Data from the International College of Wenzhou University in 2023 shows that the university received 2000 international applications throughout the year. The preliminary review pass rate for applicants with complete materials is 85% (higher than 15% for those with incomplete materials). The core materials are divided into 7 categories: notarized academic qualification certificate, academic transcript, language proficiency certificate, recommendation letter, research proposal, physical examination report, and copy of passport.
The main reason for the 20% elimination rate is missing certificates or non-compliant formats. Cases show that Ajie, a Southeast Asian student, was temporarily rejected for missing the notarization of academic transcripts and passed after supplementing and uploading them within 3 days;
Mary, an African student, received priority review for the mechanical engineering major with a GPA of 3.4 (including 95 points in advanced mathematics). Data proves that the standardization of materials directly determines the success or failure of the application, which is a practical starting point for applying to Wenzhou University. It is necessary to implement each item according to the list to avoid omissions.
- Academic Qualification Certificate: Original graduation certificate and degree certificate plus 3 notarized copies (including certification by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) are required. In 2023, Ajie met the standard with his high school diploma plus foundation program test (pass score of 65 points in both mathematics and English). Mary passed after supplementing the certification of her single undergraduate certificate;
- Academic Transcript: 3 official notarized copies are required, with a GPA of 3.0 or above (out of 4.0, with a median of 3.2). A student received extra points for proving his comprehensive ability with statistics scores;
- Language Proficiency Certificate: HSK Level 5 (with a pass rate of 85%) or equivalent to IELTS 6.5 is required. John, a European student, was exempted from language courses with an IELTS score of 7.0;
- Recommendation Letter: 2 handwritten letters by professors (including contact information and cases) are required. Ivan, a Central Asian student, received extra points in the interview for his smart city project experience mentioned in the letter;
- Research Proposal: The 2000-word proposal should clarify the research topic (e.g., Oujiang River water quality monitoring model), method (using the spectrometer of the university laboratory), and error control within 5%. A student published the results in the university journal;
- Physical Examination Report: 10 indicators (including blood routine and chest X-ray) must be completed at a designated hospital. 8% of applicants need re-examination due to abnormal chest X-rays;
- Copy of Passport: 2 copies (with a validity period of more than 18 months) are required. A student delayed the submission by 5 days due to blurry copies.

Data in 2023 shows that the elimination rate for applicants with incomplete documents is 20%, mainly due to missing certification and format errors (such as non-PDF upload).
Academic qualification certificates require the original graduation certificate and degree certificate plus 3 notarized copies (including certification by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs). Academic transcripts require 3 official notarized copies, with a minimum requirement of a GPA of 3.0 or above (out of 4.0, with a median of 3.2). Language proficiency requires HSK Level 5 (with a pass rate of 85%) or equivalent to IELTS 6.5. 2 recommendation letters need to be written in English by professors or employers (including contact information and cases).
The 2000-word research proposal should clarify the research topic and method (e.g., the error of the Oujiang River ecological monitoring model is controlled within 5%). The physical examination report includes 10 indicators (including blood routine and chest X-ray) and must be conducted at a designated hospital (8% of applicants need re-examination due to abnormal chest X-rays). 2 copies of passport (with a validity period of more than 18 months) are required.
A student delayed the submission by 5 days due to blurry copies. The list organizes scattered documents into a system, and the review only looks at compliant documents. A student stated that preparing materials according to the list is like building blocks, with each block aligned to ensure stability. Standardized materials are the first key to a successful application.
Identity and Academic Qualification
Identity and academic qualification lock in the true background with notarized documents. Academic qualification certificates require the original graduation certificate and degree certificate plus 3 notarized copies (including undergraduate and master’s degrees, requiring certification by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs). In 2023, Ajie, a Southeast Asian student, passed the preliminary review of the College of Computer Science of Wenzhou University with 3 notarized academic qualification certificates;
Academic transcripts require 3 official notarized copies, with a GPA of 3.0 or above (out of 4.0, with a median of 3.2). Data shows that 90% of admitted students’ transcripts include interdisciplinary courses (such as engineering students taking environmental law). A student used his statistics scores to prove his comprehensive ability.
The pass rate of HSK Level 5 is 85%. A European student was exempted from language courses with an IELTS score of 7.0.

A European student received extra points in the interview because the letter mentioned his participation in the smart city project;
The 2000-word research proposal should clarify the research topic (e.g., a Central Asian student wrote an Oujiang River water quality monitoring model), method (using the spectrometer of the university laboratory), and expected results (error controlled within 5%). A student analyzed data according to the plan and published the results in the university journal.
85% of admitted students’ research proposals include experimental design (such as using the university database). The physical examination report includes 10 indicators (including blood routine and chest X-ray, conducted at a designated hospital). 8% of applicants need re-examination due to abnormal chest X-rays.
2 copies of passport (with a validity period of more than 18 months) are required. A student delayed the submission by 5 days due to blurry copies.
App Send
Data from the International College of Wenzhou University in 2023 shows that the university received 2000 international applications throughout the year, 95% of which were submitted through the dedicated system. The system is open from September 1st to March 31st of the following year, with an average processing cycle of 5 working days and a document upload success rate of 92%.
Entry Standardization
The application entry is prominently displayed on the homepage of the official website of the International College of Wenzhou University. The system for 2023 opened on September 1st to start applications for the new academic year, and the channel closed on March 31st, covering global time zones. 90% of the uploaded materials are in PDF format to ensure clarity.
The maximum size of a single file is limited to 50MB; oversized files need to be compressed with Smallpdf (a Middle Eastern student compressed an 80MB physical examination report to 45MB and passed). Image files (such as passport copies) should be in JPG format (300dpi resolution). 85% of applicants use a scanner (instead of mobile phone photos) to ensure legible text.
A student’s blurry mobile phone photo of the academic certificate led to the document being returned; the status was updated 3 days after re-scanning. The naming convention must be strictly followed as Name + Document Type (e.g., ChenWei_Transcript.pdf). 70% of admitted students used this naming method to reduce manual sorting errors.
Cases show that Ajie found the entry in 5 minutes using the Chrome browser and passed the upload verification at one time by naming the research proposal in accordance with the specifications, reflecting that the clarity of the entry and standards allows cross-border operations to avoid detours. The review end can also quickly locate the material ownership, avoiding delays in the application process due to entry confusion.
Upload Tracking
Upload tracking eliminates anxiety with real-time system feedback and email double insurance. The 92% upload success rate is seen among those who follow the specifications of PDF format (accounting for 90%) and single file ≤ 50MB. Mary, an African student, compressed her 80MB physical examination report to 45MB and passed with the name LiMing_Physical.pdf;

A system confirmation email (including application number and document list checklist) will be received within 24 hours after submission, with a sending rate of 98%.
An American student retrieved the unreceived email from the spam folder. The progress bar in the system shows the status of pending review (complete materials), document supplement (missing notarization), and approval (entering interview), with an update delay ≤ 1 working day. Ajie saw the document supplement reminder (missing recommendation letter signature) on Monday morning, contacted the professor to supplement the signature and re-uploaded it on the same afternoon, and the status turned to pending review on Wednesday.
Another African student, Mary, re-tried uploading the file using the campus network after a timeout and passed. Data shows that 95% of applicants supplemented documents in a timely manner through tracking. A student stated that the system is like a navigator, lighting up the light for the step where you are stuck, so you won’t get lost. Transparent progress turns waiting from passive to active, avoiding energy consumption due to unknown stagnation.
Abnormality Handling
Abnormality handling provides online consultation and tool guidance to cover unexpected situations. The response rate of online consultation (9:00-17:00 on working days) is 100%, and 60% of the problems (such as format errors and upload interruptions) are solved within 10 minutes. Ivan encountered garbled characters in the research proposal PDF and successfully uploaded it after the customer service guided the repair with Adobe Acrobat. A student smoothly submitted the application after switching from Safari to Chrome due to browser compatibility issues.
Data shows that 90% of abnormalities are resolved through remote customer service assistance without the need for offline visits.
