Q: What are the admission modes for college entrance examination admissions?

Answer: The college entrance examination admission mode is determined by the provincial admissions committee, and there are generally two modes: parallel voluntary admission and sequential voluntary admission.

The parallel voluntary application admission model adopts the principle of "score (rank) priority and follow the volunteer". First, according to the candidates' college entrance examination scores from high to low, and then according to the candidates' parallel volunteer order, combined with the college enrollment plan and the proportion of the file to be searched in turn, when the retrieved volunteers have a vacancy in the file, the file will be filed, and the follow-up parallel volunteers will not be retrieved after the file is successful. In a complete round of parallel voluntary retrieval and submission process, each candidate only has one chance to be voted out (successfully submitted) at most.

The sequential voluntary admission model, also known as the gradient voluntary admission model, adopts the principle of "volunteer first, follow the score". That is, candidates are allowed to fill in several sequential preferences in the same batch, which are usually called first choice, second choice, third choice, etc. When the first choice is submitted, all candidates who fill in the same first choice will follow the application from high score to low score according to the vacancy of the file; After the admission of the first choice is completed, if there is a vacancy in the filled volunteer, the second choice will be admitted. And so on.

The provincial admissions committee is responsible for the submission of the file, and after the candidate's electronic file is submitted to the relevant university, the university will admit the candidate in accordance with the admission rules in the enrollment regulations announced to the public.

05

Q: Is there a risk of withdrawal after the candidate is submitted, what factors will cause the withdrawal, and will the withdrawal from the university affect the subsequent batch of admission?

Answer: The enrollment and admission of colleges and universities implements the mechanism of "school responsibility and provincial recruitment supervision". Whether it is parallel voluntary admission or sequential voluntary admission, there are two main risks for candidates to withdraw from the file. First, the candidate's college entrance examination score does not reach the admission score of the reported major and does not obey the major adjustment; Second, the candidate does not meet other requirements stipulated in the college admissions regulations. Therefore, candidates must carefully read the enrollment regulations of the colleges and universities they intend to apply for when filling in the volunteers, so as to prevent them from being withdrawn due to non-compliance with the provisions of the college enrollment regulations.

Candidates who have been withdrawn from colleges and universities can also participate in this batch of voluntary admissions (the provincial admissions examination agency will re-announce the unfilled plans of colleges and universities to make up for volunteers) or subsequent batches of admission. Candidates who have been admitted cannot participate in the subsequent voluntary application for admission.

06

Q: What preparations should I do before filling in the volunteer form?

Answer: Candidates should do four understandings before volunteering to fill in, so as to "know themselves and know their opponents".

The first is to understand the needs of the country. The growth of the individual is closely related to the development of the country and society. The choice of schools and majors to be applied for should fully consider the needs of the country and society, and be determined to reflect the value of personal growth in serving the development of the country and society.

The second is to understand the personal situation. The best education is the right education. Candidates should comprehensively consider their college entrance examination results, interests, future aspirations and other factors, and rationally consider the intended school.

The third is to understand the situation of colleges and universities. Understand the admission scores (rankings) of the intended colleges and universities in recent years, the content of the school's enrollment regulations, and the training and employment prospects of various majors enrolled by the school in the province.

Fourth, understand the enrollment policy. Understand the provincial (autonomous region, municipal) voluntary filling method, application admission rules and other information. If there is any unclear, you should consult the relevant admissions examination agencies, universities and middle schools in time.

07

Q: What is the general idea when filling in the volunteer form?

Answer: Combined with the actual situation of the candidate, the candidate should comprehensively analyze all aspects of information, choose scientifically, and fill in the report independently.

First, reasonable positioning. Know the score, know the line, know the rank. The level of grades (ranks) is the basic factor for candidates to fill in their preferences, which determines the range of universities and majors they can choose. Candidates should position themselves reasonably, choose their volunteers rationally, and do not blindly climb high, nor do they be arrogant.

The second is to consider the whole situation. Candidates should combine various factors such as personal aspirations, hobbies, strengths, and career planning, and focus on the needs of the country and society, and consider them comprehensively. There is no so-called "hot and cold" in college majors, what suits you is the best, and candidates and parents must not blindly follow.

The third is the primary selection plan. In accordance with the idea of "rushing, stabilizing, and guaranteeing", combined with the number of volunteers that can be filled in in the province (autonomous region, municipality), and with reference to the admission situation of the intended colleges and universities in recent years, the corresponding colleges and universities are selected in three intervals: sprint volunteers (the admission position in previous years is slightly higher), stable volunteers (the admission positions in previous years are close), and guaranteed volunteers (the admission positions in previous years are low). Several colleges and universities in the same interval should appropriately distance themselves from each other with reference to the admission positions of previous years and maintain a certain gradient. It is necessary to pay attention to the selection of guaranteed volunteers to prevent all volunteers from being too high and out of gear.

Fourth, optimize and improve. Carry out comprehensive optimization of the primary selection of volunteers, and reasonably sort them according to their wishes, so as to avoid the risks caused by unreasonable arrangements of volunteers. Candidates should reasonably arrange the order of volunteers based on their full understanding of the admission positions and changes in the rankings of relevant colleges and universities in recent years.

Fifth, formally fill in. According to the order of determining the volunteers to be applied for, fill in the personal volunteer information in strict accordance with the volunteer filling process and operational requirements stipulated by the provincial enrollment examination agency.

08

Q: What are the precautions when filling in the volunteer form?

Answer: First, keep in mind the time of filling in and fill in as soon as possible. Candidates must fill in the volunteer within the specified time, and the volunteer system will be closed according to the specified time, and the candidate will not be able to fill in the application again after the closure. Candidates are advised to fill in the form as early as possible and try to avoid focusing on filling in before the deadline.

The second is to enhance the awareness of prevention and manage personal information. Candidates should properly keep their personal information such as ID card number and candidate number and login information such as the password of the volunteer filling system, and do not disclose it to others to prevent the volunteer from being tampered with by others.

The third is not to believe the grapevine information and beware of being deceived. There are problems such as inaccurate policy interpretation, untrue information provision, irregular fee collection and even fraud in various voluntary filling and consultation activities carried out by some institutions or individuals in the society, reminding candidates and parents not to be gullible. In addition, there are also institutions or individuals who carry out false fraud activities in the name of so-called "authoritative experts" and "internal information", reminding candidates and parents to be vigilant and strictly prevent being deceived.

09

Q: What is the method of admissions and when does it usually start?

Answer: The enrollment of colleges and universities implements computer remote online admission, and the admission work of all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) generally starts in early July and ends before the end of August.

10

Q: When will I receive my acceptance letter?

A: Colleges and universities will generally send admission notices to admitted new students about a week after the admission ends. If the candidate has inquired about the admission result on the official website of the provincial admissions examination agency or the university, and has not received the admission notice, he or she can contact the admissions consultation telephone number announced by the admitted university in time to inquire about the mailing status of the admission notice.
