In this ever-changing world, each of us is striving to pursue our dreams and find personal progress and breakthroughs.
But the reality is always much more complicated than imagined, especially in a fast-growing and highly competitive social environment like China, where challenges and opportunities coexist.
Similarly, our higher education system, especially the well-known 985 Project universities, faces a similar situation.
When it comes to 985 Project University, this is a hot topic. From its announcement on May 4, 1998 to its official launch in 1999, the program has gone through more than 20 years.
But you know what?Out of nearly 4,000 colleges and universities in the country, only 39 schools were selected as 985 universities.
These schools are like gems of education, a dream for many students and parents.
But the bar is frighteningly high for these top universities. You think, there are only such a small number of places in the country, and the competition is naturally fierce.
Especially in those provinces with large college entrance examinations, the score line often exceeds 600 points, and sometimes even higher, in order to hope to squeeze into the door of these prestigious schools.
Let's talk about the stories of these 985 universities. First of all, it is worth mentioning that many of them are established institutions with a long history.
Peking University, for example, was founded in 1898 and has a history of more than 120 years.
Wuhan University, Tianjin University, and Huazhong University of Science and Technology are also old schools that existed at the end of the 19th century.
Although Tsinghua University and Harbin Institute of Technology are later, they also have more than 100 years of educational heritage.
However, as time passed, everything changed. Even these famous 985 universities have gradually lost their original luster. Today, let's talk about three of them.
First of allNortheastern University. This is a school with an important influence in the three northeastern provinces, located in Shenyang, Liaoning Province.
You see, the name of Northeastern University is domineering, but in recent years, its position among the 985 universities seems to be a little awkward.
In particular, compared with Dalian University of Technology, the geographical location of Northeastern University is slightly inferior.
Dalian Institute of Technology is not only located in Dalian City, Liaoning Province, a place with rapid economic and educational development, but also a leader among science and engineering universities in the country, so it is naturally more favored.
Let's talk about it**University of Nationalities, referred to as ** National University. Located in Beijing, this school is one of the top ethnic universities in the country.
Although the history is not so long, it was founded in 1941, but it is strategically located and attractive.
It's just that the strength of ** National University is mostly in ethnology and liberal arts, which is not in tune with the current situation that there are many science students among our college entrance examination candidates, so although it is famous, its ability to attract high-scoring science students is a little weak.
Finally, let's talkLanzhou University. Landa is the only 985 university in Gansu Province, which has been around since 1909 and has a long history.
But did you know that although this place in Lanzhou is good, it is a bit remote after all. This has directly led to the loss of talent in Lanta, and now its ranking in 985 is not as good as before.
At the end of the day, the ups and downs of these schools are like a microcosm of each of us pursuing our dreams.
Whether it is an individual or a school, we must constantly adapt to changes and innovate in order to gain a firm foothold and shine in this era of rapid development.
