The 2024 postgraduate entrance examination is about to begin, and the hard preparation time of students will also be fully displayed. At the same time, the number of applicants for postgraduate entrance examinations in major universities has also been announced. However, the final number of confirmed figures came as a big surprise. I thought that the idea of "985 is not the entrance examination" is still valid, but the actual situation completely subverts this idea. This year, the number of applicants from each school has reached a new high, which is expected to reach about 5 million. On the one hand, the increase in this number can be attributed to the enthusiasm and hard work of students for the postgraduate entrance examination, and on the other hand, it is also due to the fact that some students did not get admitted to graduate school last year due to special reasons. These students decided to fight for another year and strive for better results this year. Therefore, the number of applicants for the postgraduate entrance examination is so high, and all of them show strong strength, and the phenomenon of involution is becoming more and more serious.
Although we expected a surge in the number of applicants for each school this year, we did not expect a decline in the number of applicants for some schools. For example, the number of people who passed the audit this year was 4,452, a decrease of 500 from last yearGuangzhou University saw a decrease of 1,000 studentsIn Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia, only 6,885 candidates took the postgraduate entrance examination, a decrease of 13%. Such a drop was unexpected, and at one time people mistakenly thought that it was a collective decline caused by the increase in the number of students who gave up on graduate school. However, it turned out that the target of these students was not these schools, but 985 colleges and universities. The concept of "not taking the exam in the countryside, and not taking the 985 exam for the postgraduate examination" has become a thing of the past, and the students have recognized the reality. Seeing that the number of applicants in some colleges and universities has decreased, students have an expectation that 985 colleges and universities can also reduce the number of applicants to create more opportunities for themselves. However, the reality is not as expected. The number of applicants for 985 colleges and universities has basically remained stable, and tens of thousands of people still apply for the examination. This surprised the students, obviously it is more difficult to get into 985 universities, why are these colleges still so popular?The answer to this question is actually quite simple, and that is that students have recognized reality. Many years ago, students' enthusiasm for postgraduate entrance examinations was not as high as it is now, and generally only those who really wanted to continue their studies would choose to go to graduate school. However, the situation has changed now. The number of graduates is increasing, but the number of jobs is decreasing, and even some ordinary and unwell-paid jobs are facing fierce competition. In such a situation, many students have no choice but to turn to graduate school. Although the gold content of graduate students is no longer high, and students who graduated from ordinary schools may not be valued, students believe that since they have chosen to take the postgraduate entrance examination, why not take the 985 university entrance examination, so as to increase their competitiveness?In order to live up to their efforts, students are willing to pay hard Xi and apply for 985 colleges and universities. This phenomenon is also in line with the changes and development trends of the times.
However, getting into graduate school is not an easy task, and it is not an easy goal to achieve on a whim. Many students have worked hard for many years to successfully participate in the postgraduate entrance examination. Therefore, students must stay the course and never give up. In this process, many students choose to give up the postgraduate entrance examination in the final sprint stage. The first wave of abandonment usually occurs in September, and as the pressure of Xi continues to increase, some students who have no firm beliefs choose to withdraw and give up. The second wave of abandonment occurs when universities announce their enrollment guidelines, and some schools may make major changes, or even cancel the enrollment of graduate students in certain majors, or change the examination subjects and reduce the enrollment scale. Some students gave up because they could no longer take the exam for other majors, or they chose to withdraw one after another because they realized that their hopes were slim. The last wave of abandonment occurred a few days before or on the day of the graduate school entrance examination. Most of these students have clear goals and are well prepared, but their psychological tolerance is poor, and they begin to doubt their abilities before the exam, and then lose their courage and cannot go to the exam room, and finally live up to everything they have worked hard for. Situations like this are not uncommon, just like the gaokao.
Of the remaining students, there is a greater chance of making it ashore. Therefore, students must persevere to the end and persevere, in order to get a good final result.
