In all fairness, these "postgraduate schools" are not good universities, but they are definitely not bad universities! A school where everyone likes to take the postgraduate entrance examination may not be what a university should look like, but the style of study is absolutely excellent.
Why are these "poor university" students keen on postgraduate entrance examination? Today, I will take Qufu Normal University (the original two normal colleges are now equivalent to one college) as an example to illustrate.
Qufu Normal University, located in Qufu City, Shandong Province, the hometown of Confucius, 198 1, has become one of the six key universities in Shandong Province. Although it is not a "double-class" university or a 2 1 1 985 university, it is well-known in China and even in the world. One reason is that it is in Qufu.
How high is the entrance examination rate of Qufu Normal University? It is rumored on the Internet that there is more than 70% postgraduate entrance examination rate, which is actually not that high. According to statistics, the pass rate of Qufu Normal University's postgraduate entrance examination is about 25%, which is not as high as the legend, but it also exceeds most universities. On 20 18, there were more than 2,000 people who took the postgraduate entrance examination, and the number of successful postgraduate entrance examinations ranked among the top three universities in China.
Students of Qufu Normal University are keen on postgraduate entrance examination. Many students here actually did well in the college entrance examination, but they went to this prestigious postgraduate school because they couldn't get into the ideal university, so they set the postgraduate entrance examination goal from the freshman year. Some students did not intend to take the postgraduate entrance examination originally, but under the infection of this environment, they also chose the postgraduate entrance examination. Because they didn't take the postgraduate entrance examination, they were really bored and incompatible with other students.
So, why are students of Qufu Normal University keen on postgraduate entrance examination?
First, Shandong has high quality students, few good universities and fierce competition.
Students who have been to college should all know that "Shandong learns to bully more". Why do Shandong learn more tyrants? An objective reason is that there are too many people and too few good universities in Shandong Province. There are only two semi-good universities in Shandong Province, namely Shandong University, China Ocean University and China Youshi University (East China). Although there are now Shandong University Branch and Harbin Institute of Technology Branch, the overall admission rate cannot be directly proportional to the number of candidates in Shandong, and there are not many places given to Shandong by good universities outside the province, and some of them have taken out to support the west.
Therefore, although students in Shandong work hard, there are too few people who can get into a good university in the college entrance examination. In fact, many students are excellent students in high school. If these students are in many provinces, they are at the level of 2 1 1 university or even 985 university, but they can only go to a provincial university in Shandong. Those students who have dreams can only change their fate through postgraduate entrance examination.
Second, Shandong attaches importance to education and is convinced that knowledge changes fate.
Subjectively speaking, Shandong province attaches great importance to education, and the idea of "being an official with excellent learning" still has great influence. Adults provide education for their children, hoping that their children can succeed, get into good universities, find good jobs and have a good future. In the eyes of many people, or in the eyes of mother-in-law, "good jobs" mean civil servants, teachers and establishment.
Therefore, students in Shandong Province not only have a high postgraduate entrance examination rate, but also take exams for civil servants and teachers. The popularity of free normal students in Shandong province this year can also explain the problem. In this big environment, most parents study hard for their children, and their competitiveness is naturally stronger.
Third, the "guaranteed rate" of general universities is low, and postgraduate entrance examination has become a major way.
Look at the table below. Tsinghua of Peking University has a research guarantee rate of about 50%, other 985 colleges and universities are above 20%, 2 1 1 colleges and universities are close to 20%, ordinary colleges and universities are only about 2%, and half of them are recommended to their own schools.
Through this data, you can understand why students from two universities are keen on postgraduate entrance examination, and those who laugh at the "postgraduate entrance examination base" should stop. Many people think that this should not be what a university should look like. We don't know what a university should look like, but at least it is much better than those universities where most students are playing games, skipping classes and falling in love. If there is a guarantee rate of more than 20%, who wants to brush questions in the library all the time?
Through hard work, these students have the opportunity to compete with those famous schools. This kind of effort is also worthy of respect. As Professor Zheng Qiang said: Why do you students look down on those graduate students who have been admitted to two or three universities? You are just better at the college entrance examination, while others are better at the college examination. Two or three years later, you were defeated by others and you threw dirty water at them.
At a time when recruitment is paying more and more attention to students' "academic qualifications", the academic qualifications of an ordinary university can't compete with those of 2 1 1 and 985 universities at all, so it is the goal of many postgraduate entrance examination parties to regain the academic qualifications of 2 1 1 and 985 universities through postgraduate entrance examination, and I think the same is true in Shandong, where other famous postgraduate entrance examination schools are located.
