I don't know how many people have been looking forward to 23 years of letting go and making a good job, but the fact is that layoffs, salary cuts and involution are added, anyway, the past 2023 gives people the feeling that the money has not been earned. 
However, the economic environment is not something that can be changed by personal will, and doing the right thing according to the environment is what we should consider.

For students who apply for MBA, MPA, MEM and other majors, especially those who want to sprint to prestigious schools, an early interview is a link that must be paid attention to!The early approval interview is the background assessment and interview conducted before taking the written test, namely"Interview first, then written test".。Generally, you can get the best file in the interview in advance, and as long as you pass the written test, it will be basically stable.
For example, the MBA of Antai College of Economics and Management of Shanghai Jiao Tong University has announced the arrangement of early interviews for MBA admission in 2025, and the deadline for the first batch of applications is April 7, 2024. Students are advised to participate as early as possible. The sooner you pass the early interview, the more time you have left for the written exam to prepare.

If you have an early interview, what exactly is it? How difficult is it?

The first is the enrollment guide.
Generally speaking, the latest year's enrollment prospectus will be released from early August to September. Students can finally determine the colleges and universities they apply for through the enrollment brochure and go all out. The ones to focus on are:
Planned enrollment numbers: Understand the enrollment data of previous years and judge the enrollment trend.
The number of applicants, the actual number of admissions and the ratio of applicants: according to the information, the enrollment and admission of the major in recent years can be roughly judged.
Number of push-exempts: If there are generally a large number of push-and-exempt places in a certain major every year, it will intensify the competition of candidates.
Retest score line and re-recording ratio: The higher the retest score line, the higher the proportion of people entering the retest, and the more fierce the competition.
Calculation method of final scores: Choose according to the proportion of the initial and second examinations, and it is recommended that the colleges and universities with strong test-taking ability or cross-examination candidates should try to choose the low proportion of the re-examination.
Bibliography for the Preliminary Examination and Re-examination: Determine the focus of our subsequent review and the direction of preparation for the exam.

The syllabus is generally published in September, which determines the content and format of the examination for that year.
