ABSTRACT: Based on TOPSIS method, this paper constructs a multi-index decision model to assist college admissions officers to evaluate applicants comprehensively, aiming to provide scientific and objective admission evaluation tools for overseas college admissions officers. By collecting quantitative data of 4 applicants in four dimensions: standardized score, activity experience, personality traits and school attended, an evaluation matrix was constructed, and their relative proximity was calculated and sorted. The results show that TOPSIS can effectively integrate subjective and objective factors and improve the rationality and fairness of admission decision. The final admission priority is: X > W > H > L. The universal conclusion of this study can provide quantitative assistance for college enrollment and reduce the workload of admissions officers.
