Actually, speaking of it, I was too anxious. After all, we are not that familiar with each other. It was really embarrassing for him to answer my question as soon as we met.
Therefore, I am very grateful to Shang Longxing, "Thank you, Director Shang, thank you for the reminder."
Now I also understand that Shang Longxing didn't say anything just now because he had such scruples.
She smiled and said: "Director Feng, after all, we all graduated from colleges and universities, so we naturally have a sense of intimacy. I also see that you are too anxious, so I can't help but remind you directly. Director Feng, can you
Don't blame me."
I hurriedly said: "How could it be? It's not even late for me to thank you."
She immediately stood up from her chair, smiled and said to me: "Director Feng, please take more care of me in the future."
I also stood up and said, "Let's take care of each other. Didn't you say that we are all graduates of colleges and universities?"
She burst out laughing suddenly, "Director Feng, you were the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department when you were at the Medical University Affiliated Hospital, right? Why do I feel like calling you like this now is like going to your previous hospital?"
I looked at her in shock, "Have you been to our hospital before?"
She smiled and said, "I am a woman, so I must have been there. At that time, I saw you sitting in the outpatient clinic, and I thought to myself: Why do male doctors come to see gynecology? Haha!"
After saying that, she ran out immediately, leaving me alone in the office stunned.
At this moment, I was thinking: She can’t be my patient, right? Why don’t I have any impression of her? But it’s hard to say, after all, I used to see so many patients every day, maybe she is really my patient.
It's hard to say.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: Well, everything in the past is in the past. From now on, I will have nothing to do with the profession of obstetrics and gynecology.
I didn't ask the office director to notify the person I wanted to talk to. Instead, I found the phone book directly from the drawer and called the director of the Undergraduate Admissions Office. The full name of this office is the General Higher Education Admissions Office.
He is a middle-aged man, and I saw him last night.
"Director Liang, please come to my office building. My name is Feng Xiao." I said after the call was connected.
"Okay. I'll be right back," he said on the other end of the phone.
I immediately hung up the phone.
Now, I suddenly thought of the time when Secretary Qiu and Director Zou called me, and I couldn't help but think: Actually, they didn't do that on purpose, it's just that this is what superiors do. I don't do the same now.
Is this like this? It’s a natural thing, because I don’t think I did it deliberately, nor did I do it to show off.
He came quickly, holding a notebook in his hand.
I asked him to sit down on the chair opposite the desk. At this moment, he was just like when I went to report to Director Zou.
At this moment, he was sitting in front of me. I smiled and said to him: "Director Liang, don't be so nervous. I don't need you to record anything. I invited you here because I want to know more about your work."
.As you know, I have not had any contact with admissions work before, so I feel very unfamiliar now. Director Liang, please tell me about the admissions procedures and routine work of ordinary universities."
He smiled at me and put the notebook in his hand on the table, and then said: "Director Feng, our work is actually very simple. Generally speaking, it is like this. In early August every year, according to the regulations of the State Education Commission,
The first batch of admissions are the candidates who have volunteered in advance, including admissions to military academies, art colleges, normal colleges and other colleges and universities. Generally speaking, the principle of admission is from high scores to low scores.
The same is true for the subsequent admission principles. Then there are the first batch of undergraduates and the second batch of undergraduates, then the first batch of undergraduates from higher vocational colleges, and finally the admission of junior colleges. Anyway, the score line is there, and the admission work is done every year
It went relatively smoothly.”
As soon as he said this, I basically understood it, at least the entire admission process. However, I felt that his answer was still too general, so I asked, "So, how are these score lines determined?"
He replied: "Director Feng, you have never been exposed to admissions work before, but you asked this question very well. That's right, when we admit, the State Education Commission will make plans in advance for the admission quota for each grade. Of course,
, this plan was formulated after we applied to the State Education Commission in advance. When we applied for the plan, we had to combine several aspects. First, the number of people taking the college entrance examination in our Jiangnan Province this year. Second, the various provinces and cities across the country are preparing to take the college entrance examination in our country.
How many students will be admitted in Jiangnan Province? The State Education Commission will then formulate specific enrollment plans based on the needs of colleges and universities across the country. In other words, the enrollment plans for each grade are numerically determined in advance. For example, this year, there are 30 students taking the college entrance examination in our province.
There are more than 60,000 people. The State Education Commission has given us enrollment plans for 310,000 people. Of course, these enrollment plans are composed of all the people in the country who are preparing to enroll students in our Jiangnan Province. This is the first concept. The second concept
It’s the question you just asked, that is, how to determine the score line. According to regulations, when we recruit students, we raise grades based on a ratio of 120%. For example, last year, the State Education Commission gave us 80,000
As an indicator for a book, the promotion ratio of our book is 96,000 copies, so the score line for a book is the position from the first place to the 96,000th place. Of course, here
There are also liberal arts and sciences, and the score lines for liberal arts and sciences are different. What I just said was just an analogy. Director Feng, do you understand what I said?"
I nodded.
He continued: "The admissions for second-level courses are the same as those for other grades. In short, the score line is determined in this way. In other words, the score line is not determined by the government or a certain person, but by the overall test scores of the candidates.
.The score line issue cannot be faked. Especially after the recent implementation of computerized admissions, every year as long as we enter the candidate's scores and enrollment plan, and then enter the promotion ratio, the score line will be out at once. The files of candidates below the score line are simply
Can't enter the admission hall. There is another problem here, that is, the score lines of each school are also different. For example, our Jiangnan University admission, if they plan to enroll a hundred students this year, then their score lines are based on their application.
Among the school's candidates, counting from the first to the 120th, the score of the 120th student is their score line. The same is true for the others, and all of this is done by the computer.
of."
I seemed to understand, "In other words, if Jiangnan University plans to admit 100 students this year, it will have to submit 120 applications. There seems to be a problem here, because there are only 100 students.
plan, then twenty people must fail. Is that right?”
He nodded and said: "That's right. This is also to achieve the purpose of merit-based admission."
I felt like something was wrong, "So, how do you determine the twenty people who dropped out of the list?"
He replied: "There is another principle here. As long as the candidates are more than 20 points higher than the admission score of a certain school, if they want to be withdrawn, the school must explain the reasons to us. This is also to ensure high scores.
Students will not be dismissed at will."
I looked at him and said, "Then tell me, under normal circumstances, what proportion of the candidates who apply for a certain school have less than these 20 points?"
He was stunned for a moment, and then answered me: "It's hard to say, but it probably accounts for about 40%."
I understood more clearly, "In other words, if a school's enrollment quota is 100 students, there will be about 40 candidates who do not need to explain the reasons for withdrawal. Is that so? That is to say
, colleges and universities can decide at will who the twenty candidates will be withdrawn, right?"
He replied: "That's right."
I immediately felt that the problem here was too big, "Director Liang, is this regulation issued by the state?"
He said: "It is stipulated by the National Education Commission. As I said before, the purpose is to ensure the right to merit-based admission to colleges and universities."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The above policy is good, but each university will strictly implement it. Maybe such a policy will become a loophole for seeking power for personal gain."
He smiled bitterly and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Our country is originally a humane society. The same is true for other industries. There are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Besides, such things do not violate relevant regulations."
I sighed: "From this, I can say with certainty that those candidates who were withdrawn must be those who have nothing to do with it. Is that right?"
He smiled and said nothing.
I can only sigh: There is really nothing we can do about it. At least what colleges and universities do does not violate the regulations. The Chinese are actually too smart. No matter how good the rules and regulations are, we can find loopholes, and such loopholes
It is really difficult to make up for it. For example, in this matter, the State Education Commission cannot change such regulations just to plug such loopholes, because in that case, merit-based admissions to colleges and universities will not be realized, and colleges and universities will have
That's said.
"So Director Liang, are there any other regulations in admissions?" I asked again after thinking about it.
He shook his head and said: "That's probably it."
I nodded and said, "In other words, the admissions policies formulated by the state are generally fair and fair. Right?"
He smiled and said: "You can put it like this. But...but now some colleges and universities have begun to engage in unplanned enrollment, which is what people often call targeted recruitment. This is not fair."
I looked at him, "Oh? What's going on? What on earth is going on?"
He replied: "It's like this. After one phase of admissions, some colleges and universities found that the enrollment quotas we gave them were not enough to meet their needs for certain majors that year, so they reported to us and asked us to increase some quotas."
I was confused and asked, "What does this mean?"
He lowered his voice and said, "Director Feng, this is actually a private land set up by various colleges and universities. Each college charges 50,000 yuan to recruit students."
I was immediately horrified, "Fifty thousand? How many such unplanned enrollment quotas does a university have in a year? What are the standards for such planned enrollment?"
He replied: "A university has about dozens of such places every year. The standard for such unplanned enrollment is very simple, as long as it reaches the score line of a certain level in our province. For example, Jiangnan University, our Jiangnan University last year
The score line for the provincial first-level exam is 511 points, while the score line for Jiangnan University is 535 points. So for this part of the plan, as long as the candidate’s score reaches 511 points or above, it will be enough.
.”
I completely understood and was shocked, "This, this is all about connections. Whoever has connections can be admitted by a few dozen points lower than a certain college. Moreover, each college only has dozens of places. For colleges and universities,
Although it can increase your income by millions, people who can come up with such a quota will definitely get rich, right?"
He smiled and said, "I don't know then. But colleges and universities can't make that much money."
I looked at him in astonishment again, but after a moment I suddenly understood - this is also a chain of interests. (To be continued)
