For parents, their most basic wish is that their children can be admitted to a prestigious undergraduate school. Especially for students with excellent grades, they are more eager to enter the top universities of the 985 project and the 211 project. However, due to the limited number of 985 colleges and universities in China, the national average admission rate is only 162%, so many students do not get into these prestigious schools. For some students with acceptable grades, they have the desire to apply to top universities, and if they cannot be admitted to these institutions, they often choose to repeat their studies to seek opportunities. This phenomenon is not uncommon in the college entrance examination, and some students will decide to repeat their studies in order to apply for Tsinghua University for their dreams, even if they only score more than 600 points. It is worth mentioning that some students have obtained a high score of more than 700 points after repeating their studies and have been successfully admitted to the university of their choice. However, this behavior has been jokingly called "college entrance examination scores" by some netizens, and is seen by some students as a waste of educational resources.
Expansion: Every parent wants their child to have a great future, and getting into an ideal university is the key to achieving this wish. For many students, prestigious schools are the ultimate goal, and becoming a "member" of these colleges and universities represents status and honor. However, in fact, there are fewer students who can enter 985 colleges and universities, and the acceptance rate is very low. This has also led to many students eager to apply for top universities, and even chase their dream colleges and universities by repeating them. Although this behavior has been questioned as "scoring in the college entrance examination", it also reflects students' thirst and pursuit of higher education resources.
In the face of the phenomenon of students repeating their studies, relevant departments and some colleges and universities have also taken some measures to maintain the fairness of the college entrance examination. Among them, some colleges and universities have made it clear in their notices that they will blacklist a category of candidates, even if these students have high grades, they will not be admitted. These universities include Beijing Electronic Science and Technology Institute, National University of Defense Technology, Air Force Military Medical University, Naval Military Medical University, and Army Military Medical University. Taking the National University of Defense Technology as an example, the school clearly stated in the 2023 enrollment brochure that only fresh college entrance examination candidates are eligible to apply for the examination, and former students cannot be admitted, even if their grades are excellent, they have no chance. A similar situation has occurred in military academies such as the Naval Medical University and the Army Medical University in our country. These restrictions are designed to ensure the fairness of admission to the gaokao and to prevent repeat students from wasting educational resources.
Expansion: In order to maintain the fairness of the college entrance examination, some universities and local education departments have begun to impose restrictions on repeat students. Among these measures, some colleges and universities have made it clear that they will blacklist a category of candidates, even if they have high scores, they will not be admitted. For example, the National University of Defense Technology has made it clear in its enrollment brochure in recent years that only fresh college entrance examination candidates are eligible to apply for the examination, while former students are restricted. For many students who wish to apply for these universities, this is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. In addition, military schools such as the Naval Medical University and the Army Medical University have imposed similar restrictions. These measures are designed to avoid the waste of educational resources by repeaters and to ensure a level playing field.
For students who are willing to repeat, there is a need for full consideration and selection before making a decision. First of all, students should understand the requirements for repeat students in the region in advance. For example, in some places, in order to reduce the fairness of educational resources, public high schools are prohibited from enrolling repeaters of the college entrance examination. In Henan, for students who were admitted in the previous year but did not register, the scope of application and the number of majors in the second year of the college entrance examination may be limited. Therefore, before choosing to repeat, students should first understand the relevant restrictions in their area and make a decision after comprehensive consideration.
Secondly, students need to make a choice based on their own situation. If the student is not unable to get into the university, but has not been able to get into the university of his choice, then the choice of repeating should be weighed according to his or her own circumstances. Some students do not have a strong psychological tolerance and ability to withstand pressure, so it is best not to choose to repeat at this time. After all, the path of repeating is not easy, and students should have an in-depth understanding and consider their own situation before making a choice. At the same time, parents should encourage their children to think and make decisions for themselves.
Expansion: When students are willing to repeat, they should fully consider and choose, not only to understand the requirements of the region for college entrance examination repeaters, but also to make comprehensive trade-offs based on their own circumstances. Each region has different restrictions and requirements for repeat students, so students need to be aware of it in advance and consider it accordingly. In addition, students' willingness to repeat also needs to match their psychological tolerance and ability to withstand pressure. The path to repetition is not easy, and students should think deeply before making a decision and find the right direction for themselves. Parents should also give their students autonomy and encourage them to think and make decisions independently.
I have some opinions on this matter. First of all, I believe that the restrictive measures of colleges and universities are to maintain the fairness of the college entrance examination and avoid the waste of educational resources by repeat students. After all, repeating is not the only way out, students should think about their future from multiple perspectives and find a development path that suits them. Secondly, students should also consider their own circumstances and practical possibilities when making their choices. Repeating is not for everyone, and sometimes it may be better to choose a different educational path. Finally, I believe that parents should give their children a certain amount of autonomy in this process to help them think and make decisions independently.
Extension: After observing and understanding this matter, I have some thoughts on the various factors in it. The restrictive measures of colleges and universities for repeat students are to maintain the fairness of college entrance examination admission and avoid the waste of educational resources by repeat students. Repeating is not the only way out, students should think about their future from multiple perspectives and open up other development paths that suit them. At the same time, students should also weigh their own circumstances and practical possibilities when making a choice. Not everyone is suitable for repeating, and sometimes it may be more appropriate to choose a different educational path. Parents should give their children a certain amount of autonomy in this process to help them think and make decisions independently.
To sum up, everyone has their own opinion on the issue of repetition and university restrictions. Although repeating can increase the chance, it also requires students to think carefully and make a choice that suits them. At the same time, the restrictive measures of colleges and universities are also to maintain the fairness of the college entrance examination and avoid the waste of educational resources. Both students and parents need to fully understand the relevant restrictions and requirements in this process, and make comprehensive considerations and decisions based on their own circumstances.
