Zhengzhou University.
First, let's take a look at Zhengzhou University. As the only 211 project construction university in Henan Province, Zhengzhou University has attracted a large number of candidates. Its large scale not only attracts candidates from this province, but also is favored by students from surrounding provinces. Taking 2022 and 2023 as examples, there will be more than 38,100 and 31,000 candidates applying for Zhengzhou University respectively, far ahead of the country.
Soochow University. Next up is Soochow University, a 211 project university located in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, which has attracted attention for its good looks and strong comprehensive strength. The superior geographical location, strong comprehensive strength and close connection with first-tier cities all make Soochow University a popular choice for postgraduate students. In recent years, almost all of the applicants for the master's degree of Soochow University have been more than 30,000, and the competition is quite fierce.

Jinan University in Guangdong Province is also one of the most popular postgraduate entrance examinations. Jinan University is located in Guangzhou, which is not only located in a first-tier city, but also has a very high academic reputation. With the improvement of the comprehensive strength of the school, Jinan University has been recognized by more students, parents and employers, and the number of applicants has increased year by year. However, competition has become increasingly fierce due to the limited number of places available.
Shanghai University. Finally, there is Shanghai University, which may be more overlooked than other universities in Shanghai, but that makes it ideal for out-of-town candidates. As a key university in the 211 Project, Shanghai University's comprehensive strength has been improving year by year. At the same time, Shanghai, as the economic center of China, provides abundant employment and development opportunities for students. As a result, many students choose Shanghai University as their first choice for master's degree students, resulting in increasingly fierce competition for graduate school entrance examinations.
The reason why these four 211 universities are highly sought after in the postgraduate entrance examination, and even surpass some 985 universities, is mainly due to their strong comprehensive strength and superior geographical location. The perfect combination of these two factors makes these universities extremely attractive in the postgraduate market.
