'Trinity' system combines multiple metrics to find the best

A trinity system for freshmen recruitment, first adopted by the South University of Science and Technology of China, has attracted hundreds of senior high school students to independent tests across the country.

At the Shenzhen-based university alone, a total of 11,774 senior high school students were given a chance to take the independent recruitment examination on June 15, which was held simultaneously in 22 provincial regions across the country.

The trinity system combines candidates' performance in high school evaluation tests with an independent recruitment test by the university and the national college entrance exam, or gaokao.
