It is good to apply for 985, but the risk is too high, and the adjustment is likely to be embarrassing. In fact, the choice of colleges and universities depends entirely on their own future, so don't blindly follow suit. Nowadays, people who call for postgraduate entrance examination online are not as good as those who don't read 985. Most of them have never been in ordinary colleges and universities, so this is totally unbelievable.

Some teachers in ordinary colleges and universities are also very powerful and responsible. On the contrary, the tutors of some famous schools usually make students work hard in their own direction day and night because of their own topics, and lack a lot of consideration for the future development direction of students. Maybe the tutor's interest is in ancient literature and your interest is in modern literature. Would you be happy to be a graduate student if your tutor asked you to engage in some boring ancient literature all day and completely ignored your own interests? It may not be a problem to enter middle school with a naked diploma without any achievements, but it is embarrassing to continue studying for a doctorate (university teachers need a doctorate).

So, as long as you study hard, it's the same everywhere. Maybe your classmate was admitted to 985, and you were admitted to an ordinary college. In three years, you may be the best.
