Some students who took the postgraduate entrance examination (Weibo) have been planning for a long time, and some students are still hesitating. Famous universities are more difficult to test, and ordinary universities are hard to satisfy themselves. The choice of colleges for history postgraduate entrance examination requires you to master accurate information and choose your favorite university according to your own strength and professional interest. Below, the professional course postgraduate counseling experts will introduce you to the five major school selection criteria for the history major postgraduate entrance examination. 1, environment and atmosphere Everyone has different plans for life, and so does the postgraduate entrance examination. If you want to continue your study, engage in research work, finish your master's degree and want to study for a doctor's degree, you'd better choose a school with a better learning atmosphere and humanistic environment. At the same time, it is necessary to choose schools and research institutions with complete degree-granting rights, and it is best to recruit both master's and doctoral tutors. Generally speaking, famous universities have rich teaching resources, strong academic atmosphere and many cutting-edge lectures, which are conducive to students' pioneering thinking and establishing good academic concepts. If you have a strong ability to study and take exams, a prestigious school might as well be the first choice; If you encounter some problems, you'd better take a roundabout strategy. A master's degree will go to a less well-known and competitive institution first, and then consider these institutions when applying for a doctorate. 2. Career prospects Some colleges and universities may not be well-known, but some majors are good (such as the world history major of Capital Normal University), or some majors have produced many celebrities. If you have a poor foundation and just want to find a good job in the future, you can choose an institution with a better professional direction, which may not be famous. However, as far as the overall application situation is concerned, many candidates still like Beijing Normal University, National People's Congress, Nankai and other famous schools, and their attention to the pros and cons of the major itself is in a secondary position. Blind choice of prestigious schools is related to social recruitment atmosphere and recruitment preference. Some employers are obviously inclined to prestigious schools when recruiting, some units basically only consider prestigious schools when recruiting, and some well-known companies only recruit in prestigious schools. Many times, the background of famous schools can undoubtedly increase the bargaining chip of employment. If you can objectively evaluate your strength and think that you have the hope of being admitted, you might as well give it a try. At the same time, if you want to be a teacher in the future, it is recommended to choose a normal college, because now recruiting teachers like graduates from normal colleges. 3. Academic word-of-mouth and social popularity Among the institutions offering master's programs in history, according to the general professional ranking, Beijing Normal University (Weibo), Peking University, Nanjing University (Weibo), Zhejiang University (Weibo), China Renmin University, Nankai University (Weibo) and other institutions rank among the top in history, but if combined with the comprehensive strength and popularity of the schools, Beijing Normal University, Peking University, China Renmin University, Nanjing University, etc., apply for these schools. In addition to gaining a variety of resource advantages and brands after the entrance examination, even if the examination fails or the interview fails, because most of these schools belong to independent enrollment institutions, the retest scores are announced earlier than the national line, so we can act in advance to adjust and seize the opportunity; Moreover, in the adjustment work, many non-prestigious key institutions like to give priority to these losers. If the strength is good, in addition to enrolling students outside the school, you can also consider applying for a strong major in a prestigious school. Of course, if you feel that there is a lot of pressure to go to a prestigious school, then choose some institutions that have a good ranking in history, but the overall popularity of the school is average. 4. Geographical factors are currently popular in first-and second-tier cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Hangzhou, Chengdu and Nanjing, especially in Beijing and the Yangtze River Delta. If you want to work and develop, you'd better apply for schools in that area. It is also more convenient to find a job after graduation. On the one hand, when you graduate, you can't have much time to look for a job in other places; On the other hand, it is not allowed by policies, economy, information, transportation and cost, and it is unwilling to live in the field for a long time and find a job. In addition, influenced by traditional employment concepts, geographical discrimination and policy restrictions, employers either instinctively prefer candidates in big cities or want graduates who are familiar with the local environment. 5. There is always a gap between the ideal and reality of one's test-taking ability and knowledge level. If students want to shorten this distance as much as possible when applying for a school, it is important to compare the differences of professional achievements of various institutions over the years according to their usual simulation level, and then determine the school. At present, in China's postgraduate enrollment, the location of the school is divided into three districts (A, B and C), and the school basic scores of these three districts are delineated by the Ministry of Education. At the same time, there are 34 self-marking enrollment institutions, some of which have no history, so they do not recruit graduate students majoring in history. The scores will be different in different areas where the school is located. If your grades are average, you'd better lower your price and take an examination of ordinary schools in the first district or colleges in the second and third districts. Of course, relatively speaking, the postgraduate entrance examination is easier than the college entrance examination (Weibo). Generally speaking, according to the experience of previous candidates, everyone will aim at an institution one level higher than their own undergraduate institutions. In today's severe employment situation, the employment situation of history majors, which has been unpopular and will continue to be unpopular for a long time in the future, is even more severe. A famous historian once said, "It is sad to regard history as a profession!" On the one hand, it can be understood that history, as a humanities subject, its existence and development is of great significance to a country and a nation! But if you only regard it as a profession for which you seek fame, it is a kind of sorrow for you, because few people get ahead in the historical industry; It is also a kind of sorrow for history itself, because people who study history with such a mentality will not make any contribution to the development of history. History is the subject with the fiercest conflict between ideal and reality among all disciplines. Therefore, professional postgraduate counseling experts suggest that students who want to choose the 20 12 history major must think carefully and make full psychological preparation, which may reduce a lot of pain between ideal and reality. According to the statistics of the teaching and research section of postgraduate courses, there are mainly the following categories of people who applied for history majors in previous years: fresh graduates of history majors; A history teacher who teaches history in high school; These two categories account for the vast majority. There are also a small number of fans who are interested in the study of history, and a small number of students want to fulfill the dream of a famous university. Considering that it is difficult for them to take other popular majors, they will take some unpopular majors such as history. These people are small! No matter what kind of person you are, you should think carefully before choosing history. Why on earth did you choose history as your major? If you know your purpose clearly, you can judge whether your choice is correct according to your actual situation. What is the purpose of your choosing history major? I am very interested in history. Do you want to make a difference in this respect? In fact, many people are very interested in history, so students of this purpose should not only like history, but also consider whether you are suitable for learning and whether you have the ability to learn. Learning, especially the humanities, is more valuable as you get older. Can you bear the hardships of your youth and concentrate on your studies? Can you not be tempted by fame and fortune? If you can really do this, then choose a good school, a good professional tutor, do this research slowly, stick to it, and you will certainly achieve something, and don't have to worry too much about the practical problems after graduation. After all, it is not a problem to study for a doctorate and enter a small and successful university, and the treatment is still ok. Or are you not very interested in history itself, but just want to use the unpopular history to achieve some other purpose? For example, you want to realize your dream of a prestigious school, and you are very eager for a postgraduate diploma. History is an unpopular major. Candidates for this purpose are actually very dangerous, whether you can get in or not. Even if you are admitted, you will face a series of sequelae. You must consider employment. The current graduate education and famous brand are not so good, and the employment channels in the unpopular history are not very wide. Besides, although history is unpopular, it is definitely not easy to test. The admission rate of each school varies greatly. The admission rate of famous universities is low, and that of good majors is low. Take Peking University as an example, the total admission rate in 10 was about 8.05%, and the admission rates of various disciplines varied greatly in history. In recent years, the world history is 65,438+00%, the modern history of China is 6.67%, the ancient history is 439%, and the other four. The situation of the National People's Congress is basically the same. If you consider the above situation and still firmly choose history, then you should make your own career plan in advance, combine career planning with history major, and improve your comprehensive quality when studying. Because maybe your future work has nothing to do with history, but history, as a basic discipline of humanities, contains profound literacy. Extracting the regular factors of success from history and exploring the wisdom gains and losses of ancestors will greatly enhance your personal ability and quality! And this kind of ability and quality is crucial no matter what job you are engaged in in in the future.
