Why are everyone saying that Jilin University is in bad shape?
Why everyone is saying that Jilin University is not good is as follows:
Because the geographical location is not very good, the admission scores in some southern provinces are not very high.
Although Jilin University is ranked as a 985 university, its geographical location has led to the spread of its reputation, which has at least affected the choices of many candidates in the south. For candidates from South China and some further away areas, Jilin University is too remote, and Jilin's economic development is not attractive enough to attract students to stay. For candidates from these areas, there are only a few candidates who choose Jilin University.
Although Jilin University’s academic strength is very strong, the score difference between its majors is very large. Taking the school’s admission situation in Jilin Province in 2019 as an example, the score difference between some majors even exceeds 60 points, leading to low recognition by some people.
