The most ridiculous thing about this question is the time point.
The "application and assessment" system is basically implemented for the doctoral students of Tongji University in 2020, and only a few colleges will have a preliminary examination of recruitment. Lanzhou University has not only an application assessment system, but also an ordinary doctor.
The two universities are different in submission time, examination time, initial examination time and re-examination time.
In other words, you can't be accepted by them at the same time. You will only participate in the selection and broadcast first, and finally announce the admission list. Anyone who has experienced the doctoral entrance examination has the experience.
For most doctoral students, there is no time for you to choose between two schools.
It is true that many students cast nets to sign up, but this kind of registration is at best a preliminary test to avoid being brushed off, so they reported two more insurances.
However, in the second interview stage, almost no one will do this. And everyone who has experienced it knows that the will of doctoral supervisors can be said to be the decisive factor in doctoral enrollment.
In other words, it is not your doctor who admitted you, but your doctor who admitted you as his doctor. There is an essential difference between the two.
You didn't contact the doctor? Thought it was the college entrance examination?
Admitted to these two cattle schools is indeed more capable. But Lao Wu feels more inclined to choose Lanzhou University.
Geographically, some people think that Tongji University is located in Shanghai, with obvious geographical advantages and good employment prospects. But Lao Wu doesn't think so. In the materialistic era, everything is for money, but many people are divorced from their actual situation. Like this doctoral student's ancestral home in Gansu, staying in Lanzhou is the best choice, and Lanzhou is naturally the first city in Gansu. Therefore, it is very ideal to stay in colleges or research institutes in Lanzhou after graduation from Lanzhou University. Of course, if you are in politics, you need talents in this field very much, and you are a local student and have some natural advantages. Moreover, China people's idea of settling down and returning to their original place will eventually return to their hometown.
From the perspective of scientific research environment, Lanzhou is located in the northwest and has a certain natural scientific research environment. Lanzhou University has always made great achievements in scientific research. According to statistics, since the resumption of the college entrance examination, Lanzhou University has trained 12 academicians, ranking sixth in the country, surpassing Tongji University. The number of Guo Jieqing alumni trained by undergraduate education ranks eighth in China, 9 1, which also exceeds Tongji University.
From the perspective of development prospects, Tongji University and Lanzhou University are relatively short of talents in Lanzhou, and those who can stay after graduation should be regarded as treasures. Therefore, compared with Shanghai, Lanzhou pays more attention to talents, and the western region is paid more attention by the state, and various state policies are tilted towards the western region. If you are engaged in scientific research projects in the western region, the support is relatively strong. If you go into politics, your development prospects are also very good. Look at the Shanghai area, where there are many famous schools. A doctor is like throwing a stone into the sea, without any ripples, and won't pay too much attention to you.
So on the whole, Lao Wu is in favor of giving priority to Lanzhou University, and with the continuous investment of the country, Lanzhou will get better and better, and a large number of talents will be introduced to Lanzhou and other regions, with great development prospects and room for improvement.
Choose a good tutor. At the doctoral stage, it is not so important to engage in scientific research and choose a good tutor. They are all 985. As long as your doctorate is good enough, employment is not a problem. A good tutor directly determines your academic career.
Choose Lanzhou University or Tongji University? It's entirely your personal behavior. Others can give you advice, but you can't kidnap you with feelings of home and country, let alone use various assumptions, and then mislead you. The historical glory of Lanzhou University is a fact, and Tongji's location advantage of the Oriental Magic Capital is even more rare. They are all 985, located in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Its economic prosperity, great input, great output and great development are definitely not worthy of the name. Comprehensive strength, Tongji has walked several streets in Lanzhou today. Which one to choose? Seriously doubt, do you really don't know, or are you "teasing"?
The same orientation as others: Don't hesitate to choose Tongji University. There is no need to consider Gansu household registration. You can return to Gansu after graduation, but you can also work in Shanghai.
Tongji University has a long history, rigorous style of study and strong faculty. Among them, the construction of engineering disciplines such as architecture, civil engineering, ocean, environment, vehicles and transportation ranks in the forefront of the country. More importantly, relying on the advantages of Shanghai's international metropolis, the school has frequent international exchanges with Germany and Europe, with obvious advantages; At the same time, Tongji University's electrical automation discipline system is also in the forefront, and the international metropolis gives graduates a broader and unique vision, a broader employment field and a good personal development situation.
The overall development of individuals is closely related to the regional environment. After all, Lanzhou University is located in a remote place, and its economic conditions and development momentum are far less than that of Shanghai.
Moreover, there are many universities in Shanghai, and many well-known universities such as Shanghai Jiaotong University and Fudan University have formed a joint force. The advantages of various disciplines develop in harmony with each other, and graduates get a certain promotion in a specific educational environment, which Lanzhou University does not have.
Therefore, it is obvious that the students described in the question choose Tongji University for doctoral studies. As for the household registration in Gansu province, it is not important.
From the perspective of doctoral study alone, Lanzhou University is better. If Lanzhou university students are in Shanghai, it will be a more competitive university than Tongji, and even enter the top ten.
But the reality does not exist. Although the strength of Lanzhou University is still there, its competitiveness continues to decline. As Professor Zheng Qiang said, Lanzhou University is 8 points higher than the key line in Zhejiang, and most of the teaching backbones in the chemistry and physics departments of Zhejiang University are graduates of Lanzhou University. But such a low score can't be compared with the average 2 1 1 in the east in developed provinces. This situation is really touching.
But this is the reality. Nowadays, people pay more attention to this area than ever before. In 338 cities and states, the net inflow of population is only over 40, and the population of nearly 300 cities continues to flow out. It can be seen how strongly people yearn for and identify with big cities.
In a first-tier city like Shanghai, there is never a shortage of talents from famous schools. But the hottest talents are not only famous schools, but also famous schools in developed cities. In this way, although they are all 985 prestigious schools, Tongji is from Shanghai and Lanzhou is from Lanzhou. In addition, many colleges and universities now rank Tongji before Lanzhou, which will inevitably make employers have a subconscious tendency to Tongji and give people a higher impression. What's more, enterprises want not only professional ability, but also knowledge and experience, which is also the advantage of developed cities.
So if there is little difference between the two subjects, choosing Tongji will be more beneficial to your future development in big cities. If you are not sure that you will develop in a big city and Lanzhou University has obvious academic advantages, then choose Lanzhou University unswervingly.
Choose Lanzhou University. Lanzhou University has a profound cultural heritage. Lanzhou University has trained many teachers for top universities such as Tsinghua and Zhejiang University. Lanzhou University is never impetuous and suitable for scientific research.
My family works in Lanzhou University. Congratulations on this excellent friend being admitted to two first-class universities! The only advice I can give you is: First, let's see which of the two schools is stronger in your major. Secondly, look at the mentor, what resources (including projects, funds, contacts, etc.). ) stronger; Finally, it depends on the location of the school. As long as you are professional and rich in tutor resources, you can not only greatly improve your professional ability during your PhD, but also have a very good trend after graduation!
If it were me, I would definitely go to Tongji.
Both universities are very good institutions, and it is a very happy thing to be able to study for a doctorate in such a university! But we can only go to one school, so we need you to make a reasonable choice in the end.
Why were you admitted at the same time? Many people may wonder that both the college entrance examination and postgraduate entrance examination can only be admitted to one university. Is it false that you were admitted to two universities at the same time? In fact, this situation is entirely possible for doctoral enrollment!
The enrollment of doctoral students in China is not a national unified examination, but is conducted by colleges and universities alone. Candidates only need to log in to the registration system of the corresponding university to apply for the exam. Because the registration system of each school is independent, there is no conflict between candidates' registration. After registration, as long as the examination time of colleges and universities does not conflict, you can take the examination of two or more colleges and universities, and you may be admitted to multiple colleges and universities!
How should these two universities be chosen? The attributes of these two universities are "double first-class" universities, and their rankings in the country are similar. As for doctoral studies, under the same background, it mainly depends on disciplines and geographical conditions, so I give my views from these two aspects.
0 1 From the perspective of discipline.
Tongji University ranks A+ in civil engineering, environmental science and engineering, urban and rural planning, management science and engineering, and ranks 1 1 in terms of the number of disciplines. At the same time, the design science ranks as A (top 2-5%); Mathematics, mechanical engineering, computer science and technology, architecture, traffic engineering, landscape architecture and software engineering were rated as A-.
As far as Lanzhou University is concerned, except for Grass and Ecology, all subjects are B+ or below.
In terms of overall academic strength, Tongji University is far superior to Lanzhou University!
From a geographical point of view
Tongji University, located in Shanghai, China, is a world-famous China's first tier cities. Studying or working in such a city can give you a broader vision and better job opportunities. Compared with Tongji University, the geographical location of Lanzhou University is much more remote, and the competitiveness of Lanzhou is far less than that of Shanghai.
As an engineering major, Tongji University is better than Lanzhou University in terms of the engineering strength of these two schools, so I suggest you choose Tongji University.
When you officially enter the work, no matter where you come from, as long as you are excellent. Don't worry about being far from home, the traffic is very convenient now. Moreover, after graduating from Tongji University, I want to go back to Lanzhou to work, and my competitiveness will not be bad!
The above hope can help you! Like+attention, college life is not confused! Thank you for your support!
