Speaking of the level of undergraduate (also known as the first degree), there is a saying: North Qingyuan is greater than Zhejiang, Zhejiang is much greater than C9, and C9 is far greater than 985,985, far greater than 2 1 1, 21far greater than one book, and one book is far greater than undergraduate.

Data analysis proves this point. It is estimated that in 2020, 7 out of every 10 people in Beijing's new college entrance examination will be able to attend undergraduate courses. Of every three students, 1 can go to one; Of every six students, 1 can attend 2 1 1 key institutions; Every 87 students, 1 can go to Tsinghua Peking University. The difficulty gradient of the college entrance examination is clear at a glance.

20 14 Zhang Zhongdong, who graduated from an ordinary university in northwest China, got a master's degree in Tsinghua after working for two years. He thought he had embarked on the smooth road of life, but he was embarrassed repeatedly when he graduated. He told a newspaper reporter in Ningbo, "Some employers have clearly stated that they all require a master's degree of 985,211,and some will tell me that I still need a bachelor's degree after several passes."

The BBC website 201610 June12 quoted the Guardian article as saying that the college entrance examination score is the most important number in every child's life in China, which determines life opportunities and earning potential, and affects marriage prospects.

Why do employers favor students from 9852 1 1 colleges so much? Why are students willing to work twice or even three times harder than others to get into these universities?

A first-class university has 1 Nobel Prize winners, 1 Turing Prize winners, 43 academicians of Chinese Academy of Sciences and 33 academicians of Chinese Academy of Sciences.

One of my students admitted to 13 of C9 Economics and Management told me that his math professor had little knowledge, was a six-stage amateur Go player, and played classical guitar fluently. Several students in his bunk beds are very interested in western classical philosophy and ideological and political history. Everyone deeply agrees with Mr. Feng Youlan's argument that the function of philosophy is not to seek knowledge, but to seek wisdom, so that people can understand and gradually move from utilitarian realm to moral realm.

The learning atmosphere in first-class universities is extremely strong. Seeing that those students who are more talented than you are still working hard in places where scholars gather, what reason do you have to slack off? Please look at this library of Harvard University at 3: 30 in the morning.

In contrast, in some ordinary universities, some teachers can't even speak clearly in class, and their homework is not heavy, which gives some students time to win the first place in League of Legends, make great efforts to pick up girls' cheats, and fight against each other for the wind. ...

Chen, a famous performing artist, once said that the more people you meet, the higher the level. You will find that the more sophisticated and educated people are, the more they support each other's development, because everyone is good when you are good. The lower the level, the more immoral people like to slander jealousy, destroy Taiwan Province and despise me, because I am not good, and I don't want you to be good. Therefore, it is most important to move forward with a group of people with the same pattern and thinking.

Li Haoyu, who was admitted to the elite class of Tsinghua Computer Department 18, told me about the excitement of seeing and listening to the lectures of masters, including mathematician Professor Qiu Chengtong (the first Chinese winner of the Fields Prize), computer scientist Professor Yao Qizhi (the only winner of the Turing Prize in Asia) and biologist Professor Shi Yigong (the Chinese winner for his influence on the world).

With such good resources and driving force, when I was a class teacher, many elite students went to Europe and America for further study, graduate students or doctors:

The advantages of this academic background in graduation season are self-evident.

In ordinary colleges and universities, it is about 6000 yuan/month.

From the perspective of career development, graduates from prestigious schools have more lofty ideals and ambitions, and at the same time have firm beliefs, super thinking ability, efficient learning ability, bold actions and a high sense of social responsibility. Zhang Xiaoxiao, admitted to Guanghua School of Peking University in 2007, developed well in the field of financial investment after graduation. However, one day in July of 13, due to physical exhaustion, I was rescued in ICU for more than 50 days, underwent four operations in many hospitals at home and abroad, and recovered after a year and a half of rehabilitation exercise. Ordinary people are generally disheartened about this big robbery, but Xiao Xiao survived and is now working hard for the ZPartners investment consulting company founded by him and several alumni of Peking University. "The Art of War" said: "Don't be happy, don't be embarrassed, don't be extravagant, don't be afraid." With this responsibility, you can worship the general! This optimistic spirit and lofty ambition can make him go far!

However, the proportion of review students in Korean college entrance examination candidates is increasing year by year. In 20 14 years, the proportion of review students in the overall candidates was 19.6%, which increased to 23.2% this year. Many excellent students choose to re-prepare for the college entrance examination in order to be admitted to famous universities such as Seoul, Yanshi and South Korea.

In a word, it has incomparable advantages in inheritance and accumulation, international influence, financial strength, teachers and famous schools. After graduation, there will be obvious differences from ordinary universities in terms of choice opportunities, salary income, network resources and development prospects. If we get closer to the future, we will see the gold content of the first degree more clearly. Although it can be made up in the future, the first-Mover advantage of the first degree doomed it to be the first real watershed in life!
