These three types of people are easily eliminated.
First, although the initial test results are good, there are not many online students who apply for the same research direction or tutor, and most candidates have big problems in the second test. For example, there is a serious lack of professional knowledge background, the experimental skills are too poor to carry out experiments, and the interview performance is too poor.
Second, the number of online applicants for the same tutor exceeds the number of applicants, and the initial test results are much worse than those of other candidates who apply for the same tutor, so there is no other special advantage.
Because now graduate students still consider the first choice first, and then consider the advantages and disadvantages of grades and abilities. Although some online candidates' grades are not very good, they are admitted because there are fewer online candidates who apply for this research direction or tutor, even accounting for public expenses.
Third, the initial test results are not good, the retest results are not outstanding, and the comprehensive scores rank at the bottom, and candidates who apply for popular majors. This also varies from school to school. Some schools admit graduate students who apply for tutors as long as the initial test results are online and there is no big problem in the second test.
Understand the academic direction of the tutor as soon as possible.
A crucial part of the second interview is the comprehensive interview. During the interview, the tutor group will examine the professional knowledge and thinking ability of the candidate, which often determines a person's choice. Therefore, getting in touch with the tutor before the second interview becomes an important bargaining chip for the candidate.
Before meeting with the tutor, you can go to China Journal to search for the articles published by the tutor to understand their academic direction and key research issues. When you contact your tutor for the first time, you can ask questions about the re-examination procedure, express your great enthusiasm and cutting-edge concern for your major, and have a strong desire to follow him.
The students that the tutor likes are serious and innovative. In the process of communication, never pretend not to understand, always remain humble, pay attention to innovation, and show your true strength and character.
Some tutors will ask about the cost after graduate school, and candidates should show that they will devote themselves to research work in the future, and there will be no part-time jobs and other things that affect their studies during graduate school.
If you don't know how to prepare for the second interview, you'd better sign up for a Hongzhi postgraduate remedial class. One-on-one tutoring for graduate students and seniors can make review preparation more targeted and bid farewell to lack of information. After all, graduate students have a close relationship with their tutors, and they have also experienced the second interview, so they are still familiar with it.
