The number of college entrance examinations has reached new highs, and the pressure on children is as heavy as Mount Tai. In the face of the continuous "involution" of the domestic college entrance examination, planning an overseas Chinese student to participate in the "overseas Chinese student joint examination" has become an educational shortcut for many parents.
In 204, the number of applicants for the joint examination for overseas Chinese students exceeded 10,000 for the first time, reaching 10,320. Even so, compared with the number of college entrance examinations at the tens of millions level, this is really a drop in the bucket.
Recently, the Guangdong Examination Institute announced the minimum admission score for the 2024 enrollment of overseas Chinese students in mainland colleges and universities (joint entrance examination for overseas Chinese students):
1. Undergraduate batch
- General colleges (majors): 365 points in literature and history, 390 points in science and engineering (some colleges and universities implement the high score line, 465 points in literature and history, 510 points in science and engineering, and the list of colleges and universities is detailed in the national joint enrollment management system).
- Art colleges (majors): 265 points for literature and history, 290 points for science and engineering.
- Sports colleges (majors): 265 points in literature and history, 290 points in science and engineering.
2. Preparatory batch
- Preparatory colleges: 345 points in literature and history, 370 points in science and engineering (among them, Jinan University, Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine: 445 points in literature and history, 490 points in science and engineering).
In 2024, a total of 6,012 students will be enrolled, with 2,836 students enrolled in liberal arts and 3,176 enrolled in science programs. The acceptance rate is 58.3%.
Among them, 985 colleges and universities enrolled a total of 957 students, with an acceptance rate of 15.9%. You must know that the acceptance rate of 985 colleges and universities in the country in 2023 is only 1.9%.
The following will conduct a comprehensive analysis of the joint entrance examination for overseas Chinese students, hoping to make parents more clearly aware of the joint entrance examination for overseas Chinese students, so let's take a look at these sets of data first.
The number of applicants for the joint entrance examination for overseas Chinese students
Before 2022, the number of people taking the JAE has been relatively stable, around four or five thousand people every year. Since 2023, the number has climbed dramatically, with an increase of 43%. Also from 2023, the score line of the JAE will begin to rise.
This year, the number of applicants for the JAE exceeded 10,000 for the first time, an increase of 42.58% compared with 7,238 in 2023. There were 8,189 candidates from Hong Kong, 1,271 from Taiwan, 554 from Macao and 306 from overseas Chinese.
From the data on the chart, it is not difficult to find that most of the sudden increase in the number of applicants is from Hong Kong. According to the analysis of experts from Australia, Canada and the United States, the sudden increase in the number of applicants in Hong Kong in 2024 is most likely related to the tide of "going to Hong Kong to have children".
It is expected that in the next few years, the number of applicants for the joint entrance examination will increase to a certain extent, but the increase will not be too large, and parents do not need to be overly nervous. And even if the number of people rises, compared with the college entrance examination army of "thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge", it is still a heaven and an underground.
JAE admission scores and admission difficulty
Judging from the data from 2020 to 2023, the admission score line of the joint entrance examination for overseas Chinese students is about 60 points lower than that of the general college entrance examination. However, there is no comparison between the difficulty of the two papers.
After all, the college entrance examination is a selective examination for candidates from all over the country, while the joint examination for overseas Chinese students is a "policy examination" for specific groups. One is aimed at screening national talents, and the other is intended to attract more overseas Chinese students to return to the embrace of the motherland, and the original intention of the examination is different, and the means used are naturally different.
The difficulty of the joint entrance examination is low, 70% is junior high school knowledge, 30% is high school knowledge, and the difficulty is comparable to the example questions in the textbook.
The admission score of the joint entrance examination is still much friendlier than the admission score of 500/600 points in the college entrance examination. Compared with the undergraduate rate of about 10% in the college entrance examination, the undergraduate rate of 60/70% in the joint entrance examination is also very advantageous.
At present, the joint examination for overseas Chinese students has become a new education track favored by parents, providing a strong boost for admission to prestigious schools!
Taking this shortcut requires parents to plan an identity in advance. The most cost-effective option is the Greek Golden Residence Visa.
Relatively speaking, the planning time for the status of overseas Chinese students in Europe is shorter, and the requirements for applicants are low.
Under the Greek government's "Golden Visa" program, foreign investors who are at least 18 years old can obtain residency by purchasing a property in Greece for more than 250,000 euros.

The application requirements are simple, there is no proof of source of funds, language education and business background requirements, there are no residency requirements after obtaining the green card, and the immigration process in Greece is simple, the approval speed is fast, and it can be completed and approved in about 6-8 months!
Greece is a Schengen country, and Greek status allows you to travel to the other 29 Schengen countries. After becoming a Greek citizen, you can enjoy medical care, education, living and other conveniences in the EU member states, and enjoy the same treatment as local citizens.
It is recommended to get the status time: Since you need to meet the corresponding residence requirements, you also have to apply for the reservation time of the identity, so you should start planning for overseas status at least 3-4 years in advance, when the child is in junior high school.
Lock the old deal in advance, you can save 4 million!
According to the information released so far, the time node for locking in 250,000 euros to buy a house at a low price and get a Greek green card is:
Before August 31, 2024, sign the POA and pay 10% of the room payment;
Before December 31, 2024, the transfer of ownership of the property will be completed.
There are less than 80 days left until the August 31 deadline. For investors interested in Greece's "golden visa" and Greek investment and real estate, they may wish to prepare as early as possible and lock in the current non-price increase area of 250,000 euros in advance.
