Xihai University’s postgraduate re-examination process has begun.
Every university attaches great importance to the admission of graduate students, because the admission of graduate students is directly related to the source of students for scientific research, and even to the future development of the school.
Wang Hao's graduate student recruitment work is a top priority, because students who apply for Wang Hao's graduate school, especially those who enter the re-examination, have extremely amazing written test scores.
Not only did these students have amazing written test scores, they also came from prestigious domestic schools.
Among them, students applying for the mathematics major are from Shuimu University, Donggang University, Xijing University of Science and Technology and Sudong University, not to mention a confirmed foreign student, a talented student from Amerikan Ivy League University and Stanford University.
When it comes to admissions to the School of Science at Suimu University and Capital University, it doesn't seem to be a big deal, but it's different when it comes to graduate admissions at Xihai University.
This is mainly because the sources of students in colleges and universities vary greatly.
Even if Xihai University recruits lecturers, it is difficult to recruit doctoral students from top universities such as Suimu University and Capital University. For graduate student recruitment, recruiting undergraduates from top universities is even more difficult than recruiting PhD students from top universities.
Most of the universities where undergraduate students choose to study for graduate school will choose universities that are at the same level as or better than their undergraduate students. Otherwise, it seems that there is little point in studying for graduate school.
In fact, it is very clear when you look at the job market. Most companies attach great importance to the first degree. Undergraduate students from top universities are even more popular than graduate students from ordinary universities.
This is mainly because many people believe that the first degree means differences in wisdom and ability to a certain extent. The college entrance examination is a very fair screening platform. The results of students who can be admitted to top universities are very valuable.
In comparison, graduate students are worse.
Graduate students can be admitted through hard work, but for undergraduates from top universities, hard work accounts for a much smaller proportion.
For example, Shuimu University and Capital University admit many provincial champions every year.
Being able to get the top spot in a province is definitely something that can only be achieved through hard work. Even if you work ten times harder, without enough brain support, it is simply impossible to get the top score in the college entrance examination in the province.
Not to mention, in the past many years, many of the students admitted to the two universities were competitive students.
Mathematics Olympiads are not something you can win just by training. You must first have enough talent.
In scientific research, talent is very important.
In many highly technical jobs, talent is more important than hard work.
Xihai University attaches great importance to Wang Hao's recruitment of graduate students, and they have organized an interview expert group in advance.
Interviews for graduate students in the field of mathematics must be conducted with professors from the School of Science. Luan Haiping, dean of the School of Science, and Zhou Qingyuan, professor of mathematics, naturally entered the interview review team.
Two others joined, including Zhu Jianrong, director of the Science and Technology Department, and Yan Jin, president of Xihai University.
It’s not surprising that Zhu Jianrong joined the interview review team. He often participates in graduate student interviews.
Yan Jin is just interested.
As a university president, he wanted to join the interview team, so naturally no one would object.
This lineup is quite gorgeous.
Wang Hao was speechless when he saw the list of interview judges and muttered, "Whatever interview committee you want, I can do it myself..."
This sentence is very correct.
No matter what other interview review members think, the final decision-maker is Wang Hao himself.
…
Interviews for graduate students in mathematics begin first.
The interview location was a small office in the graduate school. When the interview time was approaching, several students who were participating in the re-examination had already arrived.
There are two girls and three boys among them.
There were two students from Donggang University sitting together, and the others were sitting alone and not talking.
There is a girl with pigtails who is very eye-catching, not because she is pretty, but because she smiles at everyone, and she looks like an outgoing girl.
Her name is Hu Lidan, from Xijing University of Science and Technology.
When he found that everyone was silent, Hu Lidan was the first to ask, "Are you all prepared for the interview? I don't know what will happen to Professor Wang's interview. I regret it now. I can get in with this score."
Shuimu University."
A boy next to him, named Xu Jie, nodded and said, "I also regret it a bit. I have already applied for it and there is nothing I can do. I have been very nervous these days and have been preparing for a long time."
"What have you prepared?" Hu Lidan asked curiously.
Xu Jie said, "Messenne prime numbers, Artin's conjecture and Kakutani conjecture. I downloaded several papers by Professor Wang Hao and looked at them one by one. Although I couldn't understand most of them, I still understood the general proof process."
Xu Jie's preparation surprised everyone else.
Hu Lidan couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "I thought I was well prepared, but I didn't expect you to be even more prepared than me."
"What have you prepared?" Xu Jie asked.
The other three students also looked over.
"I just carefully reviewed the content related to differential equations, and also looked at the content of differential equations at the graduate level." Hu Lidan explained, "I don't know what questions Professor Wang Hao will ask, but I think that as long as you study in a graduate school,
As long as there is research in the direction, Professor Wang Hao is best at partial differential equations, which is also his initial research direction, so I think..."
"Bala bala~~"
Hu Lidan said a lot in succession, which basically meant that Professor Wang Hao was probably asking about the content of partial differential equations.
After hearing this, others immediately felt that it made sense.
Anyone who has studied Wang Hao's achievements will know that he is good at partial differential equations and number theory, but it is difficult for undergraduates to learn how to study number theory.
Then it may be very important to review the content related to differential equations.
Chen Mengmeng sat in the corner, listening to the conversation between the two people, just like her name, feeling a little dazed.
She...wasn't prepared for anything.
She was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Northern Xinjiang Province four years ago. She applied for Wang Hao's graduate school purely because she felt it was no worse than studying at Shuimu University, and it was mainly 'close to home'.
Since it is no worse than studying at Shuimu University for graduate school and is closer to home, I naturally feel that it is very good.
So she signed up.
Chen Mengmeng did not make any preparations. She has been a talented academic since she was a child. She thought that as the former top scorer in the college entrance examination in Northern Xinjiang Province and an undergraduate at Shuimu University, she would have the opportunity to be directly admitted to the postgraduate school. She would be among the best even in the postgraduate entrance examination.
Among the small town exercisers, he is definitely outstanding.
How difficult can it be to take the postgraduate entrance examination?
This is Chen Mengmeng's simple thought, but now listening to other people's discussions, she has lost a little confidence and feels that she is indeed too arrogant.
yes!
How can Professor Wang Hao’s graduate students take the exam so well? You still need to prepare more for the re-examination!
…
Amid the chatter and apprehension of several students, the interview finally officially began.
The first interviewer was Xu Jie from Soochow University. When he entered, he saw five interviewing teachers.
Wang Hao, the youngest, sat on the edge.
The first person to ask a question was a little old man, "Please introduce yourself."
This is a normal question.
Xu Jie was well prepared for the interview. He immediately told what he had prepared and also talked about his practical experience in scientific research at the university.
The second questioner was Zhu Jianrong. He asked several questions in a row, "Are you planning to study for a Ph.D. after graduate school?"
"Why did you choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination instead of working directly? I see from your resume that you graduated from Sudong University, right? And your grades are quite good. It should be easy to find a good job."
"Do you have a definite career plan? For example, after completing your graduate studies at Xihai University, will you consider staying at the school to study for a Ph.D., and then continue to engage in research in the field of mathematics?"
Zhu Jianrong asked several questions in succession, all of which were expected.
The next questioner was Zhou Qingyuan. Zhou Qingyuan asked a professional question, "Let's talk about the solution of non-homogeneous partial differential equations. How many methods have you learned? Which equations can be solved?"
This question tests the students' mathematical level.
Xu Jie suddenly became a little nervous, and at the same time he admired Hu Lidan very much. He actually had a professional question about partial differential equations, but the person who asked him was not Wang Hao, but an unknown old professor.
His grades were still very good and he said something even though he was unprepared.
After Xu Jie finished everything, Zhou Qingyuan didn't know whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied, but just nodded lightly.
Luan Haiping's question was very direct, "Give me a reason to admit you."
