Shanghai： Pursuing academics first, more candidates are willing to ＂test＂ out.

　　(Reporter Zhu Yingxi) As a high-tech batch with the highest proportion of admissions and covering the largest number of colleges and candidates, the annual centralized admission of ordinary batches of undergraduate courses in Shanghai is always the most concerned by the public. The reporter learned from the Shanghai Education Examinations Institute yesterday that the admission of ordinary batches of undergraduate colleges in 2019 will be completed today. Statistics show that there are more than 500 colleges and universities and more than 1,000 colleges and universities’ professional groups participating in the centralized enrollment of undergraduate courses in this city this year, and the number of students enrolled accounts for three-quarters of all undergraduate enrollment plans this year, among which the number of students enrolled in colleges and universities in this city accounts for about two-thirds.

　　"This year, the centralized admission of undergraduate ordinary batches in this city is generally stable." Zheng Fangxian, dean of the Shanghai Education Examinations Institute, said that this is mainly manifested in two aspects: First, the voluntary satisfaction rate and the success rate of Shanghai candidates are constantly improving; Second, the admission scores of colleges and universities and the ranking of admission candidates are relatively stable.

　　At the same time, in the process of recruiting ordinary batches of undergraduate courses in Shanghai this year, some gratifying new signs have begun to emerge.

　　Many foreign key universities are popular with candidates in Shanghai.

　　If the score of 550 points in the college entrance examination is taken as the observation benchmark, the Shanghai candidates represented by this score rank about 5,100, ranking in the top 10%. Zheng Fangxian introduced that Tongji University, East China Normal University, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Shanghai International Studies University, China Renmin University (including Suzhou Campus), Nankai University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Nanjing University, Zhejiang University, etc. all colleges and universities have admission scores above this year, and some colleges and universities have admission scores above 500, including China Communication University, Shandong University, Chongqing University and Sichuan University.

　　These universities, which are popular among Shanghai candidates, are all well-known top universities in China without exception, and represent China’s higher education in their respective fields or comprehensive level.

　　At the same time, many foreign key universities or "double-class" universities have also been continuously favored by Shanghai candidates, and their admission scores have improved significantly. For example, the admission scores of beijing university of chemical technology, Capital University of Economics and Business, Fuzhou University, Zhengzhou University, Yunnan University, Lanzhou University and other universities have all increased by 5 points or even 10 points.

　　"This is rare in such a flat voluntary reporting and admission environment. It can be said that candidates’ pursuit of academic and training quality has surpassed the restrictions of pure geography, which is a very gratifying and encouraging phenomenon." Zheng Fangxian said.

　　Clinical medicine has become a "hot potato", and the admission scores of some "minority" schools have increased.

　　Judging from the admission of professional groups in many colleges and universities, one of the highlights this year is that the admission scores of clinical medicine majors continue to rise.

　　It is reported that in addition to high-end or geographically advantageous institutions such as Naval Military Medical University, Southern Medical University and Chongqing Medical University, many medical-related majors in ordinary colleges and universities are increasingly valued by candidates. For example, Hebei Medical University, Xuzhou Medical University, Xinxiang Medical College, Kunming Medical University, Xiangnan College, etc., the admission scores of both eight-year clinical medicine majors and five-year clinical medicine majors have improved significantly this year, and the admission scores of some colleges or majors have increased by 20 to 30 points.

　　In Zheng Fangxian’s view, this signal reflects the rational thinking of current candidates on future career development.

　　It is worth noting that this year, Shanghai University of Electric Power was upgraded to a university. Many people speculated that the admission score line might be significantly improved this year, but the observation was limited. In addition, the admission scores of Shanghai Conservatory of Music and Shanghai Theatre Academy, which are relatively "minority", began to rise slowly, with an increase of about 10 points compared with two years ago.
