[Preliminary preparation]
Baoyan is a tug-of-war for three years. It has grown up in bloody battles, and is strong in the assault. Most people have failed to pass the single-plank bridge smoothly. Those who have successfully landed ashore look back on the past with a lot of emotions and sigh, hereby share , Hope it will be helpful to future generations.
When I entered the university, I was still a newbie who didn’t know anything about computers, but I had the intention to apply for graduate school very early. At the beginning, the college entrance examination was based on the principle of giving priority to 211 or more, because the undergraduate graduate school is 211 985 The order requirement is clearly that the white card is there, so even the care-giving 211 has an advantage over Shuangfei in the selection of the resume of the graduate school. However, when I first came into contact with computer majors, it was a fantasy. I almost failed the final grades of major courses in the first semester of my freshman year. I wondered if I was learning computer science. Later I thought about changing my major. Even so, I still didn’t break the pot. Since the major courses must be held for other compulsory courses, my final transcript often shows a few professional courses of 70 or 80, while all other courses are full grade points. The facts have proved that the foundation for the grade point for the freshman and sophomore year is very important . If the grade point cannot be guaranteed in the freshman and sophomore year, it may not be saved by the third year. So no matter what, you must be positive and optimistic. , Try to be stable as much as possible, don’t give up easily, the future variables are unpredictable.
The scoring standard for our qualifications for undergraduate research is average grade point + competitive scientific research bonus points. And because of my strength, I didn’t dare to participate in any form of competition until my junior year. Like mathematical modeling, I participated in the training with full enthusiasm and then quit halfway unknowingly o(╥﹏╥)o It turns out that the freshman year If you can participate in the sophomore competition, you should participate as much as possible. Don’t be too much . The first time there is no prize and the second time, there will be a province two. The province two can add 0.05 in our school. So many college computer competitions, all have province two. If you add up, it will be full, not to mention save two. My senior was to participate in the annual ladder competitions, math model, Blue Bridge Cup, and mathematics competitions for three years. Every time I save two rooms or save one, I fill up before my junior year. Due to the epidemic this year, I have been at home from winter vacation to May. During this period, I have been collecting information on this year’s competition. Algorithmic competitions have been postponed. I can only prepare for work competitions. However, one person prepares several works for competition at the same time. It’s very difficult. Fortunately, I met a partner who was in charge of research. I completed works with him and named each other’s works. I made four complete works in five months. They all got good results when they entered the competition. It is beneficial to meet like-minded and supportive comrades during the insurance research period , and it is very helpful in sharing information and resources. In terms of scientific research, self-study ability is very important. I have been looking for artificial intelligence learning resources on the Internet since my sophomore year. I went to station B to listen to online courses. I bought online courses on other paid platforms to learn. If I have any questions, I will find answers on the CSDN blog. , In this way, self-study also starts from the beginning to the completion of the topic until the publication of the paper. However, I regret that I have never dared to join the teacher’s laboratory for learning. I am afraid that I will be ashamed of bad performance. The facts have proved that most undergraduate teachers welcome us to actively participate in the laboratory study. Don’t be afraid to show your lack of ability. , Entering the laboratory with the guidance of teachers can greatly improve the efficiency of learning, and it is much better to produce results and publish papers than to work hard alone. As a senior, I followed the laboratory when I entered the freshman year and persisted until I went to Peking University. Therefore, it is necessary to actively communicate with teachers and enter the laboratory as soon as possible .
For students who are interested in undergraduate studies, always remember to start first , collect information when you have time, go to the official website of your favorite school, Baoyan Island, and various exchange groups to collect information, add senior friends, and get to know your fellow students. Because insurance research is an information war , sometimes a piece of information can determine your whereabouts. At this point, I have to talk about the importance of tutors. Some students started contacting tutors in April. My most intuitive feeling is that when I contacted a school laboratory in early July, I was told that there was no place. Therefore, a few months before the summer camp, you should prepare your own materials and perfect your resume. After a certain level of improvement, you must go to your tutor to recommend online inquiries about your favorite tutor or ask the seniors and sisters about the good laboratory, and then email to express yourself Sincere and sincere wishes. There are also many methods and precautions for writing contact emails, personal self-reports, and responding to the instructor’s reply. For details, you can contact the consultant of Baoyan Island to learn. It is necessary to contact the tutor as soon as possible . You can leave an impression in advance. Popular laboratories should take up the hole as soon as possible. Some laboratories have to conduct a period of assessment such as paper reading reports. Some colleges and universities like your tutor can be in the college. The department got you from the assessment, so don't begrudge your email address and send your application boldly. Remember to set "receipt required" to confirm whether the tutor has received your email.
【Declaration and preparation stage】
- Preparation of application materials . Registration for the summer camp will begin in mid-to-late June. It is recommended that you write down your personal narrative, recommendation letter, and scan your ID card, student ID, transcript, certificate of grade 4 or 6, award certificate, and thesis retrieval certificate. Put it in a document, make adjustments according to the specific requirements of each college, and then print or copy a few more copies, because some colleges require paper materials to be mailed.
- Reporting strategy In the overall situation, remember that an overseas investment is absolutely correct, whether it is guaranteed or rushed, just report after opening the registration. The required materials are the same, and it will take a few minutes if it is not aimed at Don’t miss the chance to sign up if you have to go to any college. Don’t think that your current conditions will definitely not pass the preliminary review. Every year, the situation is different. This year's situation is that if the summer camp does not seize the opportunity and the pre-push waiver, there may be no chance . For example, Xiamen University’s summer camp recruited a lot of people this year, and the entry conditions were not strict. When the pre-recommended exemption was strict, they would not be able to enter this year when the same conditions could be entered in previous years. So I hope everyone can report not to be timid. So hard to enter, believe in yourself. In terms of details, you should also carefully choose based on your own objective conditions and the difficulty of the initial review of the institution. If the applicant has a small enrollment and high requirements, you can choose a less popular direction or choose a master degree as much as possible, or even some Colleges and universities have different departments in the same major, and each department has different assessment methods and difficulty in enrollment , so be sure to read the enrollment guidelines of each major in each faculty before signing up , and choose the one that is most beneficial to you.
- Professional course review and interview preparation. For professional course interviews, the most effective way is to search for previous years' interview experience posts on CSDN. First, summarize the interview questions of the college to be interviewed in previous years , and then go to collect the experience posts of other colleges and universities after completing all the interviews. The questions are classified and summarized in the document, and then you can sort out the best answer yourself . When you have time, read the memorization, and pay attention to understanding, so that you can answer fluently when you see the question. In fact, comparing past interview experience posts and even interview questions from other colleges and universities, you will find that there are only a few questions that are often asked in each course, which are all rules and regulations, and what is examined is the basis and focus of the textbook. Therefore, when extracting the real interview questions, you can extend the real question to other knowledge points related to this knowledge point , and then you can give yourself questions. For example, the real question asks about the nature of the B tree, which can be extended to the B+ tree. Nature, comparison between B tree and B+ tree, how B+ tree is applied to the underlying data structure of MySQL index, then you can think of binary tree, red-black tree, just build knowledge system and framework, then you can respond to teacher’s questions no matter what .
For project questions, in the preparation stage, you should choose a project that you fully grasp and have a gold content to write on your resume. If it is similar to a website and a timetable management system, it is not a project at all. The interview teacher focuses on scientific research. Project experience , and try not to be the kind of simple recurring topics that can be seen in various blogs in various blogs. It is best to reflect your own innovation and thinking in the projectFor example, for deep learning projects, it is necessary to reflect work such as collecting and sorting out data sets, modifying network structures or proposing training strategies, and it is necessary to be clear about the technology, indicators and effects used in the project, as well as the connection with previous and latest related technologies , To be able to explain why this technology is used. Why should I emphasize this point is a bitter lesson from my own: I was asked in the lab interview in Zhongshan why the super-scoring reconstruction written on the resume was not used for MAFFSRN but traditional SRGAN, and why it was just a simple reproduction and not There is no practical application of my own innovation. The final result is of course it was brushed o(╥﹏╥)o So please be cautious in the selection of project experience. What you do is a bright extra point or even the ability to turn the tide and do It's not good enough to make you fall into the sand. In order to be able to describe the project completely and fluently, I suggest that the process of the project be done in the PPT, and then repeated practice against the PPT until the manuscript is out of paper can also achieve the effect of presenting the PPT. The advantage of this is that some colleges and universities require us to do the interview. PPT presentation, on the other hand, doing PPT can help you sort out the project context, deepen your impression, and make your expression more logical.
The last is English. We usually need to introduce ourselves in English. There is nothing to say about it. Be sure to memorize it and don’t get stuck. Don’t panic if you get stuck during the interview. If you want to interview, the teacher won’t listen. They usually read your resume when you speak English, so as long as you are fluent in English self-reporting, it will do. Some colleges and universities will conduct a simple English question and answer after you finish your self-report. The scope does not exceed why you came to this school, your advantages and disadvantages, your hobbies, and introduce your hometown and the most impressive things during college. , Talk about the laboratory, teachers, and graduate students' planning during the university. It is no problem to prepare the answers in advance. As for Shanghai University of Science and Technology that requires high English, there will be English question and answer courses, English explanation projects, and even foreign teachers asking questions. If you are interested in such institutions, you need to spend some time in English. Prepare well. It is basically equivalent to preparing an English version of all the previous steps. At that time, you will pay back. - Take care of your body, adjust your mentality, exercise on time , and be prepared for the liver for three months.
[Re-exam experience]
At this stage, I mainly introduce to you my summer camp and pre-post interview experience.
Huda is one of the first schools to interview. I signed up for a master's degree in computer science and technology from the School of Information Science and Engineering. Huda’s characteristic is that there are a lot of people who enter the camp. I remember that there are nearly 500 people in the group, and the interview time for Huda is before the final exam, so I am basically naked. The interviewing teachers are two teachers who speak an authentic Hunan accent, so sometimes they don't hear clearly, and the whole process is a little awkward. The first is the Chinese self-introduction, and then the English self-introduction. Because it is the first interview, I have no experience and I am nervous. I stumbled a bit when I described myself, but I was finished. After that, the teacher asked me to talk about a familiar project, and then saw that I published a paper, so he asked about the setting of the parameters in the paper. After asking these questions, because it was almost 12 noon, the interviewing teacher estimated that he wanted to have lunch. Ended early. Generally speaking, this interview is considered to be a pass. The teacher did not ask about the professional knowledge, nor did he follow up the project and the paper. However, I did not strive for some opportunities for myself to express myself better. It cannot be regarded as outstanding performance. Have accumulated experience. However, I heard that many of the interviewees were caught asking a question and kept asking them, and then they were unsatisfied with the answer, and felt a little stale...So this is also a matter of luck, and I can only try to be fully prepared. A week later, the results passed the retest. Although all those who participated in the retest passed, it was a good start.
Harbin Institute of Technology is regarded as the first C9 entry notice I received. Although it is on the Weihai campus, it is a lot better than my undergraduate school under the title of Harbin Institute of Technology. So after receiving the notice of re-examination, I will Hurry up and review it. After entering the group, I found that the students who entered the camp were divided into batches of X1 4 according to the level of the undergraduate school . I was batch X3. It is estimated that X4 is dual-non- follow. The higher ones are 211 and 985. The grade is also good. Different batches should have different scoring standards. As long as the teachers in the later batches perform well, the scores are relatively higher. There is also an interview process: there are a total of four teachers, they did not open the camera, only I did it by myself, which made me less nervous, just when facing the four buns, the first teacher spoke to me and asked me to be my Chinese self. Introduce, the second teacher shared a screenshot of an English paper on the screen and asked me to read it and then translate it. This is the first time to translate English on the spot. If some words are not recognized, they made up the meaning, stumbling and translating it again, okay teacher I am patient and let me repeat it again. At the third level, the teacher asked me several professional class questions, namely: process scheduling method, interrupt handling process, sorting algorithm with O(n), O(1) time complexity, and dynamic routing algorithm, which is 408 each The door asked a question, and basically answered. Then there was the fourth teacher. He saw that I majored in software engineering, so he asked me what I learned in the course of software engineering, and then asked me if I know about outsourcing. I didn't expect that I couldn't answer the common sense of outsourcing for a while...but I felt affected. Not big, the overall feeling is within my control, and contrary to Hu University, I only ask for professional courses and not for project essays. As long as the review is in place, I can deal with it. After every teacher asks, he must say thank you to show respect and leave a good impression. A week later, the teacher in charge had a private chat on QQ. I told me that I passed the interview without publicity. Although it feels less formal, it is over.
The registration system of Chongqing University says to register before October 7th, so I always thought it was retesting very late, and I waited until early September to register, and then I contacted a tutor who was very enthusiastic and followed He added QQ. After chatting with him, he realized that the registration was over last week. Now it is under review and will have an interview in a few days. I quickly called the Admissions Office contact number and asked to review my registration. Help me, and finally passed the audit for me. Therefore, it is very important to contact the mentor and ask the admissions office in advance, and it happens that the teacher in the interview group where I work is the mentor, which is basically guaranteed. The interview at Chongqing University is relatively easy. Almost all of them are self-introduction in English, simple English questions and answers, asking if you have other offers, why choose Chongqing University, and asking questions about your resume. However, I didn’t prepare for this interview seriously because of my luck. I didn’t perform very well. I asked about introducing your hometown in English. It happened that I didn’t prepare this question, so the answer was very simple. After that I asked me how many words are in the book I edited, and I forgot, so I just said the number indiscriminately, because My answer was very simple, so I asked all the questions in basically ten minutes, and then the interviewer asked me what else I wanted to add. I actually said no... I gave up a performance opportunity that I could control completely, so on the whole Not satisfactory. Even if you have a tutor to protect you, I still can’t be careless. I’m glad to contact this enthusiastic tutor. The next day after I volunteered, I asked if I didn’t report it. I also expressed my blessings when I learned that I’m not coming. , So now I still feel a little guilty.
Zhejiang University has always been my fascinating college, and finally I successfully landed ashore. The process was relatively long, but in this process I also realized that Zhejiang University is very fair and humane. At first there was a summer camp, almost after signing up, there were more than a thousand people in the group, which felt like joining in the fun... Then there were many branch camps, and each branch would give lectures in the group. We choose the branch of our own intention, and then complete the major operations of each branch, and judge the superior camp based on the completion. Some are to do topics, some are to give some tasks such as building a platform and testing, and some are to make a complete work. The time is actually not a week, and many people have given up. In the end, more than 180 people are excellent. I am honored to be excellent. Camp, I feel that as long as you do it seriously, you can do better. After the excellent camp, they still have to participate in the pre-reduction exemption, and the pre-reduction exemption will conduct a computer test and a retest, and the scores of the two are weighted to obtain the total score and then ranked. The role of the excellent camp is said to be to guarantee entry pre-reduction and priority admission under the same conditions. Although that said, it does not feel that the effect is very big. In the end, it still depends on the hard standard of the computer test and interview scores, but you can get to know the tutor in advance through the summer camp. When it comes to the pre-reduction exemption, the scores of the computer test can be offset by the PAT Grade A scores within one year. I can only choose to participate in the pre-reduction exemption computer test because the PAT test in July is not good. It is recommended that you swipe PAT a few more times, because the difficulty of the pre-push-free machine test may be lower or higher than that of the PAT. For example, this year’s pre-push-free machine test has a certain degree of difficulty, and the PAT in July is easier (although I play abnormally). I saw that many students in the group used the July PAT to arrive, basically 90 to 100 points. For example, I can only rely on the chance of the last machine test, so I am more desperate, and my mentality will be a little anxious. Fortunately, I can get a higher score in my performance. After that was the interview. I have always heard that Zhejiang University’s interviews are more hard-core, and I also felt it personally: You must make a PPT and send it to the teacher in advance. During the interview, we can see the teacher’s meeting room and the whiteboard screen. After we finish one page of PPT, the teacher will turn down one page. The overall process is to introduce yourself first, then talk about the PPT, and then ask questions, strictly controlled within 20 minutes. Because it took me 12 minutes to introduce myself and talk about the PPT, I did not ask as many questions as other students in the question section. The questions asked were: the difference and advantages and disadvantages of B-tree and B+ tree, the storage and traversal of graphs, and the speed of linked lists The application of the pointer, and the project on the PPT. Basically all the answers came up, but I heard that some other students asked more partial professional class questions, and some were stuck with projects and papers. The overall feeling is still a test of our skills and Reacted on the spot. I would like to praise the efficiency of Zhejiang University. After all the professional interviews, the results will come out at noon the next day. After seeing my name on the list of candidates, the stone in my heart has finally fallen to the ground, and I can spend the National Day with peace of mind.
【Conclusion】
Later, I received re-examination notices from several schools, including the Chinese Normal University. I gave up the re-examination because Zhejiang University was planning to admit it. Now I think about what I should participate in. There is no harm in accumulating more interview experience. This year, due to the epidemic, we have retested online. Compared with the offline test in previous years, it is indeed much more convenient. It saves the trouble of buying air tickets and booking hotels, but it is also because of this that the threshold for the first trial this year has become very high. 211 and Shuangfei are unfavorable. Many 985s that were able to enter in previous years are difficult to enter this year. With various "rolls", it is quite cruel to see that 985 bosses hold several offers and others have no income.
I have a few suggestions for the younger brothers and sisters who are now preparing for postgraduate research:
1. Be sure to apply for grade points ! Ranking is always the first threshold. For ordinary 211 and Shuangfei people, it only needs to be the first or the top three. If the ranking is not high, they will only be worthy of picking up leftovers, or even this!
2. It is necessary to realize the importance of CET-6 , which is even a rigid requirement for better colleges and universities. In the case of immune IELTS TOEFL scores, go for it as high as your freshman to junior year. It is not only It is one of the reference standards in the evaluation of qualifications for undergraduate research in our school, and it is also one of the important basis for the preliminary review. Even the tutor will value it, and even the graduate students' scores can meet a certain standard after enrolling in the English class. The Zhejiang University tutor I contacted expressed satisfaction with my professional rankings, computer test scores, and summer camp works, but frowned when I got to the sixth grade. . .
3. Do more projects, actively participate in the learning of our school’s laboratory, and strive to publish papers. Even the core Chinese language is a higher level than no paper.
4, pay more security research exchange group, and more security research and the sister school seniors around partners and exchanges to learn , even those students can be added in front of your interview after interview set to pull the group, the interview can get first-hand information, a large probability will Asked the original question asked by previous students.
5. Always maintain the confidence and the spirit of being unkillable. You must believe that as long as you get the qualification of the university, there will always be a school that can go to. The only thing you can do is to register bravely and contact your tutors tirelessly, from summer camp to pre-reduction With so many opportunities in Jiutui, I can always run into a good one, and I will eventually get what I want!
Finally, I hope that all the struggling graduates and postgraduates can land as they wish! I am waiting for you at Zhejiang University~
