The "strange phenomenon" of the postgraduate entrance examination, 400 points missed the 211 university re-examination, but 300 points can miss 985?
In response to changes in the employment situation, more and more people have chosen to take the Graduate Record Examination in recent years. According to official data, the number of applicants for postgraduate entrance examinations in 2022 is as high as 4.57 million, an increase of 21% from 2021 and a new record high again. Due to this trend, the difficulty and competition of the graduate school entrance examination are also more fierce than ever.
The results of the postgraduate entrance examinations have been announced one after another, and some students are pleased to find that their hard work has achieved good results.
According to the transcripts posted by many candidates, there are indeed many people who have achieved more than 400 points. The number of high-scoring students appears to have increased compared to previous years, which also means that this year's national line is likely to be **. In previous years, a score of 400 was already quite an excellent result, but this year, it may be difficult to even qualify for the retest.
An example of the 2022 postgraduate entrance examination is Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics, where the results of the preliminary examination of some majors have attracted widespread attention and discussion. According to the data, among the students who applied for the international business major of Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics, 70 of them scored 400 points in the preliminary examination. However, according to the enrollment plan of this major, only 49 students are enrolled in this program.
This means that when determining the number of re-examiners, the school will follow a 1-to-1 ratio2, but according to this ratio, there are still many candidates who score more than 400 points in the preliminary examination may not be able to enter the re-examination stage. As a result, even if you score well in the initial examination, it may be difficult to be admitted.
Due to the large number of candidates for the postgraduate entrance examination this year, coupled with the slight increase in the proportion of high-scoring students compared with previous years, the competition for popular majors in some colleges and universities is extremely fierce, and the re-examination standards have also been significantly improved, which has become an indisputable fact for the postgraduate entrance examination in 2022.
However, in the 2022 postgraduate entrance examination**, a strange phenomenon has emerged. Although many candidates with a score of more than 400 in the preliminary examination did not have the opportunity to enter the re-examination of 211 University, some candidates with a score of around 300 in the preliminary examination could find opportunities in 985 University. Why is that?
Traditionally, the cut-off score for a university is usually proportional to the quality of the school, and this theory holds true in most cases. However, not all 985 universities have a very high threshold for re-examination, and some 985 universities still have relatively low thresholds and opportunities to pick up omissions, such as China Agricultural University.
Taking the hydraulic engineering major of China Agricultural University in 2021 as an example, some candidates scored only 297 points in the preliminary examination, but they still successfully entered the re-examination and were finally admitted. Most of the candidates who applied for the water conservancy engineering major of China Agricultural University did not score particularly high, and the highest score only reached more than 360 points.
In contrast, some institutions, such as Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics, are relatively weak in terms of comprehensive strength and college level, but they require higher preliminary examination scores, and even if the score reaches 400 points, they may not be able to enter the re-examination link. How exactly does this phenomenon explain?
To some extent, there are similarities between the postgraduate entrance examination and the college entrance examination, the more applicants there are, the more fierce the competition, and the threshold for re-examination will be raised accordingly. In addition, unlike the college entrance examination, the professional subjects for the postgraduate entrance examination are usually independently proposed, and the difference in the difficulty of the proposition also directly affects the setting of the re-examination threshold.
When choosing a graduate school, many candidates will consider the popularity of the major and the difficulty of the subject. For example, due to the large number of applicants for the international business major of Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics and the low difficulty of the professional subjects, there are many candidates who score more than 400 points, which makes the re-examination score relatively high.
On the contrary, majors such as water conservancy engineering at China Agricultural University are relatively low in popularity as agriculture and forestry universities. In addition, the difficulty of professional subjects is relatively small, and there are relatively few students who can get high scores, resulting in a low score for the re-examination.
The trend of graduate exams has also changed a lot in recent years. Previously, students who graduated from engineering school with a bachelor's degree would usually only apply to graduate school at the same level. However, in recent years, in order to avoid fierce competition, many undergraduates are more inclined to apply for ordinary undergraduate universities that are not famous but have a high degree of social recognition.
There are many such universities in China, such as Hangzhou Dianzi University, Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics, East China University of Political Science and Law, and Northwest Normal University. Even though Northwest Normal University is in a modest location, the number of applicants this year has reached a new high, with nearly 3,700 more than last year.
Today's topic is: The graduate school you applied for, is the score line for this year's re-examination ** or declining?
