Tips No. 5: Try Multiple Ways At the Same Time Instead of Just One
DO NOT just try one method and then just wait for it, even you decide to apply for other universities in China, apply to multiple universities at the same time, otherwise it will be too late for you when you found the only way you tried has failed. We can help you to apply to Chinese universities, doing our best to help you, but we are not the ones to make decision to accept you and extend residence permit for you, so make sure you are trying different ways at the same time.
