The lowest admission score line for popular majors such as accounting, marketing, journalism, English, and visual communication design far exceeds the provincial control line by 80-97 points. The Group believes that the continuous improvement of admission scores not only reflects the higher level of school-running, but also provides us with the best evidence for a steady stream of high-quality students.
