From the following analysis, I hope to help him. Please rest assured.
1. Comparison of comprehensive strength between the two universities: Dalian University of Technology is a 985 university, a double-class construction university. Zhengzhou University is a 2 1 1 university, and a class B double-class construction university. Although Zhengzhou University has developed rapidly in recent years. However, compared with Dalian University of Technology, it is not dominant, even a step lower (comprehensive, not specific majors). Dalian University of Technology ranks around 30, and Zhengzhou University should rank around 40. Dalian University of Technology is positioned as a 6-star world-class university, while Zhengzhou University is positioned as a 5-star domestic first-class university.
2. Compared with the cities where universities are located, none of them are first-tier cities, one is in Dalian and the other is in Zhengzhou. It should be a city with its own characteristics.
Compared with your major, you can't compare it because you didn't mention it. Just look at the advantages of the two schools. Judging from the first-class majors in China in Alumni Association 2020, Dalian University of Technology is also significantly more than Zhengzhou University.
In the fourth round of national discipline evaluation results, * * * 32 first-level disciplines participated in the evaluation, 7 disciplines entered Class A, 19 disciplines entered Class B (including B+, 8); Zhengzhou University is also less than Dalian University of Technology.
In addition, I want to say that in the case of geographical proximity, 985 is the first choice, followed by 2 1 1 university, because the advantages of 985 university will be gradually reflected. For example, 985 college graduates are all competitive advantages. In the future, many places have to look at the first degree, and the first degree in 985 can protect themselves. After all, he has been following you.
