The entrance examination for overseas Chinese students is an important enrollment policy, but the number of applicants is relatively small. This paper will deeply analyze the reasons for the small number of overseas Chinese students in the joint entrance examination from three aspects: policy threshold, fierce competition and diversified choices.

High strategy threshold

The entrance examination for overseas Chinese students is strictly limited to China people, their children and their descendants, and other requirements such as family income and academic performance must also be met. These restrictions directly affect the number of applicants.

cut-throat competition

Although the enrollment quota of the entrance examination for overseas Chinese students is not small, the competition is extremely fierce because of the relatively small number of applicants. Many candidates will take this into account when considering registration, and choose to apply for other schools or exams instead.

Diversification of choice

At present, many universities in China have opened application channels for international students, and some universities have also provided special enrollment policies for international students. This gives non-Chinese students more choices, resulting in a relatively small number of overseas Chinese students applying for the joint entrance examination.
