Northeastern University Summer Camp

People often say that the early bird catches the worm. In fact, sometimes, walking and watching is also an attitude. Are you suitable for unified examination or hard work in summer camp? Bian Xiao compiled a report entitled "20 19 Postgraduate Entrance Examination: Although the summer camp is good, it is not suitable for everyone". Let's have a look. In the summer vacation of junior year, maybe you are not sure whether you are eligible for exemption from the exam, maybe you are still confused when preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, or you have decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination, determined the target university early, and rushed between the remedial class and the study room in the scorching sun. People often say that the early bird catches the worm. In fact, sometimes, walking and watching is also an attitude. In the summer vacation in recent years, major colleges and universities have played enrollment cards one after another, and selected outstanding students through summer camps, so that students can know more about the school, majors and tutors. Perhaps, after the summer camp, your goals will change and you will gain a lot.

Universities and research institutes mainly invite juniors (five-year-old seniors) to participate in summer camps, and some colleges allow sophomores to participate. Summer camps usually last for three or four days, and a few can last for a week or even longer. The main activities of the summer camp include: academic reports, interactive exchanges and school visits. In summer camp activities, students can get to know many professors, get a close look at their research fields and interact with them, and it is very possible to determine their tutors and future research directions during the activities. Most colleges and universities will organize exams during the summer camp. Students who pass the exam can apply for the school and enter directly if they recommend exemption in September. If you don't get the exemption qualification, such as postgraduate entrance examination, some colleges and universities will introduce preferential policies, and you can be admitted if you reach the national line or the school scores. Of course, each institution has different policies every year, so students who want to participate in the summer camp should pay close attention to relevant information.

It is worth noting that summer camp only provides excellent students with one more choice, not a shortcut. For a college that organizes summer camps, only ten or even single-digit students in each major can participate in summer camps on average, and the competition is fierce. The advantage of summer camp is that once the candidates are admitted in the summer camp exam, they can avoid the rush of exemption and postgraduate entrance examination, and at the same time, they can let students know more about the school these days. For the school, while retaining excellent students, it also publicized the school and departments. What students need to pay attention to is that if some colleges and universities recruit enough excellent students through summer camps, they will not recruit students who are exempt from the test in the form of recommendation.

So far, more and more universities and research institutes have started to hold summer camps, and their majors also cover humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. We can roughly divide these summer camps into four categories.

First, the strong majors of prestigious schools. Such as computer major in Tsinghua University, literature major in Sichuan University and Wuhan University. Second, the weak majors of famous schools. For example, the summer camp of the School of Science of China Renmin University and some summer camps of management majors of Harbin Institute of Technology. Third, summer camps in scientific research institutes. China Academy of Sciences is a good example, and many research institutes hold summer camps. Fourth, the dominant disciplines of key universities, such as the science and engineering summer camps of Hunan University and Northeastern University. It is particularly important to note that all majors in Hohai University have summer camp enrollment.

Campers attending summer camps are generally excellent students. Of course, different organizations have different requirements. The conditions for recruiting campers in summer camps generally include the following: third-year undergraduate students (or sophomores) have excellent academic performance, have a strong interest in academic research of their major, are willing to engage in academic research, and have a good English level. The corresponding application materials generally include: 1 summer camp application form and 1 personal statement and two letters of recommendation from experts, that is, two experts with the title of associate professor or above are required to recommend them separately, and the transcripts of the previous two and a half years (stamped with the official seal of the academic affairs office of the school or its subordinate department) and the results of the national English test band 4 and band 6 (stamped with the official seal of the academic affairs office of the school or its subordinate department) must be stamped and signed. Or TOEFL scores, GRE/GMAT scores and other certificates reflecting their English level, 1 award certificate, each 1 copy. Applicants can also submit representative academic papers, publications or original work results that reflect their academic level.

It is true that summer camp is a way for colleges and universities to pre-select graduate students. If you have the application conditions, you must apply hard. If you can apply, you must actively participate and seize the opportunity. Most colleges and universities solve the worries of students attending summer camps, and provide campers with accommodation during summer camps and one-way hard-seat train tickets for foreign college students to go to school. If you can successfully pass the assessment of the summer camp, you can attend the interview in September without trying. Even if you are not satisfied with this school, you can regard it as a guaranteed school, giving you one more chance and choice. I believe that you will be more calm in the interviews of other institutions in September.

Although the summer camp is good, it is only possible to get it if you strive for it. If you have achieved excellent results in the first three years, and your favorite college wants to apply for a professional summer camp, you should try to sign up and show your advantages during the summer camp so that you can pass the selection, so that your grasp will be much better.

The above is the related content of "20 19 Postgraduate Entrance Examination: Although summer camp is good, it is not suitable for everyone". I hope the students will seize the opportunity and make unremitting efforts for the 20 19 postgraduate entrance examination.
