Recalling that in high school, in order to motivate students to study harder and Xi, our homeroom teacher often joked in a humorous way: "If you don't work hard in high school, you will study next door in college." "At that time, we were studying in an excellent high school in the city, and the grades of the students in the class were generally good, and the school next door was just a normal school, and this joke did not cause much controversy. However, after entering the university, I found that this kind of ridicule is not uncommon in many first-class middle schools in China, even some highly regarded 985 colleges and universities, which made me sigh.
Taking Sichuan University as an example, as we all know, it is one of the famous 985 universities in China, and its school-running strength is among the best in the southwest region, especially in the fields of stomatology, Chinese Chinese language and literature, etc., it ranks among the top universities in the country. Surprisingly, such a high-profile university has often become the object of jokes for teachers and students in the surrounding Chengdu No. 7 Middle School.
Chengdu No. 7 Middle School is a well-known middle school with a good reputation, and in recent years, the school has maintained a leading position in the academic competition results among domestic middle schools. In 2020 alone, 13 candidates were admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and 72 students were admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University in 2019. In addition, there are many outstanding students who have been admitted to first-class foreign universities. Therefore, teachers often ridicule that if you don't work hard in high school, you can only go to Sichuan University next door. However, in fact, Sichuan University's stomatology, clinical medicine and other disciplines enjoy a high degree of recognition in the province, and the admission score is not low.
Southeast University is one of the two 985 universities in Jiangsu, and its school-running strength ranks among the top universities in Nanjing. In recent years, the school's admission score has been closely following Nanjing University, becoming an ideal place for many candidates to find a job. In the fourth round of discipline evaluation, many disciplines such as architecture, civil engineering, transportation engineering, biomedical engineering, and art theory of Southeast University are among the best among domestic universities.
There is a well-known middle school in China near Southeast University, namely Nanjing Foreign Chinese School. It is remarkable that in 2020, 134 students of the school were sent to domestic prestigious universities through competitions and language exams, of which 80 were admitted to C9 universities and 30 were successfully admitted to Tsinghua University, Peking University and other top domestic universities. In addition, more than 250 students have been admitted to world-renowned universities such as Harvard, Cambridge, and Oxford. Although Southeast University is a highly recognized 985 university in Jiangsu Province, unfortunately, more students from Nanwai University choose to be sent to C9 universities and well-known foreign universities, which makes the application for Southeast University relatively low.
Northwestern Polytechnical University, located in Xi'an, is a multidisciplinary research university that specializes in cultivating talents in aviation, aerospace, navigation and other fields. Although it is slightly inferior to Xi'an Jiaotong University in terms of popularity, the school has excelled in disciplines such as aeronautics and astronautics science and technology, computer science and technology, and has become a popular institution that has attracted much attention.
In Xi'an, when it comes to Northwestern Polytechnical University, many people's first focus is not the school itself, but the high school affiliated to Northwestern Polytechnical University. This secondary school has a good reputation in the Xi'an area, and its school has achieved remarkable results, and the admission rate has been high. In the 2020 college entrance examination, the university successfully launched 87 students to be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, while 961 students were admitted to 985 domestic universities, of which 29 candidates scored more than 700 points, and more than 80% of graduates scored more than 600 points in the college entrance examination. For many outstanding students from the High School Affiliated to Xi'an University of Technology, it is not difficult to enter a 985 school like Northwestern Polytechnical University through unremitting efforts.
Overall, although 985 schools such as Sichuan University, Southeast University, and Northwestern Polytechnical University enjoy a high reputation in the country, for some well-known middle schools with outstanding performance, such as Chengdu No. 7 Middle School, Nanjing Foreign Chinese School, and the High School Affiliated to Northwestern Polytechnical University, the attraction of these famous schools does not seem to be particularly significant, but often becomes the object of ridicule. However, in fact, it is not easy to get into these 985 schools without the Xi to study hard.
It is worth noting that there are many similar school combinations in the country, and everyone is welcome to add to them. However, it is important to remind everyone that no matter which key secondary school you attend, you must not ignore the high standards you are holding. After all, high school is just a new starting point in life, and if we want to enter the ideal university, we still need to keep working hard and move forward bravely.
