Experience of Baoyan Summer Camp
First, pay attention to the policy changes and dynamic information of research and protection.
Comrades are also aware of several major changes in the policy of ensuring research: no internal guarantee, no specialized study, and encouraging interdisciplinary applications. The national unified system has increased the autonomy of target institutions and protected their legitimate rights and interests, instead of blindly favoring students. Such a policy seems to give all students a fairer opportunity and provide a platform for "the sky is high and the sea is wide", but in fact it creates a more intense platform. To put it bluntly, I basically don't limit you to anything, you can do it, but forget it; This will at least reshuffle the cards within a certain range. Before, the external insurance and internal insurance were very fixed, and the threats and competition faced by everyone were relatively small, so the insurance research was really stable. Anyway, the quota is mine, you can't take it away, you 100% guarantee. However, such a policy essentially provides greater uncertainty, which is undoubtedly a kind of pressure for some students with poor psychological endurance and risk aversion. Some students whose grades are not very high, but who have good psychological endurance and dare to fight and rush, are also an opportunity to some extent. Therefore, the changes in these policies have made it possible for diaosi to counterattack. I take my students to meet many such cases every year.
Second, be good at reading the gray areas in university announcements.
Previously, in the announcement of the insurance research or summer camp, it was clearly required that the grades of Band 4 and Band 6, 2 1 1/985 origin and other words with obvious discrimination were required. However, since 20 15, many schools have cancelled the restriction of undergraduate background. This year, many schools do not explicitly require CET-4 and CET-6 scores, but only require good English. Therefore, as long as these announcements are not made clear, they are actually an opportunity for some students with poor undergraduate background. Because not knowing means it is not a hard requirement, then at least we can get the same opportunity without breaking the law. But many schools are dissatisfied with this. When talking with the dean of a college of the Central University of Finance and Economics last year, he was a little angry with this statement: before, all undergraduate courses were required to be 2 1 1, requiring six levels; You don't need all this year. Then there will be more students shortlisted, and the written interview will become more intense and terrible. This poses a great threat to those excellent undergraduate students, and of course provides a more open, transparent and fair opportunity.
Third, accurately position yourself and grasp the sense of substitution.
Many students have asked me: teacher, I feel that my undergraduate course is not very good and my grades are average, but I can get the qualification for postgraduate entrance examination, but I really don't know which summer camp I can attend. Do I want to invest in Shanghai? I believe there are many students who encounter these problems: whether to invest in Shanghai; In any case, it won't hurt to try them all. Actually, I don't agree with this. Last year, a boy who held a summer camp or took the postgraduate entrance examination voted, and he also voted for China Women's College. There should be dozens, and finally I went to a very ordinary college. Perhaps the more you invest in your classmates' minds, the greater the probability of success, but don't forget that success in the end has a lot to do with your professional knowledge and strength. It's not that you increase the base, because no matter how much you invest in some schools, you have no chance to be selected, but you waste a lot of energy and all kinds of worries. Here, the gang suggested that it is more reasonable to vote 3-5. How to choose institutions can refer to the following criteria:
1. Do I meet the requirements announced by the target institution?
2. Where have all the graduate students before undergraduate colleges gone? The policy has just changed, and the goal can be higher than before.
3. Can you find a tutor's recommendation from the target institution?
4. Whether there are other major scientific research achievements, etc.
Fourth, put your hardware properly.
Many students have this question: my grades are not high, but I have won many prizes. Can I increase my goodwill? Let's briefly talk about the weight and order of your chips:
1. Major/class/grade ranking, remember that there must be numerator and denominator. The announcement forms given by many organizations are top 10%, 15% and so on. This is undoubtedly the most important. It is the most important factor to decide whether you can get the qualification for postgraduate entrance examination and whether the target institution will let you enter the camp.
2. English level: CET-4, CET-6, TOEFL, IELTS, etc. Many of my master's papers are in English, and many projects and meetings need to deal with English. English level determines how much you can help your tutor, which is of course very important.
3 papers, patents, competition results, innovative projects, etc. The weight of these things has a lot to do with the level you reach. For example, the second and third prizes in the beauty contest of mathematics competition and the first and second prizes in the model contest of China university students; School-level innovation projects can only be icing on the cake at most. Will never play a decisive role. Generally, the papers in provincial and national comprehensive journals have a general weight. Of course, if you have core journals, or authoritative journals such as SCI, that is another matter.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) on the screening process
As mentioned above, some students have checked the admission notice, and some students are still empty-handed. So what is the process of enrollment screening? Generally speaking, university screening is divided into two steps:
1. The primary election is completed by the staff of the research and recruitment office, which is relatively direct; General schools will set two internal hard standards: for example, 10% before grade, and 460 points or above in band 6; The screening of the staff is relatively simple and rude, and those who do not meet these two hard requirements are directly brushed. They don't understand anything else, let alone read it. There are too many students.
2. Final selection. After the first round of screening, the information of the remaining people will be handed over to the person in charge of the discipline, usually the vice president or department director. They will have a slightly comprehensive judgment and finally determine the enrollment list.
Sixth, the experience of treating brothers and sisters rationally.
It is understandable that many students are particularly obsessed with experience, but it is a bit excessive to spend too much time studying experience and asking brothers and sisters every day. Two days ago, a student shared an experience with me and said to me: Mr. Chang, although I know that reading the experience post didn't help me substantially, his counterattack gave me confidence and made me feel deeply. Teacher Chang is not here to oppose everyone's reading experience stickers, but to treat them rationally. As an experienced person, I know that my mentality and state when preparing for summer camp are completely different from those after I was admitted. Experience can never tell you that kind of personal feeling. It's just an understatement of what you did. But I think what really matters is the growth that this process brings to everyone. So the person who writes the experience is different from what you are preparing now. The success of others can't be imitated, only learned. Don't be the next one, just be the first one.
Seven, healthy competition
Teacher, my classmate is so poor that he ranks higher than me. He applied to any school I applied to. Teacher, applied for a school; Teacher, who seems to be more prepared than me? What if you can't compete with him? This kind of thing emerges one after another every year. In view of this situation, I can only give two suggestions:
1. You have many competitors, so enlarge your heart and don't just see your school.
2. Pay more attention to your own affairs. You don't have that much energy to pay attention to others all the time.
Only "rationality" and "calmness" are unbreakable.
Eight, about the "template"
Postgraduate education is personalized education, and we must make our own personality and characteristics through our own processing and thinking. As for the template, the first student felt good when using it, and the second and third ones were ok. But when I use it again in twenty or thirty, it is estimated that ten people want to throw up. As you probably know, as long as you see a template, you will get 0 points immediately; However, there seems to be no other way for us students to write their own sentences, that is, to find templates. This is true in itself, but if you don't go through your own processing and combine your own advantages, it is the original version, even the words are the same, and you will undoubtedly make a promise.
Nine, about professional foundation, professional thinking
It's easy to overlook this point. The number one major in 985 sounds terrible. But when it comes to specific professional thinking and depth, I know almost nothing. Of course, all the comrades who spent their college days know it well. However, what may play a decisive role in the final research is the depth of professional thought and academic background you have accumulated in the past three years. I emphasize here that we can't just pay attention to the formal things and all kinds of packaging, nor can we ignore the essential things. We must lay a solid foundation of professional knowledge, form our own ideas through our own thinking and processing, and it is very important to analyze practical problems with professional knowledge. Knowledge is powerful, but it can only be developed at a certain depth.
The success of Baoyan means winning at the starting line, and it also means that you can do what you want in the envious eyes of your friends in the next six months, but Baoyan is also a summary of three years, which is full of sweat and tears that others don't know. No matter whether you take the postgraduate entrance examination or the postgraduate entrance examination, I hope you will enter the most beautiful campus in your heart in September next year.
What preparations do you need to make to attend the summer camp?
How to prepare for insurance research
March-May: Information collection and positioning.
This is the first and most important step in insurance research. You need to carefully analyze and summarize all the knowledge you have learned in the past three years, and then combine your own interests and future plans to find the range of schools you intend to apply for, preferably 5-8 schools.
From April to May, the notice of guaranteeing research in colleges and universities began to be released one after another, paying attention to the notice of summer camp on college enrollment websites or receiving the notice of recommending graduate students to be exempted from examination. The general summer camp is announced earlier than the notice of exemption. If you apply for the school summer camp but fail, you can apply again when the other party starts to receive the exemption materials in September, 65438+ 10.
May-June: Prepare various materials.
The materials to be prepared generally include: registration form, undergraduate transcripts, self-statement, proof of foreign language test scores, recommendation letters from tutors, competition awards, patents and published papers. , are prepared according to the requirements of official website.
When preparing materials, we should pay attention to being as concise as possible, highlighting our own advantages, accurate and fluent language, and neat and beautiful typesetting.
July-August: Participate in summer camp activities.
It should be reminded that the final exam results will also be included in the granting of exemption qualifications in some schools, so the final exam results are very important.
Students who received the notice to enter the summer camp began to prepare professional courses, English, subject materials, interviews and other contents for the assessment content of the summer camp.
It doesn't matter if you don't receive the notice of entering the camp. Waiting for the pre-exemption in August, normal exemption in September, and the success rate of exemption in September is still very high.
Summer camp activities are generally held in July and August, and the activities last for a long time, mostly lasting for 3-7 days.
In addition to summer camp registration, we should also pay attention to the admission standards and excellent campers' standards of the target institutions.
September: publicize the students who are exempt from the test.
September tuition-free is an enrollment activity through the national tuition-free service system, which is equivalent to the "unified examination" in insurance research, and is an important step that all tuition students have to go through.
The "national test-free service system" was opened, and students can fill in their volunteers.
After obtaining the final exemption qualification, it is necessary to confirm the admission qualification and interview within the specified time.
How do sophomores prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination?
In principle, only junior students can apply for the summer camp for insurance research. Of course, if you want to choose the road of Bao Yan in your sophomore year, you can make the following preparations:
1. Mainly engaged in scientific research, competitions and papers.
Compared with junior year, sophomore has more time and energy to focus on scientific research/competitions/papers. Therefore, students who have the idea of protecting research can focus on scientific research, competitions and papers at this stage.
2. Pay attention to language ability
Generally speaking, it refers to English ability, which is manifested in CET4 and IELTS TOEFL scores, and the higher the score, the better.
It is best to get 550 in CET-6, and the scores of other majors should not be lower than 500. Therefore, students who are not high enough in CET-4 and CET-6 can cherish the exam at this stage and continue to score points, or take part in English competitions through IELTS and TOEFL scores to make up for it.
3. Consult the senior/senior of junior year in advance.
It's best to contact two or three juniors' seniors/seniors, and then find out what preparations the seniors/seniors have made, what difficulties they have encountered, what effects and feedback they have achieved in the early stage of the insurance research, so as to know yourself and know yourself, and plan ahead.
