Since July 17, the official website of Tongji Institute of Design and Innovation announced the list of outstanding students of the 2024 Summer School of the School of Design and Innovation and Shanghai International Institute of Design and Innovation.
How are the students who are selected for the Elite Camp born? Today, I would like to share with you their growth experience:
Your competitors have already won a lot of international prizes
The general feedback of several insurance research ers I brought this year is more volatile than in previous years, and many summer camps have also become "summer 0 camps". Regarding the question of "Summer 0 Camp", this "0" can be viewed from multiple perspectives.
One is that many summer camps have become short-term meet-and-greets, and it is difficult for students to get really effective offers; Second, due to the expansion of summer camps, more people have fewer places, and it is difficult to get excellent campers; The third is that in the face of increasing competitive pressure, in order to get into good schools, such as Red Dot, A' Design, iF, and other internationally recognized international awards, almost everyone has a copy.
Now that the era of only grade points has ended, the change in the proportion of extra points in the reform of the policy of college research shows that the direction of education is to encourage the all-round development of students.
Even if the school does not clearly state that the competition is a necessary condition, it is not about the minimum standards of the school, but about what cards the competitors have in their hands, so according to this objective phenomenon, students who will be able to learn from the past next year can learn from the lessons of the past, and at the same time stabilize the GPA ranking, they must also learn to have soft power such as preparing for competitions, internship experiences, and scientific research papers.

。 CET-6 has become the most basic threshold for the summer camp of top universities such as Tongji, Shanghai Jiaotong University, and Zhejiang University.
On the one hand, top universities like Tongji are comprehensive and resourceful, and many design research topics are in line with international standards. On the other hand, some colleges and universities also offer international design majors, and foreign teachers will interview with them, so they attach great importance to language.
Moreover, the portfolio itself needs to be bilingual in Chinese and English, and if your English score is not as high as it should be, the teacher will inevitably wonder if you still need to rely on translation software to complete the project on your own.
。 This year, we had a student who wanted to go to Tongji Guochuang's Industrial Design, although he took the IELTS 6.0 test, but he did not have a score of 6, and finally had to choose other majors.

In short, as shown in the comments below, there is no such thing as "picking up leaks" in this summer camp.

Portfolio remains a top priority
Every design student knows the importance of a portfolio, and I won't talk about it anymore. Today, I will mainly talk about the details that need to be paid attention to in the portfolio based on the current situation of this year's Baoyan summer camp:
1. Portfolio and interview
In the summer camp scores of Tongji and Shangjiao, the interview score accounts for a greater proportion than the quick questions.
Taking our students as an example, one of the TA projects is a team assignment born in the Hanyi Summer Camp, and the interviewer is curious about what contributions the TA has made in the group project, and will ask targeted questions according to the links you have done.
In the face of this kind of interview, our students have done well. When the students are working on their portfolios, our teachers will consciously cultivate their ability to tell a good project.
Of course, there are also preconditions for this ability, that is, and. Our teachers act as facilitators, and the students are the real masters of the project.

2. Portfolio and theme
The main theme of this year's summer camp in Tongji and other universities is AIGC, and you can pay more attention to the artificial intelligence sector.
The AI revolution has had a disruptive impact on modern society and all walks of life, and we in the design industry cannot stay out of it.
I suggest that you usually brush up on more science and technology public accounts, websites, and TED Talks, and take the initiative to accumulate information and information on AI.
We can also think of the portfolio as an attempt to apply AI technology on our own, so that when the interviewer sees your portfolio, he will find that we are in the same direction, and the opportunity for a deep chat will come naturally.

The treasures who participated in the research have really worked hard during this time......
Perhaps the students can clearly perceive the severity of the situation of this year's summer camp through the rapid spread of the Internet, so everyone is extremely nervous and anxious. I remember that a week before the summer camp of the college, as soon as the list was announced, the study room on the second floor of Hanyi was full of students who drew quick questions and hand-painted.
The journey of the summer camp is coming to an end, and many Hanyi students who have already harvested the excellent camp of their dream school have started the "lying flat" mode. Sleep until you wake up naturally every day and play until dawn. Playing games, chasing dramas, traveling, music festivals, etc...... Don't let it go, sit back and wait for the September 28 filling system.
But! Students, the teacher will say one more word for you.
Congratulations to this student for "making a wish"
。 I have a student with a 211 undergraduate background and a high GPA, but he only chose the summer camps of Tongji and Shangjiao, and after "rejecting Germany", he plans to wait for nine to try another Top985, and prepare to study abroad planB.
First of all, you can start preparing for the insurance research program from your junior year, but my personal advice is that the sooner the better. Everyone may also understand that the insurance research is getting more and more volumes, it is easy to keep it, and it is really not easy to keep a good school.
When you start preparing for your junior year, you can only improve your grades, and you may have started to write essays and apply for summer ......camp before your grades and resume are beautiful.
Students take tests
Secondly, it is recommended that Sino-foreign joint insurance double insurance. Several of our students who have been studying abroad this year were originally planning to go abroad, but because their school grades and language scores were not bad enough to meet the requirements of the insurance research, they temporarily said that they wanted to give it a try, and the results were quite satisfactory, and they were ready to stay in China for graduate school.

According to the time of the insurance research institute, 4 projects will be completed in June. Even if it is not conducive to changing paths to study abroad, compared to other students, the time is very free, and it is completely possible to do a new project and polish the first 4 projects at the same time.
Moreover, like the "Summer 0 Camp" student I mentioned earlier, he is also a Sino-foreign joint insurance, even if he does not meet the strict requirements of the domestic head universities, he can also rush to the top schools in the international rankings.
In the end, the road of Baoyan is not a "shortcut" as some people say. Baoyan is more like a long and lonely tug-of-war, and every day of preparation and waiting is full of apprehension and anxiety; But Baoyan is also like a romantic and brave journey, as long as you choose the right direction and be down-to-earth, there will be a bright day!
I wish all students who want to apply for a master's degree can get the offer as they wish, and continue their love affair with Haidilao for another three years.
