What are the architectural research experiences of South China University of Technology?

Personal introduction: I am a senior 2 1 working in China. The undergraduate course is double non-one, the major has been evaluated, and the comprehensive grade ranks fifth, on the edge of the insurance research. The schools that received the offer included South China University of Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, Nanjing University, Dalian University of Technology and Wuhan University. I share my research experience from several aspects, hoping to help everyone!

Waiting for admission notice

letter of admission

1. Postgraduate or graduate school

First of all, a few words to the marginal people of Baoyan: Success is for those who are prepared. Don't give up on yourself just because you are on the edge of the insurance research, and don't do any preparatory work. Go ahead. Don't stop because of anxiety. Believe in yourself.

Prospective applicant:

If you can get the research quota, you should start collecting the relevant information of the research in the third year of senior high school, and start preparing to participate in the summer training camps of various schools and the subsequent exemption before upgrading.

Marginalized people in insurance research;

For those who are on the edge of research, the whole process of research is really very difficult. After my senior year, I began to realize that I was a marginal person in insurance research. After careful consideration, I decided to pay attention to postgraduate entrance examination and postgraduate insurance. Before the insurance research began, I mainly studied the content of postgraduate entrance examination, gave up attending summer camp and focused on pre-promotion and exemption from examination. Because of the edge of the ranking, summer camps are not dominant. If you don't get the number of places for insurance research, the postgraduate entrance examination will also be affected; Before the pre-exemption test begins, the research ranking of the school will be announced, and everyone can concentrate on preparing for the research. However, there is a limit to taking both aspects into account at the same time. At this time, we must adjust our mentality, believe in ourselves, try our best and not let ourselves regret it.

Two. About school choice

1. Choose institutions in advance: the choice of majors and institutions serves personal planning. If you want to change careers or take exams in the future, you can consider choosing a school with a higher comprehensive ranking, ranging from C9 to 985,211; If you want to continue this major, it is recommended to choose a school with a higher professional evaluation ranking. Architecture gives priority to the old eight schools: Tsinghua University, Southeast University, Tongji University, Tianjin University, South China University of Technology, Chongqing University, Harbin Jianzhu University and Xi University of Architecture and Technology. Secondly, eight new schools were established: Zhejiang University, Hunan University, shenyang jianzhu university, Dalian University of Technology, Huaqiao University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Shanghai Jiaotong University and Nanjing University. Choose a school according to your own situation, and consider your favorite city, research direction or tutor.

2. Step-by-step school selection: Evaluate the competitiveness of majors and individuals in undergraduate colleges and suggest step-by-step school selection. I divide the schools that want to apply for graduate school into three steps. The first step is the institutions that want to sprint, Tongji, Southeast University, Zhejiang University and Tianjin University; The second step is the school where seniors and sisters used to study, South China University of Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, Chongqing University and so on. The third step is Baodi School, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Nanjing University, Dalian University of Technology, shenyang jianzhu university and so on.

Three. R&D preparation and time planning (1.1-1.1)

1. Before senior year 1 month (early accumulation stage):

Improve the credit score and clarify the rules of school bonus points;

Insurance research-related courses must be carefully studied in order to get high marks, and to improve their GPA ranking can ensure the number of places and enhance their competitiveness in the audit of foreign schools. After all, it's important to keep your GPA stable. Don't relax. But remember not to blindly measure, quality is what teachers value. ?

Partial report card

Participate in more competitions:

Strive to participate in the competition to increase the possibility of extra points, and try to choose purposefully. If you can get the best ranking, if you can't get it, you can also put it in the collection, saving the production time of the collection. Fortunately, during this period, I took part in two competitions and got a good ranking. The honorary nomination prize of 2020evolo Skyscraper Competition and the third prize of Grain Rain Cup Competition also attracted teachers' attention during the interview.

Improve English ability:

Almost all school interviews will include English proficiency tests, so English must not be relaxed. Level 6 can be brushed as high as it can. And the training of oral English ability on weekdays.

English practice reference materials

2. Senior winter vacation 1. 1-3. 1 (basic preparation stage):

Personal basic information preparation:

Some trivial basic data must be sorted out in advance, and the original electronic version must be scanned and saved. Save time for the early promotion of Haitou Free School in the later period. Award-winning certificate, CET-4 and CET-6 certificate, student status certificate, photo of ID card, resume, personal statement, recommendation letter from tutor, etc.

Personal honor arrangement

Professional knowledge learning:

You can review relevant professional books in winter vacation and form your own logical framework, because some interviews will still encounter professional-related knowledge problems. (but they are all relatively basic)

Reference materials for specialized courses:

History of foreign architecture-illustrated history of foreign modern architecture, history of foreign architecture and history of foreign architecture.

Reference materials of foreign architectural history

The History of Ancient Architecture —— A Study on Geomantic Theory, the History of Ancient Architecture in China and the Illustration of Ancient Architecture in China?

Reference materials of ancient architectural history

Building Structure-Southeast University Edition, Chongqing University Edition

Building structure reference materials

Quick question learning:

Whether it's postgraduate entrance examination or postgraduate entrance examination, I think this part of the study is essential. Many schools, such as Harbin Institute of Technology, Southeast, Tongji, etc., will participate in summer camps and be exempted from exams before upgrading.

At the same time, students who are preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination don't have to worry too much, because the quick question of insurance research is still simpler than the postgraduate entrance examination. For students with a general hand-drawn foundation, it is recommended to start contact and ask questions in winter vacation.

3. Advanced Spring 3. 1-5. 1 (important preparation stage):

Prepare a portfolio:

Because the postgraduate entrance examination and the postgraduate entrance examination were prepared at the same time, and the overall effect of the previous curriculum design and competition works was acceptable, there were not many places that needed major changes, so I actually didn't have much time left for my portfolio, and I began to rearrange my works and redraw some drawings at the end of July. After finishing it, show it to the seniors and sisters who had previously studied in Bao Yan, and collect suggestions for revision. Don't be embarrassed! ! (Students who have the ability still suggest that the earlier the portfolio starts, the better. After all, the more time, the higher the degree of completion. )

It is suggested to do the basic work well in advance, select the works to be put into the portfolio in advance, be familiar with the contents of your own works (make clear what needs to be deleted in the works), learn the ID, and consciously collect the typesetting of your favorite portfolio at ordinary times.

Personal part of the combined presentation

Interview questions:

After getting the school quota, I began to prepare for the interview. School interviews are mainly divided into ppt self-introduction (4 minutes, 5 minutes, 6 minutes, etc. ) and interview questions.

Outline of interview questions

The interview questions are divided into five parts (self-introduction, English questions, portfolio-related questions, undergraduate schools and target schools, industry frontier dynamic issues) to sort out the questions and establish my own question base. Try to prepare each part in Chinese and English. Then recite it crazily, and try to ensure that all the prepared questions are memorized thoroughly, so as to be used flexibly in the interview.

Even so, you are likely to be asked unprepared questions in the interview, so you can use prepared questions flexibly to answer them. After each interview, make a reply and sort out the prepared questions.

Preparation of handwritten interview questions

(1)PPT self-introduction: personal introduction+learning experience+award-winning experience +2-3 personal works+personal hobbies+future planning, etc.

(2) Self-introduction: both Chinese and English should be prepared. 1 minute, 3 minutes. You can refer to the self-introduction template on Zhihu.

(3) English questions: mainly refer to IELTS speaking questions. Baidu search IELTS speaking questions to sort out the answers.

Baidu search

(4) Portfolio problem: Be sure to have a comprehensive and detailed understanding of your portfolio. Be familiar with the preliminary investigation process, design highlights, design process and some architectural design points of this work.

(5) Undergraduate school, target school related: teaching philosophy, curriculum design, school architectural design, campus planning, favorite and least favorite subjects, professors, etc.

(6) Dynamic issues in the forefront of the industry: pay attention to tutor's papers and architectural journals of some target schools.

Preparation of electronic interview questions

(7) Reference books for architecture-related majors: further understanding of behavior and space, city and architecture. Understand the methods of space design. In the interview, you will often encounter questions such as your favorite architectural books or what books you have read recently. Choosing these professional books will leave a good impression on the interviewer.

Information collection:

Prepare for the next Haitou Summer Camp and the "Nine Push". Collect summer camp notices and announcements from college enrollment websites and official accounts of Baoyan WeChat. Effective ways are: official website, registration website, official account of Baoyan WeChat, Baoyan Experience Post, etc.

4. Senior Spring 5. 1-8. 1 (Haitou and summer camp stage):

If you can get the title of excellent student in summer camp, you don't have to participate in the promotion in September. After you got the promotion qualification in our school, your research was basically successful. So summer camp is actually an important step in your conservation research. Use the summer camp to get your own guaranteed school places, and you can bravely sprint the school when you are "pushing nine times"!

5. 1-6. 1 You can usually start submitting application materials.

6. 1-7. 1 anxiously waiting for the admission notice, informing them to prepare for the summer camp interview again.

7. 1-8. 1 Participate in the summer camps of various schools, wait for the results of the summer camps and deliver the goods at the same time.

Summer camp schedule

5. Senior 8. 1- 10. 1 (Shanghai investment participates in the "Nine Push" stage)

Students who fail to pass the summer camp should not be anxious. The success rate of "Nine Push" is much higher than that of summer camp. Follow the above-mentioned method of selecting schools step by step and attend as many interviews as possible. Students who get an offer in summer camp can try their best to sprint their favorite colleges.

8. 1-9. 1 Haitou signed up for the "Nine Pushes" of various schools and guaranteed to get the postgraduate places of their own schools.

9. 1- 10. 1 Participate in the "Nine Push" of the notified school.

Retest notice

6. In June of the fifth year, 5438+00 (fill in the insurance research system)

I got the quota of our school, the summer camp and the offer of "Nine Push". At this point, the exemption trip is over, and then I wait for the system to open and fill in the system. First, register Xuexin.com's account and log in to the system: (/account/preregister.action).

Fill in personal information and upload personal photos as required. Then pay the registration fee online. After the filing system is opened, students who are exempted from the test registration can fill in three parallel volunteer in the system at the same time, and no modification is allowed within 48 hours after each voluntary submission. If the volunteer fails to pass the exemption test, students can fill in other volunteers. Volunteers will receive a re-examination notice in the system. After the re-examination is passed, you will receive a "pending admission" notice in the system. Click OK to accept in the system, and you will be admitted successfully!

Four. Pre-exemption process of South China University of Technology

1. Preparation for tax exemption in advance:

Because I am on the edge of the postgraduate study, the focus of my summer vacation is on the quick questions and theories of postgraduate study. I finished my portfolio in my spare time and didn't attend summer camp, but I have been collecting information. It is suggested that Baoyan Edge can try to participate in the summer camp of its own postgraduate school, because many schools will have preferential policies for outstanding campers.

After getting the school quota in early September, time was tight and I decided to take the form of sea investment. Pay attention to official website of each target school and ensure the promotion of official WeChat account. Collect the registration time of pre-promotion exemption in various schools extensively, and fill in the registration form on the research and recruitment website of various schools. Because each school needs different materials, the preparation made in the early stage plays a great role and can save a lot of time. And at this stage, we only need basic information, not portfolio and resume, so we must make good use of it and register for various schools quickly. After registration, contact the tutor by modifying the portfolio.

Prepare personal quick questions by hand drawing.

2. Exemption from advance notice:

South China University of Technology directly confirmed the re-examination in the official website school registration system, which only took two days. If it is not confirmed in time, it will not be eligible to participate in the pre-promotion exemption. This is extremely unfavorable to the students in Haitou School, because it is difficult to see the notice from every school. I've always kept my email. I really only see official website once in a while, and I almost missed the second interview notice. (So, I want to remind you that all the official website you signed up for should be set in your favorites, so that you can check it quickly every day to prevent missing key information. After confirming the second interview, you are waiting for the notice, and the notice about the second interview is also displayed in the registration system. Please check it carefully. I didn't read it carefully at first, until two days before the interview, I found a new interview requirement, which changed from last year's 15 page ppt to 20 pages PPT, so I stayed up late to revise the content urgently. (So everyone must be careful. )

Re-inspection requirements

3. Exemption from early interview:

The overall process of pre-promotion and interview-free is basically the same as last year. First of all, an English question, a PPT introduction within 5 minutes and 20 pages, and several Chinese questions.

Q 1: English question: South China University of Technology is still very kind. English questions are basically in the form of Chinese questions and then English answers, which reduces the difficulty. My question is an introduction to the campus design of an undergraduate school. I happen to have a work that is a school design, so this is a better question I prepared.

Q2: Self-introduction: According to the control time practiced in advance, a 5-minute and 20-page PPT is enough. Next is the Chinese question. The three questions are all about the works in PPT, one for each work and one for each question, but they are all very detailed and beyond my scope of preparation. At this time, I have to calm down and think about it before answering.

Q3: I really haven't prepared detailed design questions in the design of Chinese medicine hospital in my portfolio, so I can only answer them briefly. So remind everyone that the design specifications of the highlights of their own monomer design still need to be understood. Some questions that you can't name yourself can be found in the building data set.

Architectural design data set

Q4: Can my concept competition work really come true? Have you considered this aspect in your design? I didn't think of that either. As we all know, we seldom consider whether we can really create this problem in a concept competition, but we can't directly tell the teacher that we haven't thought about it, so we used our quick wits to translate the teacher's question to answer this question from the shape rather than the structure, and the teacher actually understood that this was a concept competition and didn't embarrass me any more. Don't say no directly when you encounter a problem that you can't. It's always good to translate the question and say something you know. After all, the students studying in Baoyan are excellent, and the teachers will deliberately embarrass everyone. )

Q5: A small problem in the design collection of another competition work is much milder than the first two, but it also examines your familiarity with your own work.

Re-examination scores announced

4. Contact your mentor:

The interview is over, and the next step is to wait for the list to be released and contact the tutor. Over the years, Chinese workers have to sign a two-way form with their tutors. Therefore, it is really important to choose a tutor. It is more direct to contact the tutor offline before. This year, I changed to online jet lag, and the summer camp chose many tutors. Many students have also been hit hard, because the tutors who have to contact basically are full. So be sure to contact the teacher as soon as possible. Moreover, after the results come out, the Chinese Trade Union will give you a list of the number of tutors, which contains the level, direction, telephone number and number of all tutors.

Official website announced the list of tutors.

There are several points in time to contact the teacher:

A. Before and after the summer camp: This part of the time is the time to contact the tutor for the summer camp students.

B. After the list of summer camps is announced, students who have been exempted from the exam in advance can start to contact their tutors at this time, and some teachers will have spare places because their original classmates have dropped pigeons.

C before and after the exemption in advance: because it is closer to the retest time, it is easier to get a reply. At this time, I also contacted three teachers by email, and there was basically no reply. The reply I got was that I would contact them after the second interview results came out, but don't be discouraged. This is normal. Students who are more active can send text messages when there is no reply to the email. )

D. After the pre-promotion exemption list is announced: contact the tutor immediately, and don't delay for a minute. It is recommended to send a text message or call directly. A teacher is free for 5 minutes. At this time, we must hurry and race against time, because all the students are contacting the tutor. To tell the truth, I missed the opportunity because I was a little Buddhist at first. First, I contacted my former tutor, but I was told that I had signed a two-way form with a classmate who flew directly to Guangzhou. I suddenly realized that I was passive because I didn't have the courage. Many teachers are full, so I call them one by one directly with the list of tutors. Don't panic at this time, because there can't be any more mentors. At this time, if you pass the second interview, what are you afraid of? You must try your best to fight for it! After a lot of phone calls, I finally found my tutor, and I was relieved when I signed the two-way form. It is strongly recommended that you make a list of the tutors you want to choose before choosing them. There are many tutors of South China University of Technology. It is not too much to choose 20 in order of preference, because it is really not enough to find the real connection, and it takes time to get to know the new tutor again. )

5. System report:

At this point, my test-free trip is over, and I'm waiting for the system to open and fill in.

System report

Verb (abbreviation of verb) preventive measures

1. Make a research plan as soon as you get the research quota. Anxiety and helplessness are inevitable, but you must calm yourself down and have confidence. After all, getting the quota shows that you are already excellent!

2. According to my personal experience this year, I would like to remind Baoyanbian that if I have the ability to strive for the qualification of summer camp as much as possible, I don't know if it is affected by the epidemic, the difficulty of summer camp this year is indeed lower than that before promotion. (Tianda and South China University of Technology joined the summer camp and directly canceled the exemption before promotion. If I can seize the opportunity of the summer camp, I can greatly reduce the pressure of exemption from the exam before promotion. Such exemption materials, documents, portfolios, interviews and other materials should also be completed before June.

3. Contact the tutor as soon as possible, summon up courage and let the teacher feel your sincerity. After all, the early bird catches the worm.

4. Resources such as seniors, seniors, and classmates who participated in the previous research must be used and consulted with humility. It is really important to enjoy resources during insurance research, because insurance research can be said to be a war of ability and information.

5. Mentality is really, really important.

Finally, the process of exemption is really chaotic. The most important thing is to calm down and try your best to fight for it. I believe everyone will get the desired result.
