The college entrance examination in our province is going on, and the choice of schools and majors is a headache for candidates and parents. "School priority or major priority"? This is the exam question in front of every candidate. If your score is high enough, it may be easier to combine the two well, but when "you can't have both", how do candidates choose? Liao Aimin, deputy director of the Admissions Office of Sichuan University, gave you some ideas on the way of volunteering for "professional priority".

In these cases, "professional priority" applies.

First, candidates with low college entrance examination scores.

Candidates' scores are probably between two lines and one line or in the middle and lower part of the undergraduate course, and the college entrance examination scores are not too high. On the one hand, the colleges and universities admitted by this score line are often local provincial colleges or private colleges, with a large number of colleges and universities, many enrollment plans and a wide range of candidates' voluntary choices. On the other hand, it is difficult for these universities to see their unique characteristics and advantages. There is not much difference between the strength of running a school and social prestige, and there is not much difference between universities. The characteristics of talent training are not obvious enough, the social popularity is not high, and the school brand is not loud enough. In addition, the candidate base of this score is large, so the chances of entering the university for postgraduate entrance examination are small and the success rate of postgraduate entrance examination is low. Only a few students can go to graduate school, and most of them enter the workplace for direct employment after graduation.

For this part of the candidates, since the junior college level can't bring employment bonus to the candidates, choosing a favorite major is at least the best choice, which can guarantee better employment prospects to some extent. However, it should be noted that in order to ensure that you can be admitted to a major in a certain college, you need to refer to the admission scores of the major in previous years, not just the file transfer line of the school. When choosing colleges and majors, if candidates find that their scores far exceed the school's adjustment line, that is, the minimum admission line, don't think that they have wasted their college entrance examination scores, because the school's adjustment line and professional admission line are different, and the admission scores of different majors in the same college sometimes vary greatly. If the major is not only a "hot" major in colleges and universities, but also an advantageous major, then the admission score may be much higher than the school's adjustment line.

The second is to apply for professional candidates with strong practicality.

In universities, many majors, especially some science and engineering majors, are characterized by strong professionalism, and it takes four years of systematic study to master professional skills initially. Some science and engineering majors have not only theoretical courses to learn, but also a large number of practical courses, which are more professional. In addition, due to the strong professional attributes, employers in the industry pay more attention to the professional advantages of this major than the advantages of the school, and the professional strength is better than the brand reputation of the school. Taking civil engineering as an example, the Ministry of Soft Science of China listed the professional rankings of civil engineering in 276 universities nationwide, covering different levels and types of universities. Some "double non-"universities specialize in civil engineering, and their graduates are naturally welcomed and affirmed by construction units such as hydropower, railway construction and transportation, and their employment prospects are very promising.

Third, candidates who intend to work directly after graduation.

Some candidates have financial difficulties in their families, and even their younger brothers and sisters are at school. Although the tuition fee of public undergraduate colleges is about 5,000 yuan per year, plus the annual living expenses, accommodation fees, books and so on. They still need to spend about 20 thousand yuan every year. If the candidates are admitted to the enrollment major of private colleges, or the high-priced Sino-foreign cooperative education and art majors, it will inevitably increase the economic burden of the family. In this case, parents hope that their undergraduate students can lighten their family burden and take up the responsibility of supporting their families four years after graduation, instead of encouraging them to continue their studies. In order to reduce the family burden, such students may give up graduate school and choose direct employment after graduation. Then, when such candidates fill in their volunteers in the college entrance examination, they can consider professional priority and apply for application-oriented "hot" majors.

The following questions should be paid attention to in the idea of "professional priority" voluntary reporting.

After clarifying what kind of candidates are suitable for "professional priority", in order to ensure greater admission opportunities, candidates should also pay attention to the following issues in the actual voluntary reporting.

First of all, we should refer to and use scores reasonably.

Professional priority is to ensure that you can be admitted to the major of the institution. If candidates fill in their volunteers with the strategy of giving priority to majors, they need to refer to the admission scores of a major in colleges and universities over the years and its corresponding rankings. The more their scores and their corresponding rankings exceed the average admission score of this major, the greater the chance of being admitted to this major. Therefore, if you want to fill in your favorite major, you must have enough score margin. Under the principle of giving priority to majors, if candidates have no absolute advantage in the scores of college entrance examination for a certain major in a university, then candidates must decisively lower their psychological expectations of the university level, make appropriate concessions in terms of school-running strength and school-running area, and ensure that they are admitted to their favorite majors.

Secondly, professional cognition should be comprehensive.

Professional priority must first understand the professional connotation. Some majors cover a wide range, and the same major has different connotations in different schools. For example, it is also a vehicle engineering major, and the content of study in different universities is different. Jilin University's vehicle engineering major focuses on civilian vehicles, Harbin Institute of Technology's vehicle engineering major focuses on military vehicles, and Southwest Jiaotong University's vehicle engineering major focuses on rail trains and diesel locomotives. Therefore, when choosing a major, we should not only know the major setting of a university, but also know the main contents of the main courses in the university.

Candidates should also pay attention to the special requirements for enrollment of certain majors. For example, architecture and urban and rural planning require candidates to have a certain art foundation, and some universities require freshmen to try sketching. If this point is ignored, those who fail the sketch will be transferred to other majors. The specialty of stomatology is unfavorable to left-handed people (commonly known as left-handed) because of the particularity of its instrument operation, so left-handed candidates should be cautious in applying for stomatology. Therefore, candidates should carefully check whether the enrollment university has any additional requirements for the enrollment major before filling in the major.

Third, arrange the professional gradient reasonably.

Candidates should fill in their volunteers according to the principle of professional priority, and the professional order should be "steady and steady" and "guaranteed". After choosing the major you want to study most according to the score of the college entrance examination and its corresponding ranking, you must choose the other five majors with relatively low admission scores, so that if you can't be admitted to the major you want to study most, you can also be admitted to similar or related majors. And you must fill in the major and obey the adjustment, which is the last line of defense to avoid quitting. We should know that for candidates who give priority to applying for professional volunteers, the requirements for admission scores in colleges and universities are reduced, and the schools that apply for them generally promote candidates. Candidates can minimize the risk of quitting as long as they fill in the professional adjustment.

Finally, don't neglect your own interests and needs.

Professional priority should be combined with personal interests and abilities, not short-sighted, not conformity. The major is mainly voluntary. Don't think that "hot" majors are immutable and follow the crowd. Some candidates tend to "follow their feelings" and fill in what colleges and universities are good and which majors are "hot" after listening to others. Candidates should realize that "hot" majors are not static. Maybe the candidates applied for a major with very hot employment in that year, and the job market of this major will become "weak" when they graduate from university four years later. Therefore, candidates should not be influenced by the temporary "cold" and "hot" when choosing professional volunteers. Instead, they should start from the demand for talents for China's economic development in the next five years to 10, taking into account their personal interests and specialties.

In addition, when some high-level universities set up enrollment majors, they often take "xx experimental class" as the enrollment unit, covering several or even a dozen majors. Candidates should also know whether the majors included in the "XX Experimental Class" have their favorite majors when filling in their volunteers. Whether there are unacceptable majors, and weigh whether to apply for this experimental class.

In short, whether it is school priority or major priority, when volunteering, we should seek a balance among scores, universities, majors and regions according to candidates' scores and personal specific conditions in order to achieve the best personal satisfaction.
