If it s about job interviewing"average" is a bit irresponsible. Jinan university is the first batch of "211 university" and "985 university", which mean that it belongs to the second category for universities in China.( first category includes universities like tsinghua university清华大学 and Peking university 北京大学 )

Thanks, both those points are helpful. Appreciate the help.

Seems it's not the the top tier, but the next level down. In the US the top might be Stanford, the best Ivy Leagues, Caltech, University of Chicago, etc. - while the next level could be Cornell, Johns Hopkins, UC Berkeley, Rice, etc., all of which are very strong schools.

暨南大学is not quite the mainstream university. Half of the students there are foreigners. So according to different criteria, ranks can be very different.

It IS average. Don't get trapped by those rankings and nonsense like 985, 211 or whatever. Even in the first tier, there are many average colleges which they called "good". Shanghai Jiaotong University even put itself ahead of Tsinghua University just like a joke! Seriously, when a foreigner can go to Peking or Tsinghua with a much lower grade, I can't see the value in those so called "top" universities.

It's too complicated to judge whether a student from Jinan University is a “good” one or merely an “average”one. It would be more objective to consider the national ranking of the candidate's major rather than merely the university's overall ranking. Take myself for example, my university ranked approximately No.30, while my major, mechanical engineering, ranked No. 5. Many of my classmates are working in top manufacturing companies now, and I don't think they're less skilled than those from top universities.

Hello~I'm a Guangzhou local~~From our Guangzhou ers' usual perspective, Sun Yatsen University(中山大學) is the top in Guangdong Province and it's a comprehensive. In Guangdong Province, there are only two "985"Unis, Sun Yatsen uni(中山大學)and South China University of Technology(華南理工大學). Four "211"unis, 中山大學，華南理工大學，暨南大學，華南師範大學(South China Normal University)。(Jinan Uni is of "211" but not "985".)So, if only rank in comprehensive unis, Jinan Uni is the second best, just following the Sun Yatsen Uni. two of my high school classmates has been studying in Jinan Uni. One used to be the last of our class in high school, we may call him A. And the other was always in the top 10, called B. Why these two students could go to the same uni? Umm... Cuz A is a 僑胞(umm, I don't no how to explain it>.<, my English is poor...which means his registered permanent residence is not the mainland of China tho he is a Chinese), and B was born and has been brought up in the mainland of China. China got preferential policy for 僑胞, like in the field of college entrance. As the answer above, Jinan Uni got lots of foreign students, some of them are 僑胞, like the ABC~
As for the Finance, Jinan actually got a good reputation for its Finance,but in China it's of course not the top.
I no I got lots of mistakes in the grammar>.< Hope it may help~

This is great - thanks yuea7t630, thanks xavir linmas rafflesian and zwj!

This is really interesting. It's basically the same as conversations I have about US schools. At a certain point, I agree that it sometimes makes more sense to just focus on whether a particular program is considered very strong at a school. For example, computer science at University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign) is clearly among the most elite CS programs, even though taken as a whole the school isn't in the very top tier.

(For other reasons I ended up deciding to not hire this person, but it had nothing to do with the university. They also went to quite a good second-tier school in the US for graduate work.)
