Compared with the college entrance examination, I was more impressed with the process of filling out the volunteers for the college entrance examination.
Volunteering for the college entrance examination is a complex problem that combines many factors to find a balance point. At the same time, grades, universities, majors, employment conditions, and personal preferences must be considered. Therefore, in order to apply for volunteering, I often went to Internet cafes (there is no computer at home) to search and sort out the past. Ten years of information, score line trend, professional level, and employment market, fortunately, the hard work paid off, and the final result of the application was very consistent with my expectations, and I was quite satisfied.
In recent years, I have paid attention to every time I go to the college entrance examination. Many friends or relatives have asked me to help volunteer. I have also helped dozens of students before and after, and the feedback I got is quite satisfactory.
However, some regrettable points have also been found in the observation process in the past few years.
Many students don't know how to apply for the exam because they don't have a thorough understanding of the colleges, majors, and market conditions . It is a pity that I got a good score in the test, but in the end I applied for a very bad school, or a very bad major.
Next, I will share how to fill in the college entrance examination volunteers from my own experience in reporting volunteers.
self-examination
Volunteering for the college entrance examination involves the choice of three aspects: institutions , majors , and cities .
In the process of filling out the college entrance examination volunteer report, don’t rush to fill in the report, first give yourself a blank time, calm down and examine yourself:
- Which schools do you like?
- Which colleges does the score meet?
- What major do you like?
- Which cities do you prefer?
Don't frame the scope too rigidly, have preferences and alternatives, and then arrange them in order of priority.
Have no idea? Don't know which schools and majors you like?
No problem, then go the opposite way, starting from the score first, and frame the range based on the score line over the years combined with your own college entrance examination score. The basis for choosing this range is to increase 30 points up and down on the basis of your own score.
For example, if the test score is 550, then set a range between 520 and 580, and then combine the score line of last year to screen out the colleges that meet the requirements.
Then reversely choose the colleges, majors, and cities you are interested in. Unless you are very ranked and unwilling to go, the rest can be kept.
622 principles
Many provinces now adopt parallel volunteering, and many places often have dozens or hundreds of volunteers. This can indeed ensure that students can safely enter the university, but it will also bring some problems. There are too many choices, how should they be sorted?
Although volunteering in parallel, the admission process is carried out according to the order of filling in the report. If you choose to inadvertently rank lower schools in front, it is easy to miss higher schools and waste your college entrance examination scores.
So, how to sort it?
I summarized the 622 principles for the college entrance examination volunteer report, which are used for rushing , stabilizing , and protecting respectively .
Specifically:
- 60% of volunteers are used to impact better schools
- 20% of volunteers are used to fill in safe colleges and universities
- 20% of the volunteers are used to fill in the colleges and universities that guarantee the minimum
So, how to define the above three types of institutions?
Let's expand on it.
The first is to attack better colleges and universities. This is not an aimless impact. If you get 600 points in the test, you must attack Tsinghua University and Peking University. quota.
Impact schools should be selected within the framed range mentioned above, that is, to increase the range of 20 to 30 points on the basis of their own score line, and then pull the score line of the past 5 to 10 years online to conduct data analysis , Look at the trend of the score line.
There are several situations here:
- steady rise
- ups and downs
- Continuous decline
Combining these trends with the score line of the past two years, you can roughly judge the score line of this year, and then estimate the probability of your admission, and then sort according to your own preferences and the quality of the college.
After talking about the shocking schools, the following are safe schools.
This kind of college is a college with a difference between the score line of the past years and its own score between -5 and 5 points. It can also be enlarged to between -10 and 10 depending on the situation. It is inevitable that the score fluctuates according to the difficulty of the questions every year. This fluctuation range is more reasonable, and 20% of the volunteers can be used to fill in such institutions.
The last is the guarantee colleges. This part is the colleges and universities with a drop of 20 to 30 points mentioned in the first part, which are used to ensure that they will not be out of gear.
For these three types of volunteers, you should focus on the two types of impact and safety. If you choose a reasonable and gradient decline trend, you will generally be admitted in the first impact list, and basically will not fall into the second. Second, the third grade.
College or major?
Unless there are majors that you want to study strongly and majors that avoid tiankengs, put the colleges first, according to the priority: colleges > majors > cities .
It is very reasonable to look at the school for an undergraduate degree, the major for a master's degree, and the supervisor for a doctoral degree.
Regarding the volunteers for the college entrance examination, if you can enter 985, don't choose 211, and if you can enter 211, don't choose the ordinary one.
Don't believe the nonsense that "education is useless". The first degree is very important in the follow-up research, postgraduate entrance examination, entry into state-owned enterprises, public institutions, research institutes, or the process of entering a university. Although double first-class schools have appeared in recent years, there are also voices criticizing the phenomenon of placing too much emphasis on academic qualifications.
However, 985 and 211 cannot be replaced in a short period of time. Many public announcements may not indicate the requirements, but in the actual screening process, the template for academic qualification screening will be applied, because this is a cost for the employer. The lowest and most efficient plan, from the perspective of the employer, the quality of the school can represent a student's plasticity, learning ability, and basic level.
Of course, the choice of major is equally important, but the priority is secondary to the institution.
write to the end
In terms of major selection, I personally think that we should take a long-term view, not limited to what is hot and popular at the moment, but should consider the trend in 5-10 years, as well as the threshold and academic requirements.
Take the mathematics major I applied for as an example. Compared with automation and mechanical majors, the mathematics major was very weak in terms of employment competitiveness more than ten years ago. When I was in my sophomore year, many classmates switched majors and went to other colleges. . However, within a few years, fields such as basic research and artificial intelligence have become more and more popular. Mathematics, which is indispensable for basic fields, has attracted more and more attention. Now browsing the major recruitment websites, we can find that many people from different industries Mathematics majors will be mentioned in the recruitment requirements of the positions.
To sum up my point of view on professional choice is: have your own ideas, don't follow the trend.
