How to choose schools and majors for postgraduate entrance examination?
Choosing a school for postgraduate entrance examination has always been a major event for candidates. For some excellent students, the first choice is naturally the "trump card" major of top universities, but for most of the remaining candidates, it is really a tangled problem to choose which graduate school to take.

If you choose properly, even if your grades are not ideal, you will still have a chance to enter the dream hall, but if you choose improperly, you will miss out on the ideal college. Candidates must be careful when choosing a school. The following is the content of the postgraduate school selection compiled by Xiaobian for everyone, hoping to help you.

First, let's hear what you say about the postgraduate entrance examination.

1, the postgraduate entrance examination made me make up for the regret of the college entrance examination.

"One's deceased father grind, is the second college entrance examination. I have wanted to go to the National People's Congress since high school. I failed in the college entrance examination. You can only read two ordinary books in the province. In order to be admitted to the graduate school of the National People's Congress, I have been studying hard for four years. " Li Tongxue

2. The actual employment problem

"After investing in my resume for two months, I decided to take an examination of a famous graduate student. This society is too realistic. If students from 985,211apply, they will definitely not want graduates from ordinary colleges like me. Postgraduate entrance examination is really a helpless choice. " -Zhang

3. Conformity psychology

"Everyone in the dormitory is taking part in the postgraduate entrance examination and has chosen a good school. The worst is 2 1 1. If I only take one general college, I will look inferior. I feel very humiliated and inferior. I am embarrassed to review with them, there is pressure. " -Zheng classmate

4. The title of a prestigious school is more valuable.

"Several students in our class even gave up school research, just to be admitted to a prestigious school in Beijing. I was infected by them, too I feel that it is meaningless to take the postgraduate entrance examination without taking the prestigious school, and reading is not of great value. " -Yang

Second, about prestigious schools.

1, advantages of prestigious schools

First of all, the excellent software and hardware conditions of famous schools, teachers, scientific research conditions, employment prospects and other factors have attracted a large number of students to apply for the exam. Secondly, the expansion of graduate students in colleges and universities leads to the decline of employment competitiveness of ordinary graduate students. Coupled with various reasons such as the priority recognition of prestigious schools by the society, many college students now have a strong "prestigious complex" for postgraduate entrance examination, and postgraduate entrance examination by prestigious schools has even become a "potential" trend. As a result, the postgraduate entrance examination presents the phenomenon of "getting together" to test famous schools. And at present, although the popularity of postgraduate entrance examination has declined in recent years, this "famous school fever" is still continuing.

Famous schools have good educational resources.

No matter in software or hardware, the resources of famous schools are beyond the reach of some ordinary universities. For example, Tsinghua, Peking University and National People's Congress hold an academic lecture every two or three days, and at most, there is more than one lecture a day. In addition, prestigious schools will provide students with more opportunities for academic exchanges and scientific research practice, which is relatively rare in ordinary colleges and universities.

The academic resources and network resources of famous schools are incomparable to those of ordinary universities.

Many people think that if you study in a prestigious school and learn from the academic "Daniel" tutor, then your future academic research and even your work after graduation may be smooth sailing. Even if you are looking for a job yourself, you can choose a higher development platform. For example, when some famous enterprises recruit talents, they will clearly propose to recruit only 985 and 2 1 1 college graduates, so you can easily cross this hurdle.

2. Famous schools may not be perfect.

Famous schools also have weak disciplines.

Not all the majors in famous universities are the best. In some well-known comprehensive universities, with the development of the school and the expansion of enrollment scale, some non-traditional and non-strong majors have been added. These newly added majors are not necessarily better than ordinary colleges and universities in terms of teachers and curriculum. Some majors in many colleges and universities are dominant disciplines and occupy a high position in this field.

Famous schools also have the pressure of employment competition.

Employment should be students' greatest concern, and the employment rate of famous schools is not 100%. Well-known enterprises pay more attention to students' comprehensive quality, although recruitment barriers have been set up in 985, 2 1 1 colleges. In fact, not every graduate from a famous college has enough knowledge reserves and strong ability to solve practical problems, so students' own ability is also very important.

Famous schools are not suitable for everyone.

Candidates must objectively analyze their strengths and weaknesses, rationally judge their learning ability and discover their hobbies before choosing majors and colleges. Don't overestimate yourself unrealistically, and don't blindly "chase after the heat" because of coveting the "glory" brought by famous schools. A comprehensive understanding of prestigious schools and an objective evaluation of themselves will lead students to find that improving their inner gold content is much higher than the aura given by prestigious schools!

Three, must pay attention to the six data

1, sign up

This information is generally explained in the professional catalogue published by the admissions colleges. Generally, it points out how many people each major recruits, and some majors only show how many people this department recruits this year. For the latter, students must find out the specific enrollment situation of your major when applying for the exam. There are many places to enroll students, and of course there is great hope of success. Otherwise, it is very dangerous. Especially for popular majors, if you don't know the specific enrollment number, it is likely that you have been doomed to failure from the moment you sign up. Also note, to be on the safe side, students should not only look at this year's data, but also look at last year's data. Because some colleges and universities have certain majors, the enrollment situation changes greatly every year. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify this point.

2. Number of applicants

From this key information, we can see how many competitors you have. This is very important for the choice of application. Of course, this data can only be seen in previous years, but it is enough for us to roughly judge the application situation in that year. Some universities, especially famous schools, have a large number of applicants for popular majors, and some have exceeded 1000 for several years. If you don't have enough strength and perseverance, I suggest you don't choose such a major.

3. Number of students admitted

This data is also very important. Through this, we can know how many students this major enrolled last year, and combined with the enrollment quota published in the professional catalogue last year, we can judge the enrollment situation of this major last year. It should be noted that some colleges and universities actually admit more students than a single major. This is because the quality of students in this major was very good, so the school appropriately expanded its enrollment. What's more, the final number of students admitted is greater than the number of applicants, because the number of applicants for this major is insufficient, and some students are transferred. This small change may be a lifesaver for some students.

4. Record ratio

The enrollment ratio of this major is divided by the number of applicants. This data directly reflects the popularity of a major. There are many famous schools whose enrollment ratio of popular majors reaches 10: 1, or even 20: 1, or even higher. For example, the School of Economics of the National People's Congress and the School of Finance and Finance, in 2009, the number of applicants for the finance major (master's degree) was 20 14, and 265 people were finally admitted, of which 143 were exempted from the examination. 989 people applied for the master's degree in finance, and finally 148 people were admitted, among which 34 people were exempted from the examination. This is the real test of the popular majors in prestigious schools. The competition is so fierce that how to deal with it without strength!

5. Number of exempted persons

This key data emphasizes the importance of this data, because many popular majors in famous schools have a large number of exemption places every year, accounting for half or more of the enrollment in that year. As a result, there are few places left for candidates to be recruited by unified recruitment, and the competition for postgraduate entrance examination is more intense. From 2065438 to 2004, 53.96% of the students admitted to the National People's Congress were exempted from taking the Master of Finance and 25.7% were exempted from taking the Master of Finance.

Students who took the postgraduate entrance examination on 20 18 must also know how many people passed the exam without a test. These data should be published on the websites of the admissions office and relevant departments. Students must find out the number of applicants in their major before applying for the exam. In particular, students who do not take an examination of non-prestigious schools should pay more attention. If there are too few reserved places for unified candidates, students can also modify the registration information before 10 ends the formal registration. Otherwise, once you apply for this fire-fighting major, the hope of success in the postgraduate entrance examination is slim.

6. Re-examination results

Generally, in April every year, after the announcement of the national line, all enrollment units begin to delimit the retest score line of our school according to the national line. Except for 34 colleges and universities that have drawn their own lines as early as March, the scores of most majors in most colleges and universities are generally national lines. Although it looks simple, it is very important that the actual scores of some majors are much higher than the national line. The minimum admission score in the last year is also much higher than the national line. For such a major, students must know the true score line in their hearts.

For the 20 18 postgraduate entrance examination, students only need to figure out the six key data listed above, and then make a comprehensive comparative analysis, and they will have a definite answer in their hearts. By studying these data, we can avoid strategic mistakes from the beginning, be more clear about our goals, and be more confident and determined to realize our dream of graduate school!

Fourth, consider from multiple angles and choose the target institution.

1, culture and resources of colleges and universities

The cultural atmosphere and academic atmosphere of a school can often affect a person's temperament and development. Just as Tsinghua is known as the world of science and engineering, and Peking University is the palace of comprehensive literature, we must combine our own professional characteristics and personal cultural accomplishment. At the same time, the resources of books, scientific research and tutors are equally important. The choice of tutor is also very important, and it is more labor-saving to find the right tutor to study. The importance of the tutor lies not in the academic itself, but in the fact that he can provide a lot of help for the candidates' academic path.

2. The choice of institutions conforms to the goal of postgraduate entrance examination.

Candidates generally have such a mentality in the postgraduate entrance examination: First, they must be admitted to a good professional school; The other is as long as you can get in. The former can be based on their own preferences and future development needs, while the latter should pay more attention to weighing options and try to increase the probability of success. Therefore, candidates should first make clear what they want and what kind of goals they want to achieve, and then make a comprehensive comparison according to the effective information provided by various enrollment units to find their ideal school.

3, in line with the actual situation of individuals

Postgraduate entrance examination is not easy, and the opportunity cost of graduate study is very high. You must choose a university that can realize your personal ambition, so that you have the motivation to prepare for the exam and the passion to study. The ideal target college should be based on the intersection of personal ability and personal ambition. Therefore, I suggest that you must do what you can and choose the target institutions for postgraduate entrance examination. To ensure that you can pass the organic exam, you can make the most ideal and rational choice according to your own conditions, combining with the objective reality of predicting schools and cities, calmly analyzing and considering all aspects comprehensively.

Step 4 transfer opportunities

Postgraduate entrance examination can be adjusted. It can be transferred between different schools in the same major, between different majors in the same school, and between colleges and majors. So for the postgraduate entrance examination, adjustment is a potential opportunity for postgraduate entrance examination. If you apply for an unpopular major in a popular college, you can get more opportunities to transfer to an unpopular college within the same major, and even have the opportunity to transfer to a popular major in an unpopular college. In addition, there are relatively few opportunities for the adjustment of popular majors in unpopular colleges.

5, scientific research institutes, you don't know the advantages.

First, compared with ordinary universities, the admission rate of scientific research institutes is higher and the admission procedures are fairer. Second, the training of scientific research institutes focuses on practice, and practical experience is easier to improve. Compared with the training mode of ordinary colleges and universities, scientific research institutes pay more attention to practical operation. Third, graduate students are well paid. Because most of the funds for training students in scientific research institutes come from the projects undertaken, students are equivalent to "work-study programs" during their postgraduate years. In addition to receiving some living allowances, tutors will also receive many additional subsidies.

6. Employment prospects

Talent employment competition in big cities such as Beishangguang is fierce, and more and more companies pay more attention to work experience. It is difficult for graduate students to find jobs directly. However, few people are interested in the developing central and western regions, and this contrast is also the main reason for the grim employment situation of graduate students. Therefore, candidates should have a correct attitude and make rational choices in employment. They can pay attention to some small and medium-sized cities, where the master's degree will be valued and there will be more opportunities and greater chances of success.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) conclusion

When choosing a target college, we advocate choosing it according to our own professional characteristics, hobbies and learning conditions, not for some external and irrational factors. Postgraduate entrance examination is not easy, and it is even harder to enter a prestigious school. In the face of such an important life choice, I suggest that you choose rationally, don't be blindly arrogant, set unrealistic goals, and don't sell yourself short and miss your ideals. The reason why youth is gorgeous is based on struggle. I wish you a clear goal and success!
