Still we can find a way to get you into a lower- ranked medical school but still internationally recognized if you do have D's, and that's ok too because SICAS will always find ways to help you.

If a school ranks number 6 in China, local Chinese students need at least 77% average to get into any major. You can just imagine how competitive it is to get into medicine at this university. Luckily, for the rest of us including some nationalities can just get into medical schools without hustle. A: SICAS is an official representative of these medical universities. As official representative of these universities, we want to help foreign students in application process and more importantly, to help students settle in once they arrive in China.
