish there weren't an interviewing part here either. But I guess they do interviews cause there are many people applying for it, I suppose, I don't know really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
