1. I am preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination next semester, and my academic performance is second, but I have no scientific research results. I can try to publish a paper, but don't spend too much time on it. I should concentrate on preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination.

2. Admission to the postgraduate entrance examination mainly depends on the results of the initial test and retest, and has nothing to do with whether or not to publish a paper.

3. The publication of undergraduate thesis may be useful for insurance research, because some undergraduate schools will get extra points when determining the qualification of exemption students, but the second place in the major is of little significance. Of course, the publication of the paper may leave a good impression on the interview tutor and improve the interview results, but it is of little significance to the postgraduate entrance examination.
