What do you say about choosing a university and major?

On the choice of colleges and majors

Many times we should listen to the advice of "people who have been there"

After all, they have a real customer.

There will also be a lot of experience.

For example, the following one

▽

Regarding the choice of colleges and majors, see what TA says.

Choose a school

How to fill in the most cost-effective and suitable school, I suggest you start from the following aspects.

According to your score.

Filter out all the best schools you can attend.

Before and after the college entrance examination, the school usually sends out the information of the last college entrance examination score, which is very complete. From there, pick up your red pen, check it one by one, and arrange it according to your own preferences.

Go online to learn more about these schools.

Rule out those you'll never go to.

For example, when I first chose a school, Jilin University was good, but it was too cold. I don't like the cold climate, so I certainly won't go. Consider your favorite school. In addition to the reputation you heard from hearsay, you must have a full understanding of all aspects of this school: environment, climate, comprehensive strength of the school, professional settings and so on. Then determine a list.

Determine your favorite school.

Use data to accurately locate schools that can be attended.

First: the admission line and one line in previous years.

(Two books, junior college, etc.) (You can also count more data, and the mathematics you have learned will come in handy at this time). Compare your current score with this year's line score, and roughly determine whether you can pass the exam through comparison.

Second: a table from previous years.

After the college entrance examination results come out, the provincial admissions offices or examination institutes will generally release a provincial insider. You can get a maximum value, a minimum value and an average value by observing the general ranking of the previous admission scores in the province, and then compare your current scores in an interval to comprehensively judge whether you can get in. Of course, what is said here is aimed at students who apply for schools in this province, or students who apply for other provinces and cities, and so on.

Third: observe news and reliable network information.

Generally speaking, some well-known media will report some estimated scores, which are also of some reference, but don't blindly believe it.

Fourth: Pay close attention to the enrollment policy of your favorite school.

For example, how many students this school has enrolled in this province and other provinces and cities this year, and the proportion of how many students have enrolled in your province, and then you can roughly calculate whether you can be admitted according to some data, such as the points, points and paragraphs mentioned above. I think it is quite simple to do such simple statistics after studying mathematics for three years. Generally speaking, it is to calculate the average.

Several schools were screened out.

But there are entanglements with each other, what should I do?

Through friends or networks around you, find alumni QQ groups or WeChat groups in these schools, get to know seniors and listen to their suggestions. Often more valuable than online articles, because they know the actual situation; Remember to ask more questions, because everyone sees a different world.

(Note: This principle also applies to professional reporting. )

What if the grades are not good?

Repeat or leave?

This is a question about trade-offs, and only you can answer it. After one year, can I really get into the school I want to go to? But I can also talk about my thoughts and personal experiences for your reference. Before the exam, I said that even if it is three books, I will leave, because I firmly believe that personal talent has little to do with the school. After I went to college, my views became more firm.

Although it is a military school, but playing games, learning ability is very poor; Although it is an ordinary school, there are many excellent students. For example, a very strong friend of mine is only a junior college student, but his ability is above many people. When he was a freshman, he began to help some companies recruit senior students. His ability is better than most of the students I have met in Wuhan University. He is not a rich second generation, and he earned all these things through hard work. I still have some such friends, so I won't give you an example.

In addition to the above reasons, I also attach great importance to it: I don't want to waste my time studying in senior three. I want to go out early to realize my dream.

So, if you agree with me, if you don't do well in the exam, I suggest you consider leaving first.

So where to go?

My idea is to go to a university with key universities around. Why? The educational resources of domestic key universities are very different from those of an ordinary university, not to mention two or three books, so if you are not a student of a key university, you can use their resources nearby, but it will be more difficult if you are far away (but you can also look at the current large-scale open online courses and learn the courses of world-renowned universities-there is always a chance to learn).

My friends above put this into full play. Although I am a junior college student, I have attended many classes in famous schools such as Wuhan University and Huake. Although I don't think his study is very good, this way is very good. Do you think it makes up for the shortage of educational resources in your school? The university is very open. You can take any course at will and never call the roll. You study this course better than the average person in class, and your self-confidence is stronger-I study better than the students in your so-called famous school. You have a good relationship with the students in that school, and you can use their student ID cards to enjoy more resources such as the library. This is the advantage of opening universities.

But you said,

"What if I still have a famous school complex?"

In addition to directly retaking the better schools, there are also self-taught schools-in addition, the way to obtain the admission qualification of famous schools will also get the certificates of these schools and enjoy the same educational resources.

Another special thing is that you can go to an ordinary school and study hard at school at the same time, and your undergraduate course will be transferred to study abroad. There are also examples around me of transferring from a junior college to a famous foreign school. Generally speaking, if you want, you can.

There are also some special enrollment mechanisms, such as the joint construction of Wuhan students, and so on. I think there may be some in various provinces and cities. You can understand when you fail in the exam, but I have to tell you the truth. Many of these special mechanisms are substitutes for the second generation and the second generation, and you know the reason.

Finally, a word of caution: school is not the key, learning is, and what you are finally recognized by your friends and employers is only your ability.

Choose a major

It is also important to choose a major, but don't look so important, because the major is not a limitation of study or work, but your desire for learning.

If you want to major,

What if the score is not enough?

First of all, it must be popularized that the admission line of the school is different from all majors, and the admission line is the lowest admission line of all majors in the school. If you want to choose the major you are most interested in, you should also look at the professional admission line. Therefore, if your grades are not very high, but you really want to go to this school, you'd better obey the professional adjustment (in fact, other conditions are the best, and it will be embarrassing after the adjustment). Conservatively speaking, even if you can't get into that major, you can at least go to that school, and it's ok to change majors according to your own interests after you go in. It is easier for many schools to change majors.

According to our counselor's personal experience, if you want to change your major, you must make several preparations: first, your grades should be as good as possible, so that colleges with other majors can easily admit you; The other is that you should find out why you want to change your major, so that when the teacher asks you, you won't fail to answer.

I can also give you a special example to learn. There was a senior before (later went to study in America). He can successfully change majors in his junior year (usually before his sophomore year). His strategy is to tell the recipient directly that his college agreed, tell our college teachers that the recipient agreed, and then he changed. He said that he was the first junior in Wuhan University to successfully change his major. Of course, this is only a special case, mainly to show that you can always find a way to do what you want.

Interest comes first,

Hot majors need careful consideration.

You should remember that the most important factor in choosing a major is your own interest, and you can only refer to others, otherwise you may regret it all your life. Believe me, you will be happy only if you fight for what you are interested in all your life. Besides, it is not always easy to find a job in a popular major, because everyone has gone. How can it be easy to find a job with a surplus of talents? An unpopular major or an unpopular major can also find a good job. For example, as long as you are not too bad in our computer major, it is not too big a problem to find a job with more than 6000 in first-tier cities. Past data have proved this. So don't be fooled by the word hot.

Mom and dad generally don't know the situation. Most of them only consider problems from one or two single variables, even if their original intentions are good. For example, my father has been urging me to take the postgraduate entrance examination. I said that there are only two reasons why you advised me to take the postgraduate entrance examination: first, there is a graduate student in our family, and your face is more glorious; Second, I found a job with a higher salary. Let me give you an example. The first one is vanity, and the second one is that even after graduation, the salary can be higher than that of many graduate students, and the market situation is changing with each passing day. After three years of graduate study, the salary may be lower than now. The most important thing is that I don't want to go to graduate school. My father was persuaded by me in this way. Many people's parents don't know the situation either. They must think of you, but what they think is not necessarily right or what you want. Besides, you are eighteen years old, and you have to take care of many things yourself.

Going to college is more than just studying.

But also for life and experience.
