For those who are going to graduate school, choosing a school is one of the most critical links, and although the number of applicants for the 24th graduate school entrance examination has decreased, the competitive pressure is greater.
For example, on the day when Wuhan University announced the self-marking of the 2024 master's admissions, a candidate with a total score of 428 points in the language category of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities did not meet the 67-point single subject line due to politics, and he missed the re-examination, and the 428 points could only unfortunately enter the adjustment Vanity Fair.

Judging from the re-examination list released by the School of Arts and Humanities of Wuhan University, although the score line for language classes this year is 390 points, the scores of candidates who successfully enter the re-examination are all above 400 points, and the highest score has reached 444 points.
According to the 150% re-examination ratio stipulated by it, 1/3 of the students with 400+ points will fail in the re-examination.
Of course, we will not be too surprised that the "985" colleges and universities have rolled out 400 points, but there are also some "double non" colleges and universities that are very popular, and even 400+ re-examination lines have appeared.
So much so that many students say that the postgraduate entrance examination is a metaphysics, but the explosion of these colleges and universities is not without warning!
What kind of school will explode?
Is it really a gratuitous explosion? Is it really an unpredictable choice for candidates who can only try their luck?
In fact, every school explosion has its underlying reasons, and the number of candidates has been huge in the past few years, so explosions are a common thing.
For example, in the 24 postgraduate entrance examinations, Shenzhen University can be said to have exploded directly to "take off", with the number of applicants reaching 24,123, an increase of 6.1%.
The score line of Shenzhen University's public administration major has reached 410 points. As a double non-resident college, the popularity of such an application is very high!
By analyzing these 24 colleges and universities that have exploded in the postgraduate entrance examination, the editor found that they will more or less have the following characteristics↓↓↓
The geographical location is good, mostly located in the capital of this province.
Even if you don't choose a megacity like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen when choosing a school, you will often choose a provincial capital, especially the provincial capital city of the candidate's hometown, which can be said to be a local big city!
The province is well-known and highly recognized for employment.
Most students go to graduate school for better employment, so special attention is paid to the school's future employment recognition. However, the involution of the postgraduate entrance examination has intensified, and it is difficult to impact 985 schools, while some provincial strong schools in this province have a great reputation in the province, and the employment environment is also quite good. Such as Heilongjiang University, Northwest Normal University, etc.
The last 211 colleges.
In the past, some lesser-known 211 were often ignored by students, but in recent years, they have gradually been excavated, after all, the last 211 is also 211, and in many cases it just needs such a platform, such as Nanchang University.
Newly promoted to a double first-class university.
With the increasing recognition of double first-class universities, new double first-class universities are bound to become popular universities, which almost every student is aware of!
These 5 institutions may explode this year
For the vast majority of students, 985/211 in the front row of the examination is definitely the best choice, but with the increasingly fierce competition for postgraduate examinations, the difficulty of landing in many 985/211 colleges and universities has increased, and the ace majors of some provincial strong schools with both popularity and professional strength have become the "best choice" for postgraduate candidates.
This kind of school itself has a high reputation and professional strength, which belongs to the intermediate level. Top universities dare not apply, and taking a step back are these institutions, which have naturally become popular places for students to apply for the exam.
Next, based on the data of previous years and some potential factors, the editor will list 5 schools that may be very popular this year for your reference only.
Heilongjiang University
Heilongjiang University is located in Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang Province, with a superior geographical location, and the vicinity belongs to the Harbin business district, so it is very convenient for the friends who come here to study.
Although it is a double-non university, the institution has a certain reputation and influence in Heilongjiang Province and even in Northeast China, with a relatively high degree of employment recognition, and the school's graduate enrollment scale is not small, and there are a large number of adjustment places every year.
Ace majors: Foreign Chinese Literature Class A, Philosophy B+, Law, Marxist Theory, Chinese and Chinese Literature, Library, Information and Archives Management are all Class B, and Chemistry B-.
Heilongjiang University's current application popularity is not very large, but the score line of individual majors has been "forced" to 400 points, such as 402 points in education, 402 points in archival science, and 400 points in information science.
And almost every college in the 24 postgraduate entrance examination has a quota for adjustment, and even opened a 5-round adjustment system, which can also be seen from the announcement of the re-examination results of the adjustment candidates, and there is no shortage of 400+ students in some majors.
In addition, Heilongjiang University does not discriminate against undergraduates, double non-graduates, and cross-examinations, which is very protective of one choice, and the number of admissions to Heilongjiang University every year is more than the planned enrollment number!
It is precisely because it has so many adjustments and has a good employment reputation in the province that it boldly predicts that Heilongjiang University will be popular this year.
Northwest Normal University
In fact, the popularity of Northwest Normal University has been rising in the past two years, and the number of applicants has reached new highs. The reason is that Northwest Normal University has a high degree of recognition in Gansu Province, is a university jointly built by the province and the ministry, has excellent educational resources, and is located in Gansu Province, and it is relatively easy to go ashore on the score line of Area B in Gansu Province. But the disadvantage is that its geographical location is in the northwest, and the location is relatively remote.
Ace majors: Ancient Chinese Literature, Chinese History, Pedagogy, Discipline Teaching, Applied Psychology
Every year, each college of Northwest Normal University is recruiting and adjusting, and although the official retest ratio is 1:1.3 in the re-examination notice, in fact, so many students are not brushed off in the real admission process, and the re-examination process is relatively fair, which are the reasons why potential people will choose Northwest Normal University.
In addition, Northwest Normal University is also a perennial university for enrollment and adjustment, which shows from the side that even if the number of applicants is large, there are still some majors with insufficient enrollment, so the 25 postgraduate entrance examination may explode, so everyone should choose carefully!
Zhejiang Gongshang University
Zhejiang Gongshang University is located in the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou, and the "Business Economics and Management" and "Journal of Zhejiang Gongshang University" sponsored by the school are published at home and abroad, and both have been included in the "Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index (CSSCI)" and "National Chinese Core Journals".
A double-non school has two core C journals, and its academic strength can be imagined. Zhejiang is only a giant university, Zhejiang University, and the other schools are all double-non colleges, so Zhejiang Gongshang University is also an ideal university for many students in the province.
Ace majors: A- in statistics, B+ in applied economics and business administration, which is why Business Economics and Management is a top publication.
You may think that this school is not very famous, and it should not be difficult for double non-academic institutions, right? But this is not the case, Zhejiang Gongshang University 24 postgraduate entrance examination of the College of Humanities and Communication, a number of major scores reached more than 390 points, Chinese modern and contemporary literature, comparative literature and world literature reached 407 points.
However, most of the majors of Zhejiang Gongshang University still use the national line, and the school protects the first choice, which is very friendly to the students who apply for the examination! Therefore, the 25 postgraduate entrance examination may be more popular.
Shanxi University
Shanxi University is one of the institutions of higher learning with the longest history in China, and in the second round of "Double First-Class" universities, the two disciplines of Physics and Philosophy of Shanxi University were selected for the Double First-Class Construction, becoming the only two disciplines among the seven new Double First-Class universities.
Although it was not a 211 institution before, the good news of entering the "double first-class" will inevitably lead to a sharp increase in the number of applicants.
Ace majors: Physics B+, Philosophy, Physical Education, Chemistry, Computer Science and Technology, Environmental Science and Engineering are B, Political Science, Marxist Theory, Mathematics, Biology, Chinese and Chinese Literature, History of Science and Technology, Ecology, Chemical Engineering and Technology are all B-class, and the strength of the finishing discipline is still very strong.
The number of applicants for the 24 postgraduate entrance examination of Shanxi University has decreased by about 5,000 compared with last year, and the score line of the 24 postgraduate entrance examination of Shanxi University is not high. It can be seen from the announcement of the 24 postgraduate entrance examination adjustment that basically all majors and even some "volume king" majors have adjustment quotas, so it is predicted that this college may explode this year.
Nanchang University
Nanchang University is a 211 institution, but its reputation is not so big in the country, and the number of applicants every year is tepid. However, with the Jiangxi Provincial Government's policy of strengthening the provincial capital and vigorously building Nanchang University, the enthusiasm for applying for the examination is bound to increase.
Ace majors: food science and engineering class A disciplines, journalism and communication, chemistry, biology, mechanical engineering, materials science and engineering, environmental science and engineering, chemical engineering and technology, clinical medicine, management science and engineering, public administration are all B-disciplines, and the discipline strength is actually quite good.
Although many netizens said that Nanchang University has taken off this year, many majors have exploded. For example, the 400+ re-examination line of horse theory, the 380 re-examination line of Sankei, and the 360+ re-examination line of tourism management cannot enter the re-examination, and the re-examination line of library and information, education, architecture, law, art design, nursing, applied statistics and other majors has increased a lot compared with last year.
But from the perspective of the overall environment, there are indeed quite a few people with a score of 400+ this year, and there are online rumors that 24 students are admitted to Nanchang University for a master's degree in statistics with 389, which is the first place.
Therefore, relatively speaking, Nanchang University is a 211 institution that is relatively easy to go ashore!
25. Suggestions for choosing a school for graduate school
With the ever-changing situation of postgraduate entrance examination, "choice is more important than hard work" is more and more important to postgraduate candidates, and choosing the right school can greatly improve the chance of landing!
From the number of applicants announced by the 24 graduate schools, we can see ↓↓↓
The number of applicants for some non-resident schools is still on the rise
For example, Shenzhen University, Jiangsu Ocean University, and Anhui Medical University all rose slightly compared with last year;
The colleges and universities that were more popular in previous years are still very hot this year
In particular, the number of applicants for engineering and technical colleges, such as Xi'an Jiaotong University and University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, still exceeds 10,000;
The popularity of popular majors is still very high
For example, new communication, education, applied psychology, law, etc. Taking South China Normal University as an example, the number of applicants for education (professional) and applied psychology is as high as 767 this year.
Therefore, the editor also provides some advice on school choice for students who are 25 years old.
01 Professional report ratio data
When choosing a school, you should focus on the number of applicants for your major. Don't be scared just by looking at the number of applicants in the colleges, there are also unpopular majors in popular colleges, and the competitive pressure of unpopular majors is completely different from that of popular majors, so you should comprehensively analyze the application data!
02 Avoid the combination of popular colleges + majors
When choosing a school, try to avoid the combination of popular colleges + popular majors, and comprehensively consider your own factors. For example, the teaching conditions, learning ability, psychological quality, etc. of undergraduate colleges and universities, because these all affect your preparation foundation and review effect.
