Abstract
The current international student recruitment system in China is fraught with challenges such as an incomplete standardized examination framework and an inadequate performance-based assessment system, which fail to holistically evaluate students’ true capabilities and potential for growth. By examining the successful experiences of the U.S. admissions system, particularly the shifts in Stanford University’s admission policies before and after the pandemic, this study explores the implications of these experiences for the reform of China’s international student recruitment system. It is suggested that future reforms in China should focus on establishing unified and transparent admission criteria, strengthening performance-based assessments, and improving the preparatory education system to enhance the global competitiveness of Chinese higher education institutions, attract more outstanding international students, and promote the internationalization of higher education.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
