How to use the four major lists to refer to the school selection?
When referring to the four major lists, there are the following suggestions:
. The ranking of the "four majors" has their own characteristics in the selection of indicators. QS ranking focuses on peer evaluation. ARWU tends to teachers' abilities and awards. U.S News regards papers as an important evaluation criterion, and THE is relatively average. At the same time, even different types of rankings published by the same institution will vary depending on the evaluation criteria.
. Don’t stare at a list. If the school is determined, refer to the school’s performance in multiple rankings to draw a more three-dimensional and objective conclusion. Because the same university often has different rankings in each university ranking.
. Make good use of previous years' rankings and reasonably refer to previous years' rankings can allow us to understand more clearly the development trend of the school - whether it is upward or downward, or it is slightly twists and turns but relatively stable. After all, what has the greatest impact on us is the ranking of the school after leaving school.
. Some colleges and universities that have outstanding performance and are more distinctive in a certain professional field are difficult to stand out in the comprehensive ranking. At this time, we usually need to refer to the ranking performance of the colleges and universities under categories such as "professional ranking", "satisfaction ranking", and "employment ranking".
. Combined with your own later career planning purpose. See if you want to join a company or a state agency or university in the future. Now many large enterprises will have their own recruitment reference list. Generally, large enterprises refer to the QS list more, but many units will also refer to the ARWU academic list that pays more attention to academic ability, so they should refer to the later career planning.
