Many university presidents say that without the quota system, students from resource-poor areas such as Tibet and Xinjiang would not have any chance of getting into Peking University. The current system, they say, "lets the very best students from each province enter the best university in the country. In that sense, the system is fair." All students hope to be able to get into a good university.
不少大學校長都說，如果不定額分配，西藏、新疆等資源落後的大西部地區學生，根本沒辦法考進北大，現在的制度是「讓各省最好的學生都能進入全國最好的大學，在這個意義上是公平的。」
