I think study Chinese with real Chinese language teacher is the best way to make a rapid progress. Here I would recommend you a website http://www.exelchinese.com . They teach Chinese live online. Some of courses are for free for beginners.

I advice you take an entry level class with a teacher in a trusty school before you move on to study on your own. Confucius Institute is the authority in Chinese language like the British Council for English.

If you do already know some Chinese. You can study with this software used by several Conficius Institutes, free trial download:

You can also try BBC languages, it offers extensive resources on multiple languages.

What's impressive about this site is that it's not just basic grammar and vocab. There are slang guides, info on using the languages in the workplace, and monthly audio magazines with articles on the various countries' culture and news. They've even got a "Your Say" section, where other students share their common mistakes, learning tips, and blogs from abroad, and tips on improving at languages in general.
You should know that you'll only need to know few hundred Chinese characters to be fluent in the language (as in 50 thousand in English!) It might seem very hard to start, but you'll excel once your brain has addressed the pattern.
Good luck and have fun! :)

I will suggest you to apply through CUCAS, CUCAS is a professional online platform for international students to apply for Chinese universities, it has a strong relationship with over 300 universities in China. They do not ask for any fee, the application fee is collect by them but only on behalf of the university, CUCAS also hold social activities for international students so they will not get bored, they always try to think as a foreigner and help international students to solve their problems. Very nice.
