After the college entrance examination every year, many candidates and parents will face a seemingly absurd problem: they are admitted to some prestigious schools even though their grades are not satisfactory.
What's going on here?
What is the law behind this phenomenon?
First of all, we need to understand that each university has a different admissions plan.
Some Ivy League colleges may set stricter admission standards, while some schools with unfulfilled professional enrollment plans may appropriately lower their admission standards to give some students with lower scores but higher overall quality a chance.
At the same time, the admission standards may also be different in different regions, and candidates from some relatively underdeveloped regions may enjoy certain preferential policies.
Secondly, volunteering will also have a certain impact on the admission results.
Some candidates may choose an unpopular major for various reasons, resulting in an insufficient number of applicants for the major, thus lowering the admission criteria for the major.
Therefore, even if the grades are not particularly good, students who apply for unpopular majors have a certain chance of being admitted.
In addition to the above two points, colleges and universities may also have preferential policies for certain regions or special types of candidates.
For example, some schools may formulate some special admission policies for candidates from rural areas, ethnic minorities or candidates with special family backgrounds, and give them certain preferential treatment and support.
In addition, comprehensive quality may also play a role in the admission process, and some schools may comprehensively consider factors such as candidates' subject scores, comprehensive quality, and specialties in the admission process.
First of all, candidates and parents can narrow down the scope of school choice, choose the school and major that suits them according to their interests and plans, and avoid blindly pursuing popular majors and ignoring their own interests and strengths.
Secondly, it is also very important to choose a major that suits you, and unpopular majors may also hide unexpected opportunities.
In addition, carefully read the admissions brochure to understand the enrollment plans and admission standards of each university, and be clear about your positioning and opportunities.
Finally, improve their overall quality, actively participate in various activities, enrich their extracurricular experience, and improve their overall quality and competitiveness.
In short, the phenomenon of being admitted to a prestigious school with a low score is not accidental, and there is a combination of many factors behind it.
For candidates and parents, it is most important to understand these rules, reasonably choose schools and majors according to their own conditions, and improve their own quality.
I hope that every candidate can find a suitable university and major for themselves and start a new chapter in their lives.
