As a Chinese student, I know how hard and cruel gaokao is. University admission officers are only interested in the test scores, they don’t require EC, GPA, interviews, etc. And unlike SAT, gaokao happens only once a year and students can only apply to 3 schools. They who fail must repeat their senior years (like PG) and wait for the next time.
