1. The number of postgraduate places is limited: the number of postgraduate places is determined according to the allocation of places in schools and colleges. This year, the number of places for postgraduate entrance examination is limited, and there are many with grade points above 3.34. Therefore, Yanshan University will give priority to students with outstanding performance in other fields, rather than just determining the qualification for postgraduate entrance examination.

2. Fierce competition: Even if the GPA reaches 3.34, but other competitors have higher GPA or better academic performance, then these competitors will be given priority in the number of research places.
