Get rid of Xiamen University first. As you said, compared with foreign trade and Nankai, it is still a little lower.

Then compared with university of international business and economics, the main disadvantage of Nankai lies in Tianjin's geographical location, which is too far from Beijing. The disadvantage of foreign trade and economic cooperation is 985.

But I have personally contacted some overseas universities, such as Warwick, and they are also very smart. They have a ranked list of domestic universities. Generally speaking, their enrollment priorities are Tsinghua, Peking University and China University of Science and Technology. The second level is the remaining 985 universities and industry-leading universities. Nankai belongs to the remaining 985 universities. Foreign Trade, Beijing Foreign Studies University, China University of Political Science and Law and Beijing Post are all leading universities in the industry.

Then about alumni, I don't know much about Nankai alumni, but I heard that many senior leaders in Tianjin graduated from Nankai, and they are very strong in this respect.

The alumni of ITC are mainly concentrated in four aspects:

1. Ministry of Commerce and state-owned enterprises, as well as schools of the Ministry of Commerce of the University of Trade. Previously, 27 state-owned enterprises, including COFCO, Sinochem, China Resources and CNOOC, etc. At that time, they were all managed by the Ministry of Commerce, so there were a large number of alumni of trade universities at the middle and high levels in these places, such as Mr. Yu Xubo, President of COFCO;

2. In terms of foreign companies, students from the School of Trade are very competitive in foreign companies, and Beijing is only comparable to Peking University, so there are many alumni, such as Mr. Wang Jinlong, global vice president and president of Asia Pacific region of Starbucks;

3. Financial institutions, formerly known as China Institute of Finance, are affiliated to the People's Bank of China. The Dean is Mr. Liu Hongru, Vice President of China People's Bank and founder of Tsinghua University Wudaokou Finance College. Therefore, there are also a large number of alumni in the financial field, such as Mr. Gao Xiqing, general manager of CIC;

4. China's customs system, China Customs used to be managed by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, so in those days, many graduates from trade colleges were directly assigned to China Customs. This year, the General Administration of Customs of China also gave five places to the University of Trade in Maritime Relations, which directly entered the General Administration. For example,

Mr. Liu Yansheng, Director of Special Zone Department of China Customs General Administration.
