College Entrance Examination Application: How to Choose the Best Major Correctly

(1) Rational choice and comprehensive positioning

Whether to give priority to school or major, this issue requires dialectical analysis based on personal needs. The key depends on what kind of strength the candidates have. . For example, those who have excellent academic performance or want to continue their studies after graduation can give priority to colleges; those who do not have obvious academic advantages but want to study in high-level colleges and universities can pay attention to the relationship between "distance and scores" and choose a relatively remote location. Universities may consider choosing unpopular majors; if you have a clear professional orientation or are considering employment first after graduation, or if the selected colleges are similar in all aspects, you may give priority to majors. The following provides some reference ideas for choosing a volunteer:

1. Choose an application based on your major. If candidates have clear requirements for a major, they can first choose a few favorite majors, and then choose a school with strong educational capabilities in the corresponding major based on their own performance.

When candidates are selecting majors, they can first consider majors that they have interests, expertise, and advantages in, and then look at current hot topics and majors with high employment rates. It is necessary to understand the connotation of the major in detail, including professional training objectives, professional training requirements, main courses, employment and research fields, etc. (To understand the connotation of the major, you can read the admissions brochure of the university and the introduction of the major on the school admissions website). At the same time, you must have a clear understanding of the difficulty of learning the major, the employment prospects and salary benefits of the major, the strength of the subject, and the postgraduate entrance examination situation. After comprehensive consideration of the major you plan to apply for, choose a school with strong educational capabilities for the corresponding major based on your own performance.

2. Choose according to the school. If candidates place more emphasis on factors such as school and region, they can first select a few target colleges and then choose their favorite major within the college.

When selecting colleges, candidates should learn in detail about the basic situation of the college they plan to apply for. Based on a comprehensive understanding of the school, they should select a major that interests them and meets the application requirements. You can fully understand the university by browsing its website, attending campus open days held by the university, attending admissions consultation meetings, online consultations, telephone consultations, and reading the "Admissions Regulations", including: comprehensive strength, subject advantages, professional settings, Information on talent training, further education and employment, international cooperation, tuition fees, policies for changing majors after admission, and many other aspects.

3. Take into consideration both school and major. Candidates should first have a clear understanding of their actual situation (total scores, rankings, single subject scores, physical conditions, etc.) and know their general position among all candidates. On the basis of a comprehensive understanding of their favorite universities and majors, candidates should Find a balance between school and major, and comprehensively position the school and major. Consider not only the brand of the university, but also the suitability of the major.

The above ideas are for reference only. There are many ideas and methods for filling in the college entrance examination application form. Candidates can make a decision based on the actual situation. Whatever choice is suitable for them. Under the professional (category) parallel volunteer model, the number of volunteers that candidates can fill in is relatively sufficient. Therefore, when choosing a volunteer, candidates can use a certain number of volunteers to "protect their major" and a certain number of volunteers to "protect the school." There is no need to stick to the old rules and only use one way of thinking to choose your application. Only by organically combining multiple ideas can you better ensure the maximum benefits of candidates. (2) Screen and optimize volunteers to form a reasonable gradient

In parallel volunteer enrollment batches, an appropriate gradient should be opened to increase the chances of admission. Starting from the three gradients of "rush, stabilize, and guarantee", we proceed in three steps:

The first step is initial screening. Based on one's own actual situation and comprehensive consideration of various factors, a sufficient number of "professional (type) colleges" will be initially selected and placed in three gradients: "rush one", "stable one" and "guaranteed one". "Chong" means to rush forward. Generally, the colleges and majors that you want to study in if you don't have obvious academic advantages are placed at the level of rushing; "stable" means relatively stable aspirations. Generally, you will put the colleges and majors that you want to study in which you have greater academic advantages. Colleges and majors are placed at the stable level; "Guaranteed" refers to the choices with a high chance of admission. Generally, the choices with obvious advantages in academic performance are placed at the guaranteed level.

The second step is comprehensive optimization.

From the previously selected batch of volunteers, combined with a comprehensive analysis of the admissions situation of colleges and majors in previous years, we will delete the majors that we do not like or the universities and majors that are unlikely to be admitted, and optimize the selection of candidates who are planning to apply and can be admitted. Relatively suitable universities and majors at different gradients.

The third step is final sorting. Determine the order of specific choices based on your actual situation and intention, compare all the selected and optimized choices one by one, and arrange them in descending order from high to low. You can put your favorite majors and colleges as far forward as possible, and finally fill in some majors and choices that have high admission prospects. Fill in the choices appropriately to increase the gradient. For example, when filling in the general parallel application form, you can place the top 20-30 choices that you like with little academic advantage, the 50-30 choices that you like with certain advantages, and the 50-30 choices with greater advantages. The sure choices are placed in the last 26-36. (3) Combine your own reality and avoid risks

Candidates should make a more objective judgment about themselves, and should not aim too high or belittle themselves. You should choose a choice that suits you based on your actual situation. The selected application must first be compared with the college admissions regulations to ensure that it meets the application requirements. The chosen choice should be consistent with your interests, hobbies, strengths and strengths, and match your own personality; it should be consistent with your grades and physical conditions, and be conducive to realizing your ideals and ambitions and unleashing your potential; it should be consistent with your career plan and employment destination , combined with family wishes and economic conditions.

Parallel volunteering can effectively reduce the risk of filling in the volunteer application, but the risk will not be completely eliminated. Therefore, when filling in the application form, candidates should calmly analyze and compare objectively to avoid the risks caused by the following misunderstandings.

Misunderstanding 1: Filling in the form blindly without analysis and research. Judging from the parallel volunteer submissions in previous years, they are limited to a single level or nature of volunteers, or the chosen choices are positioned too high. Some candidates fail to meet the submission conditions for their reported choices, resulting in their reported choices becoming invalid or not being lucky enough to choose until the last choice. were thrown out; there are also candidates who only consider maximizing the use of scores, ignoring interests and specialties, etc., but after enrolling, they find that they do not like the major or are not suitable for this major; some candidates do not clearly understand the nature of the institution and academic level, resulting in high scores and low scores, etc. .

Misunderstanding 2: Thinking that parallel volunteers will vote multiple times in each round. Many candidates who are exposed to parallel applications for the first time often regard the sequential search of parallel applications as multiple submission opportunities. They misunderstand that after the previous application is withdrawn, they can continue to apply for subsequent applications. In fact, the parallel applications are searched in order according to the candidate's ranking and the order of the application. Each candidate can only submit once in each round. Once a certain application is selected in a certain period, it means that the previous applications cannot be applied and the subsequent applications have been synchronized. Invalid. In addition, due to factors such as physical limitations of candidates (for example, medical majors require color blindness and color weakness), or individual subject scores do not meet the requirements, etc., candidates may be withdrawn from the program after being submitted. Once withdrawn, it means that the opportunity to submit once in a round has been eliminated. If you are used, you will lose the opportunity to be admitted to this section (time), and you will not be able to apply for other applications in this section (time).

Myth 3: Don’t choose majors from non-central cities or popular universities. Universities in economically developed central cities often highlight characteristics such as “high scores, high requirements, and high consumption.” Paying too much attention to the ranking of a university or the popularity of its majors will magnify the risk of filling in your application. Once the college entrance examination score is not enough to be admitted to a prestigious school, the opportunity to attend other colleges and universities will be lost and volunteer resources will be wasted. Resources in prestigious schools are scarce, so candidates must objectively judge their competitiveness. Even in prestigious universities, not all majors are advantageous majors, and some specialty majors in some ordinary universities are also very strong. The popularity of majors is relative. Majors that were popular in enrollment in previous years may become unpopular when you graduate and find employment. Those who want to enter a popular major need to comprehensively evaluate the possibility of entering the corresponding major and the future development of the major, and then make a careful decision.

Important reminder: Selecting your application is a multiple-choice question, and the answer is not unique. The strategies provided above are only options among many ideas. No matter what you choose, candidates need to calmly and objectively analyze and comprehensively scientifically position themselves. , Only then can you maximize your own conditions and get the best answer.
