Your application package is your academic identity — a strong, organized, and professional set of documents can greatly boost your chances of acceptance. Make your CV, motivation letter, and recommendations shine
Your application package is your academic identity — it tells the university who you are, what you've done, and why you deserve to be accepted. A professional package can open doors for you, while a weak one may close opportunities you truly deserve.
Here’s how to build a strong one step by step.
1) CV — Short, clear, professional
Keep it within one to two pages, focusing on:
Education
Experience
Research/Projects
Skills & Languages
Achievements
Prioritize quality over quantity.
2) Motivation Letter
This is where your voice is heard. Explain:
Why China?
Why this university and major?
Show passion + a real-life purpose.
Be genuine, confident, future-focused.
3) Research Proposal (for Masters/PhD)
Structure it clearly:
Title
Problem Statement
Research Purpose
Methodology
References
A well-organized proposal makes you stand out.
4) Recommendation Letters
Choose professors who know your work.
Strong recommendation letters reflect your discipline, ability, and potential.
5) File Organization & Naming
Neat files reflect a neat mind.
YourName_CV.pdf

YourName_Recommendation1.pdf
Simple — clear — professional.
