Isn't it "985" and "211".West Lake University ushered in the first 60 undergraduate students

West Lake University publicly recruited undergraduates for the first time this year

60 freshmen reported to school today

July 31st

West Lake University will hold the starting ceremony of the first undergraduate freshman

West Lake University is the first new research university organized by social forces and supported by the country. It was established in Hangzhou, Zhejiang in October 2018. Starting from holding graduate education, the school has enrolled 921 doctoral students worldwide for 5 years. In March of this year, West Lake University announced that it would recruit undergraduates for the first time, only enrolling in Zhejiang Province, and launched a small -scale undergraduate enrollment pilot on the "West Lake University Innovation Class". There are no more than 60 enrollment, and the qualified high schools and senior high school students can apply for the exam. Innovative classes adopt the recruitment model based on the college entrance examination, through the school's preliminary examination, unified college entrance examination, and school retest assessment selection.

As soon as the news came out, the arguments were crowded. Although West Lake University does not have the title of "985" and "211", and it is not a "double first -class" key construction university, since the establishment of the school, it has attracted much attention because of its innovative education model, top teachers and high -quality scientific research environment. This time, the first undergraduate students attracted many top students to apply for the exam.

The school's independent selection, based on the college entrance examination recruitment of the first undergraduate

On March 18, West Lake University opened online registration channel. Jia Yifei, who was studying in Shaoxing Chunhui Middle School in high school, couldn't wait, and reported his name as soon as he opened the channel. Sun Zhengtao studied at Fuyang Middle School in Hangzhou. He had only been in high school, and he had not even seriously considered the issue of choosing school selection in college entrance examinations. The news of recruiting undergraduates issued by West Lake University came very suddenly, especially after I heard that after the senior high school students could apply for the exam, he was in a mess. "Before that, I didn't know much about West Lake University. I only knew that it was a new type of research university, mainly engaged in scientific research." He signed up with a trial attitude, and he had an extra opportunity to further studies outside the college entrance examination.

On April 20, Jia Yifei participated in the first online test, and one afternoon completed the three test papers: mathematics, physics, and chemistry. "The perspective of the question is sometimes tricky, which is different from the college entrance examination questions that I usually have in contact. Sun Zhengtao also feels difficult. "For example, mathematics, in the college test questions, the ninth and tenth finale questions in the selection questions are the most difficult. The test papers of West Lake University are so difficult." There is a physical question. He left a deep impression that five consecutive questions were issued in the same information framework. First, a large paragraph of information was given, which is equivalent to setting up a new situation, and then inferring all kinds of problems. "I have never seen such a question type, nor is it the content of the college entrance examination."

After the retesting arrangements, from June 17th to June 19th, for a total of 3 days, the students slept in school for 2 nights and lived in the student dormitory. On the first day, the doctoral students of Xihu University brought them to the campus and met with the principal. The next day's written test focuses on studying tests, first listening to lectures first, and directly examining the classroom content after class. A total of three subjects were examined in a total of mathematics, physics and English. The third day is the interview. There are two forms of "one -to -one" interview and group discussion.

On June 25, the re -examination results of the West Lake University and the college entrance examination scores were scored the same day. The control line can be accepted by West Lake University. At the end of June, Jia Yifei and Sun Zhengtao received a text message from the admission notice from Shi Yigong, the president of Xihu University.

Choose West Lake University's gains and losses

Do you choose to apply for West Lake University? For many students who have been admitted to the first innovative class, it was a problem that was repeated.

The entanglement occurs before the retest. The first test was shortlisted for 300 people. After the re -examination was in the college entrance examination, Jia Yifei found that many students gave up the chance of re -examination. "If you take the re -examination, it is equivalent to confirming the volunteer. After passing the exam, there is no chance to regret it, and he cannot apply for other schools." Jia Yifei said that he talked to some students who applied for the exam and played a good classmate in the college entrance examination. In the process of college entrance examination, the previous traditional 985 college, "After all, the educational model of West Lake University is a new thing, and it is the first year to recruit undergraduates. The good 985 may be a more secure choice."

At the first innovation class recruited by West Lake University, only 4 of the 60 people were one of the 60 people. Zheng Shuleyi was one of them. She and Sun Zhengtao are also a senior high school student. In the physical competition class, in her concept, "West Lake University is very innovative and energetic, and is not the same as traditional universities." Unexpectedly, the first test was successfully passed. Before the retest, Dad was anxious and tried to oppose her to continue the exam. "What schools are West Lake University? I haven't heard of it. You can get the results of Fudan and Jiaotong University next year. Why should you go to such a university in advance?" Later The school teacher repeatedly communicated with his father and changed his thoughts. After being admitted to West Lake University, the relatives and elders at home knew that she was directly promoted to school after her senior high school, but she was amazed, but I learned that the West Lake University was silent. "They are silent because they don't understand and don't know what to say."

Students who choose to apply for West Lake University, because the school itself is a research university, according to the training plan announced by the school, it will basically explore on the road of scientific research by default. However, when scientific research is not dull, you need to stay on campus for a longer time. Zhu Junzheng, who was studying in Haining High School in Jiaxing in high school. His parents did not support him at the beginning of his application for him. "They are afraid that the road of scientific research is too lonely and hard. I also hope that I will do a stable job in the company after graduating from college. "Can you say that you can take the road of scientific research." Chang Yuheng, who also graduated from Haining High School, has other concerns. He is interested in scientific research, but he does not know if he is suitable and whether he can persist. Sun Zhengtao is also worried about his future employment situation. "If you consider the worst results, do not achieve any achievements in scientific research. What should I do if I graduate?" Xihu University currently faces the five disciplines of undergraduate enrollment, which are physics and chemistry , Biological science, material science and engineering, and electronic information engineering, relatively speaking, are not the so -called hottest and profitable majors. Chang Yuheng has also seen some posts on the Internet. It is written by institutions engaged in student career planning. "They do not recommend West Lake University. In the recruitment market, school recognition is not high."

It is not only one way scientific research

The students' doubts have caused waves of discussions as early as the notice of recruiting the first undergraduate students at West Lake University.

The principle of undergraduate training of Xihu University is "thick foundation and wide caliber." After the students enter school, they will receive general education and large -scale training in the first and second stages. At the end of the second semester of the second grade of the university, they can be selected in biological science, physics, chemistry, electronic information engineering, material science and engineering in the second grade of college Specific majors in the future. All students can participate in one semester or one -year curriculum study or project research overseas in the first semester of sophomore sophomores.

For the first undergraduate students recruited this time, as long as the grades are qualified, students can choose to enter the doctoral stage directly in the next semester. This also means that students can complete the training of this blog at West Lake University. They get a doctorate degree in 8 years, which greatly shortens the time required to study for a doctorate degree.

On the evening of March 19 this year, Shi Yigong appeared in the live broadcast room, and preached the first enrollment of the first undergraduate innovation class of West Lake University. The questions raised by the onlookers quickly spread the screen: Why only recruit 5 majors? What should I do if I don't want to continue in the middle of this Bo Lian?

Shi Yigong patiently explained. He heard that "biochemical ring material" was "four major sky pit" not long ago. Because these majors were not easy to employ, the salary was low after graduation. The five majors recruited by Xihu University this time account for three seats in the "Four Great Heavenly Pit". "The second and senior high school students need to consider the income after graduation. Dreams and interests are the key to the ultimate talent." Shi Yigong recognized that in science or other fields, interest drivers are the most important.

In addition, regarding this blog continuous reading, in the next semester of junior year, if the students decided to read the blog, there were three options under the premise of fully communicating with the college and academic tutor: staying at West Lake University for a doctorate degree, go to overseas universities to study doctors. Degree, or doctoral degrees in other domestic universities, academic mentors will help write recommendations, introduce schools and mentors. The school also supports the transfer, graduation or master's degree. "Although West Lake University hopes that every student will take the road of scientists, it will not only provide one road." Shi Yigong said.

Most of the students of the first West Lake University Innovation Class are interested in scientific research. They have gone through a process of active acceptance for the current training plan of the school. Sun Zhengtao had planned to have been in high school, and then did scientific research. At that time, his chemical teacher graduated from the Department of Chemistry of Xiamen University and often told him the latest research results in the world and the development of related disciplines in China. Jia Yifei won the first prize of the information contest in 2019. As he deepened his studies, he determined his efforts early, hoping that he could engage in power design and chip design related industries in the future. Zhu Junzheng was almost obsessed with physics. He often used his spare time to study university textbooks. There was a physical question about sports. He spent eight hours to answer. "It feels like three words, a sense of accomplishment." Say.

Eventually they persuaded them to be the top educational and teaching resources of Xihu University. On the first day of the retest, when Zheng Shulei visited the campus, he was very excited. "I think this is a very new campus with a large area and fewer people. It can be seen that it has just been built." She said with a smile. The environment is very good. "Of course, more importantly, West Lake University has formed an international teacher team with 20 chair professors and a total of 184 academic talents. "Many big cows in the scientific community give us class, which is too attractive." Chang Yuheng said.

It is understood that these undergraduates went to the newly completed West Lake University Yunu Campus to report today. Due to the full English lectures in the innovation class, a monthly English adaptation study will be conducted, and then the undergraduate learning will be started.
