How big is the gap between Tsinghua University and Harvard University?
Tsinghua is my dream. I always think that studying in China is not necessarily worse than studying abroad. Tsinghua and Harvard have a lot in common: both have a long history, both enjoy lofty honors, both set a high entrance threshold, and both have woven a close alumni network. Tsinghua is known as a first-class university, but in China, I think it is still the first in Tsinghua. However, Tsinghua often compares himself with Harvard and Cambridge. From a positive point of view, it shows that Tsinghua still wants to be on a par with the world's first-class, but from other aspects, by comparing with others, it shows Tsinghua's lack of confidence and gap. Tsinghua's main building recently visited Harvard University, and I feel that there are indeed many gaps between Tsinghua and Harvard. Surprisingly and interestingly, these gaps are not reflected in hardware such as teaching conditions, but more in software such as ideas, tolerance and mind. Many people may not know that Tsinghua actually provides a lot of financial support to students at school. However, while Tsinghua is still raising tuition fees and living on tuition fees, Harvard has introduced a tuition fee reduction policy. If the student's family income is less than 60 thousand dollars, the student's tuition is free. More than 60 thousand, there are some exemptions, and tuition fees are only paid when the income is very high. Harvard no longer relies on students' tuition to make a living. They have enough funds for students to graduate without debt. In fact, this is not only a question of funds, but also a high difference in school philosophy, attitude and perspective. I believe that Tsinghua also has enough funds for students not to pay fees, but Tsinghua has no such idea and consciousness. Harvard has realized the importance of recruiting the best students. Harvard doesn't want tuition to be an obstacle for good students to enter school. As long as you meet the requirements of Harvard and Harvard wants you, Harvard will do everything possible to get you into school smoothly. There are also many differences in the attitudes of the two schools towards students after entering school. Harvard will fully support and help students graduate smoothly. The graduation rate of Harvard is as high as 98%. This has a lot to do with Harvard's perfect protection and support system. From the first day of admission, every student at Harvard has a professor as your tutor to provide you with various suggestions and guidance to help you solve any problems in your study, life and work. If you have difficulties in your study, Harvard will provide you with extracurricular tutoring and personal guidance for free. If you have financial difficulties, Harvard will reconsider your situation and make corresponding financial adjustments. Tsinghua has done a lot of ideological and political work, but the actual substantive and systematic help is not enough. Harvard University Library Harvard publicly declared that students entered Harvard after fierce competition, and once they entered the school, they should not continue to compete fiercely in the school, but should appreciate and enjoy the four-year Harvard life. Harvard emphasizes mutual assistance, support, care, friendship and cooperation among students. What a humanistic height this is. It is conceivable that the university life at Harvard must be colorful, warm and comfortable. Look at Tsinghua. Before entering the school, we experienced the test of competition, elimination, screening and crossing the wooden bridge, but after entering the school, we still have to face pressure, crisis and life-and-death competition and struggle. At that time, the top scholar in Sichuan Province almost collapsed in the competition and struggle, and had to stay two grades to barely graduate. Think about it, when he graduated, did he still have the ambition and confidence and courage when he entered school? Harvard pays more attention to the success of students after leaving school, because only the success of students can lead to the success of Harvard. Harvard has a huge, close and efficient alumni network. At school, the school will cultivate students' interpersonal relationships and arrange your holiday internship and graduation employment. Harvard's employment guidance and assistance is lifelong. As long as you are from Harvard, you will enjoy Harvard's employment guidance and guidance for life. Harvard's relaxed teaching atmosphere and academic atmosphere make students full of confidence and courage. Yes, the success of students' life is the goal of Harvard, and it is also the standard for Harvard to admit students. After high school students' grades reach a certain level, Harvard no longer pays attention to students' specific scores. Many students who got full marks in high school graduation exams missed Harvard. Why? Because Harvard cares about students' comprehensive quality, it considers and considers students' academic level, extracurricular activities, lifestyle, language expression, social participation and many other aspects and factors related to students' success in life. For example, the information students provide about themselves when applying is very important. Academic performance and teacher's recommendation are important, but in Harvard's words, students' own statements to themselves are students' own "voices", so that Harvard can know who you are. Who you are is the most important thing. What Harvard pays most attention to and values is the personality and characteristics shown between the lines. How to tell your life experience in a few hundred words, how to tell it vividly and vividly, and reflect your level. Discussion is not a novel, but the biggest challenge is how to make the evaluation teacher like you as soon as you read it. /kloc-Before the age of 0/8, they had done meaningful volunteer work, engaged in valuable work, participated in colorful social activities and achieved remarkable results. Will such students be unsuccessful in the future? Who doesn't want such a student? It's just that Harvard University emphasizes these more. I think Tsinghua also wants to recruit students like this, but the system makes Tsinghua only look at the scores and has no time to care about him. This is both helpless and reflects Tsinghua's lack of creativity and enterprising spirit. Can't Tsinghua require students to submit personal statements earlier? Can't Tsinghua arrange alumni from all over the country to interview these students who want to apply in the spring? Wouldn't it be better to use these as an auxiliary means of admission? One of the criteria for judging universities abroad is to look at the proportion of graduates' donations to their alma mater in school funds. This is a very valuable and interesting evaluation parameter. Graduates donate a lot to their alma mater, which shows at least two problems: first, graduates are very successful and have money to donate to the school. The success of graduates itself reflects the educational level of the school. This is very valuable. Second, graduates must be willing to donate money to their alma mater. This is very interesting. Graduates' recognition and recognition of their alma mater is the best judgment and evaluation of a school. Think about it. Harvard students enjoyed four years in school, graduated without debt, and found a good job through the help of the school, the recommendation of alumni and their own efforts. The school gave them a golden signboard, and more importantly, gave them knowledge and skills and extensive and powerful social relations, which made them achieve great success in their careers and lives. Can they repay their alma mater without donating money to the school? With so many alumni and family members, does Harvard University still have to worry about funds? A successful alumnus said when he returned to school: I was proud of my alma mater in those days, but today my alma mater is proud of me. This is actually specious. Alma mater is always proud of students, and students should always be proud of alma mater. The alma mater is proud of students not after their success, but from the day they enter school; Students are not only proud of their alma mater when they are at school, but also proud of their alma mater when they grow up, mature and succeed, which shows the success of the school. Harvard University has set a good example for Tsinghua University. I hope Tsinghua can catch up and study hard first.
