Based on official 2026 CSCA Guidelines, applicants face a strict funnel review:
Verifies completeness. Applicant MUST submit BOTH Chinese and Mathematics scores. Missing either results in direct rejection.
If Chinese or Math is < 50, the student is routed to one of 17 Designated Prep Universities for a one-year foundation training.
If both baseline subjects ≥ 50 and electives (Phys/Chem) meet requirements, student skips prep and enters elite undergrad review!
