At 6:30 p.m. on May 5, the online exchange meeting organized by Law School, in which outstanding undergraduates' shared experience of entering schools of a higher grade, was held through Tencent conference platform. Zhang Jiayan, Huang Yang and Xiong Fei, outstanding 2016 undergraduate students, successively exchanged experiences on entering schools of a higher grade at home and abroad. A total of 165 students from all grades attended the meeting, which was presided over by Li Junxuan, a 2019 undergraduate.
At the beginning of the meeting, Li Junxuan, the host, gave a brief introduction to the contents of the activity, and then the three sharers officially began to exchange their experience. Zhang Jiayan, a student who will major in economic law in China University of Political Science and Law through postgraduate recommendation, first shared his experience. Zhang Jiayan pointed out that the postgraduate entrance examination is actually an information war. For the students who are fighting in the battlefield, information is an important factor to determine the final victory. Therefore, the collection of information is very important for the students. In addition, Zhang Jiayan shared many kinds of information collection ways and interesting stories around him with the students. Then, he introduced four factors that need to be paid attention to in preparation of postgraduate entrance examination: scores, foreign languages, scientific research experience and competitions. He stressed that when choosing a major, one should not blindly follow the trend, but choose a major suitable for him. Besides, the students in the same school are not completely competitive, and everyone working together is a win-win situation. Finally, he also answered questions for students, introduced methods of participating in scientific researches and encouraged them to participate actively.
Next, Huang Yang, who was recommended to study postgraduate course in Wuhan University came to share. First, she told the students something about her psychological journey. She said that no matter which road they would choose, they should consider what they want and whether they can bear the consequences of choosing that road. After that, Huang Yang introduced her own experience, "do something different to enrich my life", "exercise thinking ability by participating in the debate team" and "take part in scientific research and often communicate with teachers" are the three steps leading to the success of obtaining postgraduate recommendation. Finally, she left four suggestions: first, plan your time reasonably, be self-discipline, and try different fields more; second, explore yourself, understand what you are good at, and make plans for the future as early as possible; third, cultivate skills, and keep yourself busy; fourth, socialize properly and give attention to your interests, do not settle down and communicate with your classmates more.
Finally, Xiong Fei, who has obtained the conditional offer from four British universities, also introduced her rich experience to the students. She divided her four-year college life into two parts: professional learning and English learning, internship experience and community activities. She suggested that students try more in their freshman year and make choices after the sophomore year. Xiong Fei also analyzed the conditions and advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad in different countries for students. She stressed the importance of language learning and reminded students who are interested in studying abroad to prepare IELTS and TOEFL exams in advance.
