Studying abroad for graduate school, how important is the school ranking

Generally, the top 50 schools don't need to look at the majors, and the reputation is good, as long as the majors are not very bad. In the back of the school, the major is particularly important, but it also depends on the reputation of the school in the enterprise or academia, if the reputation is not particularly good, no matter how good the major is, you must consider it.

In general, fame is greater than ranking. The overall ranking of schools with good reputations is greater than the professional ranking. The general school major ranking is greater than the overall ranking. Some are average, but many majors are very good, and students and companies in the circle will think this is very strong when they hear it.

Because there are many factors in the ranking, it is certainly not comprehensive in terms of rankings alone, and many good schools have not yet been ranked, so it is important to look at the reputation.

First of all, there is no difference between domestic postgraduate entrance examination and studying abroad, which is good and which is bad, and each has its own advantages.

Domestic: Generally, candidates focus on preparing for the graduate school entrance examination from the third year, and some students start to prepare as soon as they enter the school. Although the number of graduate students admitted nationwide has increased from 10,000 in 1999 to 460,000 in 2010, the number of applicants has also increased from 10,000 in 1999 to 1.4 million in 2010, with an admission rate of about 30%.

Although the weight of the re-examination is gradually increasing, the written test score is still the first level that must be passed, and it is still the mode of "one test for life".

Abroad: Graduate studies abroad are generally application-based, and as long as you have an undergraduate degree, you can apply. The language requirements are very clear, English countries must have at least IELTS, TOEFL, GRE scores, to go to small language countries also have exam requirements, or must read a certain number of hours of language, with the country's language foundation.

If you don't have a language score, you need to go abroad to study the language for half a year to a year, which is expensive. Overseas universities pay more attention to the average grade at the undergraduate level, and generally better foreign universities require the average grade point of students from key Chinese universities to be above 80 points, that is, the average grade point of students from non-key universities is above 80 points, that is, the average score is above 88 points.
