Chinese high school students who want to enter the University of Cambridge may find that their scores on
the national college entrance examination, or gaokao, will help their applications in the future.

criteria (标准) for Chinese students for several years, according to its official Weibo account. In addition to top
scoreson gaokao, Chinese applicants also need to meet English language requirements, participate in an interview and take a subject specific written admission assessment (评估).

as part of their application process, "Chu Zhaohui, a researcher from the National Institute of Education Sciences,
told the Global Times.
