Qiao knows which stage you are at
Choosing a university, packing or about to land: the app puts first what matters at your stage.
Scholarship chances
Where can you get in on a scholarship? Six questions, then universities in three groups (strong, possible and hard), each with its scholarships and deadline.
An estimate from published requirements, not a guarantee.
Your cohort
How many students are going to your university, who lands on your dates and who is looking for a roommate.
Contacts are swapped only when both of you agree.
Meet
A student of your university meets you in the arrivals hall and sees you through your first three days.
Your parents can pay for it on the website.
Three days with someone who knows the way
Meet runs at universities where Qiao already has helpers. It is paid on the website, and a parent can pay from their own phone.

Before you ask
More answers are on the FAQ page, and support is a message away.
Is Qiao free?
Yes. The checklist and deadlines, SOS, the “Show in Chinese” cards, the China guide, your cohort and your scholarship chances are free, and the AI helper has a free daily allowance of questions. You pay only for Meet (a person at the airport, paid on the website) and for optional extras in the app, such as Qiao Pass: unlimited AI questions and photos, offline maps, every app icon and up to 3 study plan reviews a month.
How does Qiao estimate my scholarship chances?
It compares your answers (level, field, grades, language test and budget) with the published requirements of university programmes and sorts the universities into strong, possible and hard. It is an estimate, not a guarantee. The test works on this website, without an account.
Does the photo of my admission letter leave my phone?
Yes, once Qiao recognises it as an admission letter or a JW202. Qiao reads it on your phone, and only the recognised text goes to our server, which fills in your university, programme and dates from it and does not keep it. The photo itself is then saved, encrypted, in your Documents; if you joined with an agency's code, the agency sees it like your other documents.
Who can see me in my cohort?
The numbers are public, with no names attached. Your first name and travel details are shown only if you agree to be listed, and only to students who have scanned their admission letter and are listed too. If you are under 18, you see only the numbers and are never listed yourself. Telegram or WeChat is shared only when both of you accept an introduction.
Who meets me at the airport, and can my parents pay?
A student of your university whom Qiao has checked: we verify their student ID and interview them. They meet you in the arrivals hall and confirm it is them with your 4-digit meeting code. Your parents can pay on the website with a link from the app and then follow your arrival on their own page.
