大学英语口语技能测试题及参考观点 Admission 入学 ﹥﹥相关问题：Rumors are that graduate schools favor people applying from their own college. Is this your impression? Is it fair? Why? ﹥﹥参考观点： This unfair phenomenon does exist on campus. The postgraduate entrance exam includes two parts: the written exam and the interview. The unfairness often shows up in the interview process. If two students get the same marks, the one from the university being applied to is more likely to be accepted. The reason is that professors tend to think students from their own schools are able to adapt to their teaching styles easily, which is important for setting up mutual understanding to work and study together. I dont think tutors prefer students from their own colleges. They only want to choose people who are familiar. When we go shopping, we are likely to buy brands that are familiar to us for we know their quality and service better. When it comes to postgraduate enrollment, its the same. So if you want to be a postgraduate, first make yourself known to your tutor! I myself may serve as proof against those rumors. As a student in Dalian, I have been accepted by Nankai University as a postgraduate student. Whats worth mentioning is that I had neither guidance from any professor at Nankai nor special materials from former schoolmates. Rumor is rumor. Itll never affect those with a strong motivation who work hard. I dont think its unfair. I firmly believe that excellent students will be accepted by other schools. The only reason that applicants are refused is that they are not outstanding enough. Therefore, the most important thing that applicants should emphasize is effort rather than complaint. As an applicant for next years postgraduate entrance exam, I believe the exam is just and fair. Nevertheless, due to the rumors, some examinees spend lots of time to get to know their potential professors. The phenomenon also causes a serious social problem — people would rather believe in so-called personal relations
