Dear Mike,
I’m glad to hear that you want to have further study in China in your letter. Here is what I know about what kind of foreign students are favored in Chinese colleges and universities.
As far as I know, the language ability is essential, which helps you communicate with others and makes it easier for you to understand the courses. Besides, you should have the ability to adapt quickly to the new environment. What’s more, your interest is valued as well, for it has a lot to do with success. Last but not least, those who are willing to shoulder social responsibility are respected and welcomed.
This is my advice, and I hope it can be of some help to you. May you succeed! Best wishes and good luck!
Yours,
Li Hua
