First, choose the school that suits you.
1, matching the target major.
First of all, we should consider whether the college has a target major and its strength. In fact, the choice of collocation between colleges and majors is very particular. Generally speaking, it is difficult to get into a prestigious school and the employment prospects are good. It is less difficult for famous schools to pass general majors, and their employment prospects are also very good; It is more difficult for colleges and universities to take the prestigious majors, and the employment is better; General colleges and universities are generally professional, so it is less difficult to take the exam and the employment prospects are general; Students can refer to these characteristics and choose flexibly.
At the same time, when choosing a school, candidates should make a national index of their majors, understand their rankings, and then make a decision. Popular majors, ordinary schools and popular schools can be considered more. After all, after graduating from a prestigious school, you can make the first shot with your reputation. Relatively speaking, the challenge coefficient of popular majors in popular schools is the highest and the most difficult. At the same time, we should also consider the composition of the professional tutor. Tutors' academic qualifications, academic direction, scientific research achievements and personal style are closely related to students' future studies and even employment prospects, so candidates should pay more attention when choosing schools.
2. Urban effect
According to the statistics of the Ministry of Education, we found that 70% of graduate students choose local employment, so when applying for the exam, we should seriously consider whether to stay in the university after graduation. In addition, the students trained by universities in various cities are more or less branded locally, so the local research and recruitment office has a natural affinity for local students. Of course, everyone will have their own favorite fields. Many candidates will choose to study in first-tier cities. They think that studying in big cities can broaden their horizons, learn more knowledge and feel all kinds of avant-garde things in big cities. At the same time, 2 1 1 colleges and 985 colleges are really concentrated in big cities.
The area where the school is located is related to the platform and vision of candidates during their study, as well as their future employment and development. Of course, it is not to encourage everyone to flock to first-tier cities, but also to consider comprehensively according to their own professional situation and development prospects. Again, what is suitable is the best.
3. Academic atmosphere
For graduate students, the academic atmosphere is very important, and graduate students are slowly edifying and cultivating their various abilities in a strong academic atmosphere.
Generally speaking, the unpopular majors in popular universities will have their own good academic traditions, and those who study in this academic tradition will unconsciously be branded with the school's own temperament and temperament. Moreover, in popular universities, there will be various academic lectures and more books in the library.
For the popular majors in unpopular colleges, the academic atmosphere in unpopular colleges is relatively not strong enough. There are few academic lectures, and there may not be many academic talents to give lectures in a school year. The books and materials of the school are not complete enough, and the academic information will be relatively closed.
4. Teachers.
Graduate schools engage in research activities under the guidance of tutors. As the saying goes, "A great teacher makes a great apprentice", and the importance of tutors to graduate students is self-evident. Graduate school attaches great importance to the relationship between teachers and students, and a good teacher is very helpful for students to engage in academic research.
5. Employment prospects
Employment is a factor that must be considered when choosing an institution. After deciding on their major, the students all went to prestigious schools, hoping for a good development.
Students should have a correct attitude, base themselves on reality and choose employment rationally. We can focus on some small and medium-sized cities, where the master's degree will be valued and there will be more opportunities and greater chances of success.
Generally speaking, popular colleges seem to have good employment prospects. As the saying goes, heroes don't ask the source. But there is still half a sentence left in this sentence: before you become a hero, you should ask the source clearly.
When looking for a job after graduation, if you choose in the same major, most units may give priority to graduates from popular universities. The social demand for unpopular majors is relatively small. On the contrary, the social needs of graduates of popular majors are relatively large. Therefore, it is not uncommon for graduates of unpopular colleges to find jobs, and graduates of unpopular colleges may have more employment opportunities because of greater social needs.
6. Admission rate
Students take part in the postgraduate entrance examination in the hope that they can become the number one scholar, and whether they can pass the examination is a sign to measure the success of the postgraduate entrance examination.
There are many people applying to popular colleges, but it should be noted that many people mainly apply for popular majors in these popular colleges. Therefore, the number of applicants for unpopular majors in popular universities may be small, and the admission rate may be high.
On the contrary, for the popular majors in unpopular colleges, on the one hand, students will think that unpopular colleges are relatively easy to test; On the other hand, most students choose to apply for popular majors. Combining the two, the number of applicants for popular majors in unpopular colleges may be quite large.
Step 7 transfer opportunities
Postgraduate entrance examination can be adjusted between different schools in the same major, between different majors in the same school, and between colleges and majors. So for the postgraduate entrance examination, adjustment is a potential opportunity for postgraduate entrance examination.
If you apply for an unpopular major in a popular college, you can get more opportunities to transfer to an unpopular college within the same major, and even have the opportunity to transfer to a popular major in an unpopular college.
Generally speaking, even the same major is difficult to transfer to a popular college, but it can be transferred to an unpopular major in the same college. Therefore, there are relatively few opportunities for popular majors in unpopular colleges to adjust.
8. Economic capacity
If your family is not very rich, consider whether there are public places in the school. In addition, the correct evaluation of your ability is not only your daily academic performance. The content of the postgraduate entrance examination has little to do with what you usually learn in college, so students with average academic performance need not be too discouraged. A person's ability includes the following factors: foundation, endurance, perseverance, potential and so on. The basis of candidates is a factor in the postgraduate entrance examination, but it is not a decisive factor. Candidates should treat themselves correctly.
A good start equals success, and there are only a few factors that play a decisive role in the hard road of postgraduate entrance examination. Make the right choice and persevere. I believe that no matter what the result is, we can have no regrets.
9. Choose a sure school.
Candidates should understand that postgraduate entrance examination is not easy and the opportunity cost of postgraduate entrance examination is high. They must choose a university that can realize their personal ambitions, so that they can have the motivation to prepare for the exam and the passion to take the postgraduate entrance examination.
The ideal target college should be based on the intersection of personal ability and personal ambition. Therefore, I suggest that you must do what you can and choose the target institutions for postgraduate entrance examination. To ensure that you can pass the organic exam, you can make the most ideal and rational choice according to your own conditions, combining with the objective reality of predicting schools and cities, calmly analyzing and considering all aspects comprehensively.
From a realistic point of view, we should choose a bigger school according to our own strength.
Two, give priority to colleges and universities directly under the State Education Commission.
Priority is given to institutions directly under the State Education Commission, and there are far fewer restrictions on graduation distribution. There are no obstacles to foreign companies and various units and companies. Be cautious when applying for schools affiliated to some ministries, because graduation distribution can only be carried out in units within these ministries. If you want to jump out of these ministries, you have to pay some price. Moreover, it is annoying that in the universities of these ministries and commissions, the hot majors that sound like you may not be the hot majors you imagined, but the hot majors that have changed their taste, and the professional scope is very narrow. If the electronic engineering is in Beijing Institute of Technology, Beihang University may be missile navigation and radar. A good major is just a major that is hard to say, with a nice name, and it's too late to trick you into it.
Third, scientific research institutes.
Compared with the general college enrollment units, it is worth our consideration to choose all the advantages of scientific research institutes.
First, compared with ordinary universities, the admission rate of scientific research institutes is higher and the admission procedures are fairer. The reason why a "prestigious school" is recognized by everyone is inseparable from its rigorous style of study and scientific research strength, but the word-of-mouth communication of students is also an important factor, which is lacking in various scientific research institutes, because scientific research institutes only train graduate students. Without their own undergraduate students, the "fame" of scientific research institutes is not great, and there are relatively few students applying for the exam every year, with a high admission rate; There are no undergraduates of their own, which also makes the admission procedures of graduate schools more fair, and there will be no bias towards the enrollment of ordinary colleges and universities.
Second, the training of scientific research institutes focuses on practice, and practical experience is easier to improve. Compared with the training mode of ordinary colleges and universities, research institutes pay more attention to practical operation as well as theoretical training. When many research institutes train graduate students, they mainly undertake projects, so that students can directly participate in projects and exercise their practical ability.
Third, graduate students are well paid. Because most of the funds for training students in scientific research institutes come from the projects undertaken, compared with "work-study program", students receive some living allowances during their graduate studies, and tutors will also receive many additional subsidies. Some research institutes, such as the Institute of Telecommunications Science and Technology, are actually the predecessors of Datang Group. Studying in these research institutes will naturally have higher living conditions and subsidies than ordinary colleges and universities.
In a word, choosing a school is a big project, which not only emphasizes methods, but also has certain standards. I hope that the majority of candidates will be cautious and choose rationally.
I'm still confused when I choose a school. Bian Xiao, Chase Education, suggested that everyone should consider comprehensively the actual situation. Some misunderstandings should be avoided, so be sure to pay attention!
Wandering around, changing institutions frequently.
In the annual postgraduate entrance examination, some students hesitate between several schools, frequently changing the postgraduate entrance examination institutions, and some even start to change to other institutions on the eve of postgraduate entrance examination. Because the examination contents and reference books of different colleges and universities are different (except for the unified examination), this means that the previous review is futile for candidates who change schools, and they have to buy new textbooks to review again. This kind of behavior is very harmful to the postgraduate entrance examination, which will not only waste a lot of time for candidates, but also affect their review mood. Unless you particularly dislike your previous institution, it is generally not recommended for students to change institutions halfway.
The reason why this happens is that candidates do not have a detailed understanding of the selected institutions and themselves, and rashly choose schools. The teacher suggested that candidates should communicate with their brothers and sisters more when choosing a school, and learn the principles and information of choosing a school from them.
Blindly believe in university rankings
At present, the rankings of colleges and universities are very popular, with different ranking methods and varied ranking results. You can't blindly believe these rankings.
Judging the strength of colleges and universities depends on the candidates themselves. First of all, candidates should collect the scores, enrollment numbers and enrollment ratios of the target institutions in recent years to determine whether they are suitable for their own applications. Secondly, find out the academic contributions of the college in recent years, which tutors and their papers, and judge the academic level of the school. Then, look at the employment rate and geographical location of the school. Candidates can consider where they want to go after graduation.
In addition, each school has its own strong and weak majors, not all of which are strong majors of prestigious schools. Candidates should combine their majors when choosing a school.
Combining the above misunderstandings, it is the key to measure your own strength correctly. Choosing a school should not only have a correct understanding of institutions, but also have a correct understanding of yourself, including examination ability and economic ability. Whether the test ability is consistent with the school you apply for determines the success or failure of your postgraduate entrance examination.
Wise thinking education wishes you a smooth postgraduate entrance examination!
