Advice from private organizations on how to apply for the exam
It should be a dialectical reference
Finding a major that suits you and even your future career development is believed to be a major difficulty for many students and parents who are confused when filling in the volunteers. At present, there are some organizations in the society that provide consulting services for parents and students to fill in the volunteers, how should they view their suggestions?
Zhu Jianjun, Vice Chairman of the Cultural Psychology Committee of the Chinese Society of Social Psychology: There are some organizations in society that help parents and students choose majors, and they specialize in this line of work, because it is difficult for us to find a suitable person who can help us with ideas. But in any case, it will not really know which major is the most suitable for you to go to, so the advice it gives can only be used as a reference. When applying for volunteers, you must make your own decisions just like falling in love, and other people's opinions will be used as a reference.
Popular? Hot?
How to judge the future prospects of the major?
In the process of filling in the college entrance examination volunteers, many people will be entangled in the so-called "unpopular majors and popular majors". Let's also listen to what the teachers in the college admissions office have to say.
Li Qing, Director of the Admissions Office of Beijing University of Chemical Technology: For example, some people may say that biology, chemistry, environment, and materials are the "four major sinkholes", but in our school, these majors are all national-level characteristic disciplines or first-class majors.
It is understood that at present, colleges and universities are generally strengthening general education in the process of cultivating talents, paying attention to a solid foundation and a wide caliber, and are committed to improving the comprehensive quality and ability of students. At the same time, according to the Regulations on the Management of Students in Ordinary Colleges and Universities, colleges and universities have formulated specific measures for students to change majors, so as to provide students with the opportunity to choose their majors for a second time after entering the school.
Wu Dan, Dean of the Undergraduate College of Wuhan University: We will also explore some of our so-called unpopular majors, such as the cultivation of compound talents with other majors, such as major and minor systems, double degrees, experimental classes, etc. We relax the restrictions on changing majors and leave the choice to students. We encourage students to choose their majors rationally according to their own interests and strengths, and we believe that we will be able to cultivate more talents with innovative spirit and practical ability.
