• Top-tier admits set multiple records: Six provinces/municipalities—Anhui, Shandong, Zhejiang, Hubei, Fujian, and Chongqing—recorded their highest-ever admission scores, and in 12 provinces/municipalities, the top admission scores met the admission standards of local Project 985 universities in the same batch.

• Overall quality improved: In Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Sichuan, the minimum admission scores reached the local standards of Project 211 universities; in other provinces/municipalities, the average scores matched those of Project 211 universities.

• Admission rankings saw significant gains: In Henan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Hubei, the minimum admission rankings improved by over 10,000 spots; in Chongqing, Anhui, and Sichuan, the improvement exceeded 15,000 spots. Recognition among out-of-Guangdong students and their families has grown substantially.
