Xi 'an University of Finance and Economics and other two universities are generally not discriminated against when they apply for 2 1 1 and 985 graduate students. The theoretical economics of Northwest University is relatively strong (10 in China), but the economics of Yingzhou University is not too strong, not much stronger than Xi 'an Finance College, and far worse than Xi 'an Jiaotong University (1 1 in China). If it is difficult to apply for Xi Jiaotong University, it is recommended to apply for Liaoning University. Liaoning University is much better than Northwest University in the field of applied economics (the first in China 19), so the test is definitely not that difficult. The above is for reference only.
