How to get admitted to Tsinghua University

(1) Never say you have tried your best

I was very bad at sports in high school. I was terrible at running 1,000 meters and I always failed. After arriving at Tsinghua University, in the first physical education class, the teacher told us that we had to take a 3,000-meter long-distance test every year. If we failed to run, we would not be allowed to graduate, and our qualifications for research would be cancelled. what to do? So every night at 10:30, our self-study classroom closed, and there were more people on the playground. I ran for half an hour and then went back to the dormitory to continue studying. After practicing for a semester, I lost 40 pounds. During the final exam, I ran 3,000 meters in only 12 minutes and 56 seconds. The fattest person in our class also did it in 15 minutes. Finished running within. Tsinghua University’s motto of “continuous self-improvement” had a great impact on me. So never say you did your best. What is success? If you do something that people don't believe you can do, it's called success.

(2) How to squeeze time

If you go to Tsinghua University, you will see that all the students ride at a speed and almost all walk at a trot. As soon as you walk into the classroom from the school gate, you can read more books and do one more question than others. Over time, over time, you will have an absolute advantage in time. By making full use of the 10 minutes between classes, we can squeeze out nearly two hours a day and do one more set of questions than others. What everyone thinks about is using others' rest time to enrich themselves and give themselves an advantage in future competition. Students, don't think too much of Tsinghua students. Among Tsinghua students, at least 1/4 of the students have superior IQs. What they have more than you is just their attitude towards their future. Tsinghua students have a very awesome spiritual power. They can give up any temptation for the sake of their goals. Even on New Year's Eve, Tsinghua's self-study classrooms will be overcrowded. In the words of an American professor: "Students of Tsinghua, no Saturday, no Sunday, no holiday!" It is this spirit that forged the legend of Tsinghua. Otherwise it would be difficult to get into Tsinghua University.

(3) Put pressure on yourself

Only with huge pressure can there be huge motivation. Some students at Tsinghua University don't like studying that much, but Tsinghua University's requirements are extremely strict. If you fail one subject within four years, you will be disqualified from postgraduate study, and if you fail three subjects, you will drop out, so we all have to study like crazy. During my sophomore year, we had a summer semester for *** two weeks. On Monday morning of the first week, we had a two-hour class in a classroom and learned the computer VHDL language. After class, the teacher asked us to program a CPU with a main frequency of 30M before Friday. Everyone went crazy because they had no idea what he was talking about in the morning. Later we learned that this course takes one semester in the electronics department of other universities. But the teacher made it very clear, if you can't do it, you will fail. So everyone frantically ran to the library to borrow books, and went back to read them without sleep or food. On the first day, they couldn't understand, but on the second day they understood a little bit. On the third day, they programmed a few simple programs during the day, and then started formal programming at night. At 3 o'clock in the morning, I compiled a day plus an all-nighter on Thursday, and passed the acceptance at 8 o'clock in the morning on Friday. Before this, we didn't think we could do so much in such a short time, but we accomplished it under tremendous pressure.

(4) Emotional issues

The relationship in high school is very beautiful, and the feeling is very sweet. But I think falling in love in high school is too troublesome - you have to be secretive and cannot be known by teachers and parents, but you will definitely be discovered, and then you will be asked to talk again and again, and in the end you will just be bored, what a sweet thing The feeling is gone.

Even after going to college, most couples in Tsinghua break up by their senior year. Therefore, many of our college classmates feel that it is better to study peacefully than to worry about finding a girlfriend, so Tsinghua has "undergraduate monks" and "researchers". Monk" argument. It is these students who live an ascetic life that make Tsinghua's academic style well-known all over the world. At our age, it is much more meaningful to learn more about how to settle down and live a life than to seek those short-term sweetness. My advice to everyone is that we might as well be "high school monks" for three years, and we must not blame ourselves and be distressed in the end when we find that we have wasted too much time and energy.

(5) Don’t complain about bad teachers

The teachers at Tsinghua University are all great at doing research, but almost no teachers teach undergraduate students well. If no one tells you what to do, it would be abnormal for you not to do it. Once in a microcomputer principles class, the teacher said that he would use Protel to simulate the circuit in the class today. The classmates all said that this was the first time in our lives that we had heard of this software. The teacher said: "This is a must-have software for electronic engineers." He turned around and left. There was no other way, so we went back and stayed in the library for three days and finally learned this software. In a math class, the teacher asked us to go back and use MAT?-LAB to draw a three-dimensional figure. The classmates all said that they had never studied it - this seemed to be a required course in the mathematics department. The teacher only said: "Never studied it? Go back and study it!" We spent several days in the library, basically Got it figured out. Therefore, when you feel that there is something scientific that is not very good, you must not blame the objective conditions. Your own efforts are the cornerstone of success.

(6) A good body is the capital of everything

If students really want to fight for their ideals, they must exercise well. Tsinghua’s slogan is “50 years of healthy work for the motherland.” Therefore, the reason why Tsinghua’s physical education classes are so demanding and strict is that they force everyone to exercise well. Now, 20 people from our class have signed up to participate in the Beijing International Marathon this year (there are only 5,000 college students registered across the country, and 3,000 from Tsinghua University) - firstly, to experience it, and secondly, to have confidence in their endurance. It is recommended that everyone practice long-distance running, preferably 1,000 meters every day. Believe me, when you arrive at a first-class university and need to stay up late to do research, you will realize how important the physical health foundation you laid in high school is.
