Q: How to choose a school when filling out a volunteer?
A: The order of six universities in the same batch must be graded.
Some high school teachers and college admissions officers suggest that candidates should consider the following points when choosing a school: 1. Students' college entrance examination scores. 2. The enrollment plan of the school. Key universities directly under the central ministries and commissions generally recruit students nationwide, and some of them have balanced plans, mainly based on the number of local candidates and the situation of students in previous years; Some schools have historically formed key areas for students, regardless of the number of candidates. However, most local colleges and universities enroll students in their own provinces and regions, and there are generally more plans in the location of colleges and universities than in other regions, and some even reach more than 50%. 3. The admission scores of the school in recent years.
According to the principle of batch admission, Guangdong candidates can apply for three batches of colleges and universities in addition to advance approval, and each batch generally applies for six colleges and universities. According to the introduction of the graduating class teachers of some key high schools in Guangzhou and the person in charge of the college admissions office, candidates must open the ranks of how to fill in the order of six universities when filling in their volunteers.
Senior three teachers of some key middle schools in Guangzhou told reporters that, generally speaking, it is the most difficult to fill in the volunteers of an institution, because there are many examples of "high scores falling off the list" because of improper filling. In order to improve the admission rate, the first choice to the third choice must be filled in from high to low. Many key universities generally don't admit two volunteer candidates because of abundant students, so candidates must find out whether the two volunteer universities you fill in promise to admit two volunteer candidates before filling out the form (this will be explained in the school's enrollment regulations).
Two colleges and universities have the same problem, but the risk is smaller than that of one college, and we should also pay attention to the gradient. Three batches of colleges and universities are the easiest to fill in. General colleges and universities recruit students in the province, and the range of choices is not wide. It is easy to determine which institution to fill in, and the scores of institutions enrolled nationwide will be slightly higher. Filling in "obedience" in the "obedience to professional adjustment" of voluntary schools can greatly improve the chances of admission.

Q: Is it better to choose a comprehensive university or a professional college?
A: Choosing a comprehensive college is more conducive to your own development and growth.
In China, universities are generally divided into comprehensive and professional colleges. Comprehensive colleges are generally large in scale, with complete professional categories, large campus area, beautiful environment and colorful student activities. However, professional colleges have few and concentrated professional types, and the campus area is usually small, and student activities often have a strong professional color.
Deng Jize, director of the Admissions Office of South China Agricultural University, believes that for most students, choosing a comprehensive and multidisciplinary institution is more conducive to their own development and growth. In a comprehensive university, students can not only be influenced by the diversified and multidisciplinary campus academic environment, but also choose the knowledge of other disciplines, which will help them to become compound talents with broader horizons and wider knowledge in the future.
There are also some university admissions officers who believe that candidates should choose their own institutions according to the principle of "looking at personality and development" when the professional strength of the two schools is not much different. Students with a wide range of interests and hobbies who want to be "compound talents" will give priority to comprehensive universities; If you want to be a "double bachelor" and choose a second major, you will have more room for development in a comprehensive university, and it is more convenient to apply for graduate students of other majors. Those students who are calm and want to specialize in their own fields should choose a professional university, which will help them focus on the most cutting-edge and purest professional academic trends. If they want to continue their studies in this major, they will have a better chance to take the postgraduate entrance examination or graduate school.

Q: Is the school important or the major important?
A: The first batch of colleges and universities focus on grades, while the second batch of colleges and universities below focus on majors.
When filling in the college entrance examination volunteers, candidates should not only consider factors such as future employment, but also "vary from person to person and cannot generalize".
Considering the factors of future employment, candidates should emphasize the grades of the first batch of colleges and universities and the majors of the second batch of colleges and universities when filling in the college entrance examination volunteers. In recent years, many employers have first targeted key universities, especially some large units with competitive strength, and they mainly value the comprehensive quality of students. For the second batch and below, we should grasp the choice of majors, and choose those majors with good employment prospects, which are in line with our own interests and hobbies and are easier to play their specialties.
At the same time, universities are also divided into research-oriented key universities and non-research-oriented ordinary universities. Candidates should first find out whether they want to continue their studies or choose a good major to find a good job later. If you think that the undergraduate course is only a stage of study, and you will have to take the postgraduate entrance examination or study abroad in the future, then you should still put the choice of school in the first place. This is because the proportion of students who take the postgraduate entrance examination in famous universities is relatively high, and the level of tutors, research projects and research funds are sufficient, which is beneficial to candidates' further study. If candidates prefer to choose a major according to their own interests, then they should "give priority to choosing a major and give consideration to the school".
Teacher Xie of Guangzhou Zhenguang Middle School believes that candidates should also choose "major first" or "school first" according to their own strength. Some candidates with excellent academic performance may not be strong enough if they apply for popular majors in Tsinghua and Peking University. However, if you apply for the same major in Nanjing University, Wuhan University and Sun Yat-sen University, you are likely to be admitted. Therefore, candidates should choose according to their own strength.

Q: Aren't schools with low admission scores very bad?
A: It is not good for institutions with low admission scores in all cases.
Generally speaking, famous universities have higher admission scores because of their strong comprehensive strength and high level of running schools, but not all universities with lower admission scores are bad. Due to geographical location, economic development level and other factors, some universities located in Beijing, Shanghai and other places have relatively high admission scores; And those institutions with relatively remote geographical locations have relatively low admission scores.
On the contrary, many colleges and universities located in Beijing and Shanghai are sought after by national candidates, although their comprehensive strength and teachers' level are average, so their admission scores are also rising. In this case, the graduating class teachers of some key middle schools in Guangzhou warned candidates to stay awake, and never mistakenly thought that "the high admission scores are good schools", while those institutions with relatively low admission scores are poor.

Q: Can "university ranking" be used as a reference for choosing a school?
A: Some "university rankings" are not scientific and objective. If we can treat and understand it correctly, it will also be helpful to fill in the volunteers.
Some educators believe that the emergence of various "university rankings" is a manifestation of social progress. Although there are many domestic university rankings at present, the basis and reference factors of ranking are different, and the scope of investigation is different, so some "university rankings" must be scientific and objective. For college entrance examination candidates, it is also very helpful to fill in their volunteers if they can correctly look at various rankings and understand their significance.
For example, almost all of these rankings are based on the number of scientific papers published by universities around the world and the number of citations as the comparison standard of university strength, which objectively reflects the academic level of a university in the field of natural sciences, but it is difficult to reflect the level of philosophy and social sciences. At the same time, to measure the comprehensive strength of a university, it is not enough to judge only from the "academic level", but also to include the faculty, teaching conditions, school funding, student quality, student employment and so on. Yuan Guiren, vice minister of education, once suggested that when parents choose schools for their children, "university rankings can be used as a moderate reference, but we should not only look at university rankings, but also carefully examine the reported majors", mainly because "some universities have high comprehensive rankings, but they are not necessarily strong in a certain major, and some universities have strong majors, but their comprehensive rankings are slightly backward". He suggested that parents pay attention to the professional introduction in the college entrance examination consultation.
However, the heads of employment offices in some universities in Guangdong suggested that for candidates facing the choice of further studies, various university rankings can generally reflect the comprehensive strength of a university. As for "which schools are the key", candidates may wish to refer to "2 1 1 project" to be shortlisted for colleges and universities, because the colleges and universities that entered "2 1 1 project" have undergone strict evaluation organized by the Ministry of Education and have strong comprehensive strength.
