1. Writing a thesis is not a hard plus point requirement for postgraduate entrance examination and re-examination: the so-called hard plus point requirement means that almost no domestic universities will expressly stipulate that writing a thesis will add points for postgraduate entrance examination and re-examination, because it is not fair enough for undergraduates. After all, we should know that publishing papers is a form of proving scientific research ability, and for undergraduates, what they should do at the undergraduate stage is to learn basic theoretical knowledge well rather than master scientific research ability.
2. Having scientific research experience can help you have an advantage in the second interview: although scientific research experience is not the training purpose of undergraduates, for graduate schools and tutors, the sooner they start related scientific research projects after entering school, the faster students can get their favor. This means that if you have relevant scientific research experience, participated in scientific research projects or published papers during your undergraduate period, this will be your potential advantage.
