First, the status quo of postgraduate entrance examination With the expansion of postgraduate entrance examination, many students joined the postgraduate entrance examination army, and there were more and more candidates in World War II. The pressure of postgraduate entrance examination followed, and the proportion of fresh graduates applying for postgraduate entrance examination remained at a low level.
Second, the reasons for the low admission rate of postgraduate entrance examination (1) The atmosphere of postgraduate entrance examination is insufficient.
Some candidates are not very enthusiastic about taking the postgraduate entrance examination and have no firm objectives. Once they find a satisfactory job during the postgraduate entrance examination, they will give up the postgraduate entrance examination and turn to employment.
(2) The rejection rate is high.
Some candidates gave up the postgraduate entrance examination soon after preparing for the exam. Even some students gave up the exam before entering the examination room. The main reason for this phenomenon is the lack of understanding of the difficulty of postgraduate entrance examination. During the postgraduate entrance examination, the study life is rather monotonous and boring, and many students can't persist and give up halfway.
(3) Some students have poor professional foundation.
Some students have weak learning ability, inadequate preparation for postgraduate entrance examination, no long-term planning, and biased estimation of their own abilities. They think it is too late to take the postgraduate entrance examination, so there will be a phenomenon of "naked examination". As we all know, the postgraduate entrance examination requires both strong learning ability and a solid professional foundation.
(4) blind application.
Many students have high expectations for the postgraduate entrance examination, have misunderstandings in the choice of schools and majors, blindly pursue excellent colleges and popular majors, underestimate the competitive pressure of postgraduate entrance examination, and fail to exert their due strength.
For example, your major focuses on accounting, business administration, finance and public administration. But they are the top majors among the popular majors, and the competitive pressure is even worse than other majors. Therefore, we need to be cautious in the choice of institutions and majors.
Third, some thoughts on improving the rate of postgraduate entrance examination. (1) Subjective aspect.
1, the choice of institutions.
(1) Geography. First of all, if you have a target city, for example, you are particularly yearning for a city, such as Beijing and Shanghai. You can take the opportunity of graduate school to experience this city, and these big cities will have more opportunities in the future.
Secondly, from the perspective of employment, the recognition of schools in cities is regional, and the recognition of universities in the south is lower than that in the south. or vice versa, Dallas to the auditorium Therefore, it is suggested that the school you choose should be the city where you will work in the future.
Finally, considering family factors, if there is no target city for employment, you can choose a school close to home when you apply for the exam, so as to take care of your family in the future. Therefore, the institutions applying for the exam are either close to home or the target cities for their own employment, so don't follow suit.
(2) the reputation of the school. After choosing a major, you can check the ranking of your major in various universities. Some schools are famous, but some majors are average. On the contrary, some schools, although their comprehensive strength is not very strong, have distinctive majors and are well-known in the industry, so we should choose them carefully.
2. The choice of major should be combined with hobbies and future career development planning.
Generally speaking, the employment direction of graduate students actually depends on the research direction of graduate students, which means that the research direction of graduate students will determine your future career. Therefore, applying for your favorite major will achieve your career.
The forms of postgraduate entrance examination generally include direct examination (major) and cross-examination (non-major). If you choose the direct exam, you will be more confident, but if you choose the cross exam, it will be a great challenge and the probability of success will be greatly reduced.
If you have to choose the cross-exam, then I suggest choosing a major related to this major to apply for it, and you are interested in this major. Only in this way can you review more easily.
In the choice of majors and institutions, we must choose rationally, because the same major may be a popular major in this school and an unpopular major in other schools. We must weigh which is easier to enter school.
3. Choose a mentor.
First of all, after checking the research direction of the tutor, choose a direction that you love. If you don't know the general direction, it is suggested to consult the papers or works written by this teacher in your own research direction, which will help students understand it in depth.
After you find a mentor you are interested in, you need to contact your mentor. Teachers' contact information will generally be posted on the school website. Write a concise and beautiful resume and send it to the tutor's email, then call the tutor to leave a general impression on the teacher.
You can tell your tutor that you can use your winter vacation time to help your tutor with the project. Although the role of tutor is different between postgraduate admission and doctoral admission, the former is not as big as the latter, but it has advantages and disadvantages.
4. The review schedule is reasonable.
Adequate preparation is the key, so we must persevere. During the preparation period, you can communicate with your tutor and the seniors or seniors of the target colleges, and you can learn more about the relevant information of your major. In the whole preparation process, you must have perseverance and perseverance, and don't give up halfway.
5. With regard to the second interview, you can meet the tutor in advance and communicate with the tutor more.
Re-examination is generally divided into written examination and interview. It is very advantageous to contact the tutor in advance. The written test is generally specialized courses and English, and the examination bibliography of specialized courses is also selected from the prescribed bibliography, so we must always pay attention to the school's enrollment website.
There are many questions about oral English and professional knowledge during the interview, and most of them will ask questions about graduation design or graduation thesis, so prepare for graduation seriously.
Design and graduation thesis are also very necessary.
Pay more attention to the forums of some colleges and universities to apply for.
Learn more about the re-examination questions in the re-examination process of the school to be applied for, and whether to assess oral English.
6. Pay attention to adjustment.
Some students, after re-examination, were not admitted because of their abnormal performance, which led to the lower ranking. There are still some students who have not reached the school line, but have crossed the national line. Don't be discouraged. Your last choice is adjustment.
Some schools will have a shortage of students. After the first round of admission, these schools will post transfer information online. Candidates who meet the requirements and have not been admitted to the first voluntary school can register, and then they will send a retest notice for the second round of enrollment.
First of all, some students think that the schools that transfer students are not good. This idea is wrong, and the enrollment is not enough, which may be caused by "getting together". Students are advised not to miss the opportunity to adjust.
Secondly, the adjustment must be timely, because the time for each school to release the adjustment information is limited, and the number of people who send the re-examination notice is also limited, so it is very important to pay attention to the adjustment section on the postgraduate entrance examination website at this time.
Finally, don't blindly fill in the transfer information, be selective, because time, energy and opportunities are limited. Colleges and universities that choose to transfer must determine the school and prepare for the second interview again.
(2) objective aspects.
? 1, the perspective of the school.
Strengthen the publicity of postgraduate entrance examination and establish an incentive mechanism to give certain spiritual or material rewards to students admitted to graduate schools. For example, we can hold a school commendation meeting. In addition, you can also set up a forum for school postgraduate entrance examination, so that students who have already taken the exam and are preparing for the exam can exchange experiences together in the forum.
2. University perspective.
In addition to the exchange meeting of postgraduate entrance examination experience before graduation, we can also invite alumni who have obtained relevant majors in colleges and universities in the past, let them come back, introduce the admission situation of the school in detail, and impart some postgraduate entrance examination experience, which can help students prepare for the exam, establish a postgraduate entrance examination plan, and determine the institutions to apply for. Establish a regular communication mechanism between teachers and counselors to better understand students' situation, and Qi Xin will work together to improve students' postgraduate entrance examination rate.
There is little communication between teachers and counselors except for adjusting classes and handing out report cards. You can learn about students' situation in two ways through regular forums and give students two-way guidance during the postgraduate entrance examination.
3. From the perspective of professional teachers.
Correctly guide the teaching process, properly emphasize the knowledge of postgraduate entrance examination, and avoid instilling the concept that postgraduate entrance examination is useless in the teaching process. For students' professional problems in the process of reviewing for postgraduate entrance examination, a regular answering system can be established to help students solve problems they don't understand in time.
4, the counselor's point of view.
First of all, help students to clarify the purpose of the postgraduate entrance examination and what it is for. Generally speaking, the mentality of graduate students can be divided into three types: first, they must be admitted to a good professional school; Second, as long as you can get in; Third, because of family pressure or employment pressure, I don't want to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Students should be helped to set goals according to their actual situation.
Secondly, guide students to correctly position themselves when choosing colleges and majors. Some students have been in the middle and lower reaches of their majors, but the institutions they apply for are famous schools such as Nankai and Fudan. Because the professional foundation is not solid enough, the exam results are often not ideal.
Finally, counselors should master the situation and policies of postgraduate entrance examination, give guidance to students in the process of choosing institutions, majors and transferring, and need continuous attention and encouragement to help students establish persistent beliefs.
