Every world university ranking has a certain tendency, and they are just one of the reference factors for everyone when choosing a school, not the only one.

When choosing a school, we must choose the most matching school based on our background. We must comprehensively consider our soft and hard skills, match the admission thresholds of colleges and universities in different gradients, and lock in the choices that are most suitable for you.

You can also directly find seniors who graduated from the same school, inquire about the general situation of the school, and make a general judgment on your competitiveness.

At the same time, when choosing a school, you should also consider geographical location, learning and practice. Never underestimate the geographical location of the school, after all, this is closely related to factors such as employment opportunities, safety index, and living standards.

Finally, I wish everyone can enter their ideal university.
