I hope those who have monthly tickets will also support me and help improve my ranking. Thank you!

This time, Han Tao didn't interrupt them immediately. He waited until they had all finished laughing before continuing:

"Students, the examples I've given you today are meant to teach you a lesson."

That means the graduate students recruited by teachers are not necessarily the best students or those with the highest exam scores.

Instead, we recruit people who not only possess professional skills but also have the ability to elevate and develop this profession!

He paused, waiting for everyone to process the information before continuing, "Finally, I'll talk about a life-saving measure."

What if you encounter a difficult question that you absolutely cannot answer in the exam?

Some students suggested making something up, but let me tell you, never make up a lie. Lying is a major no-no in interviews! Remember these universal fallback sentences.

Teacher, I'm sorry, I don't know much about this, and I'm afraid my answer won't satisfy you. So, could you please ask me a different question?

In this situation, the teacher will usually give you one chance. But what if you still don't know the answer to the teacher's second question?

This time, instead of laughing, the audience shouted "Eek!" in unison, which is usually a special way of interacting and cheering in traditional folk arts.

Han Tao didn't mind and directly said: "At this point, you can all imagine that the scene will definitely be very awkward."

Therefore, the following sentence is very important: You should say, "Hello teacher, I'm very sorry, but I still have some gaps in my understanding of this knowledge point."

During my undergraduate studies, I realized that I had shortcomings in my knowledge base, which is the core reason why I am eager to pursue graduate studies and learn systematically under the guidance of my supervisor to make up for these shortcomings.

However, I promise I will definitely delve deeper into this topic in the future. So, could you please give me another chance?

At this point, the teacher will most likely give you another chance, but you still don't know the answer to the third question. You've already exhausted all your excuses. What should you do then?

Amid another burst of laughter, he gave his final summary, "Now it's time to really make one up."

Do you know why? Because Chinese people are very sensitive to the number three.

There's a saying that things shouldn't happen more than three times, and another saying that you can do it once or twice, but not a third or fourth time. So if you don't know something, you'll become someone who knows nothing at all!

However, you can't just make things up; you have to make it sound plausible. If it's full of holes, the teacher will see right through it and you'll be eliminated immediately.

Therefore, an honest and motivated attitude is a million times better than pretending to know what you don't.

However, speaking of this, we must mention the questions teachers ask, which can be roughly divided into two categories.

The first is a professional question, which you can't argue about. The second is a non-professional question...

He cited several famous moments from online interview mishaps, delivering a stand-up comedy-style humor that kept the audience laughing non-stop.

The anxiety that had been weighing on the students' minds during the re-examination dissipated in the relaxed atmosphere, and the sounds of recording, taking photos, and taking notes never stopped.

After fully dissecting the three key interview techniques, Han Tao changed the subject and displayed a map showing the distribution of 34 985 universities across the country that set their own admission scores.

"Mastering the interview is the prerequisite for even being eligible for an interview."

Many students blindly aim for prestigious universities, focusing only on their total score and ignoring the independent admission criteria; even with high scores on the written exam, they still fail to get in.

Han Tao glanced at the time and quickened his pace, "So I'd like to ask, does anyone know how many universities in the country have independent admission quotas?"

That's right, a total of thirty-four schools! They are not bound by the unified national score line; each school sets its own re-examination score line.

Moreover, the admission scores are generally far higher than the national cut-off scores for ordinary universities, making the competition far more intense than that of non-985/211 universities.

Therefore, choosing a school cannot be based solely on the total score. Individual subject cutoff scores, the elimination rate in the re-examination, and the annual enrollment quota are all indispensable; neglecting any one of these can easily lead to mistakes.

He listed the universities by region, interspersed with interactive banter: "Let's start with the seven universities in Beijing that set their own admission scores."

Tsinghua University, Peking University, Renmin University of China, Beijing Normal University, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beihang University, and China Agricultural University.

I asked engineering students, do they all want to get into Beihang University or Beijing Institute of Technology?

A word of caution: these two schools have extremely strict cut-off scores for English, so students who are weak in English should not blindly try to get in!

Next, let's talk about two universities in Tianjin: Nankai University and Tianjin University. For liberal arts students, Nankai University is the better choice, while for engineering students, Tianjin University is the better choice. Their admission scores fluctuate but remain relatively stable over the years.

"I would like to make a special point about the Northeast region. Don't confuse the different levels of universities. For example, Harbin Institute of Technology, located in Heilongjiang, is the pinnacle of engineering in the Northeast."

Harbin University of Science and Technology is not even on the list of 34 universities, and every year students get confused and make a fool of themselves.

Jilin University's campus covers the entire city of Changchun. There's a saying that Changchun is located within Jilin University, which gives you an idea of ​​its scale.

However, despite the large number of available spots, the number of applicants reaches hundreds of thousands each year, making the competition extremely fierce!

"Speaking of the East China region, there is a behemoth university in Zhejiang called Zhejiang University."

It has merged with several institutions to form its current size, with majors covering all categories.

USTC focuses on high-quality research and has a limited number of admissions, making it suitable for students who are dedicated to studying basic sciences and plan to pursue a doctorate.

Xiamen University's economics and management programs are notoriously difficult to get into; students switching to economics and management from other majors should think twice before applying.

Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) and Wuhan University are both good choices; for humanities majors, choose Wuhan University, and for engineering majors, prioritize HUST.

Central South University boasts top-tier engineering and medical programs, attracting a large influx of students from other disciplines each year.

"Sun Yat-sen University and South China University of Technology in South China. Sichuan University in Southwest China is strong in literature and medicine, and major universities are known for their engineering programs."

Northwest University boasts Xi'an Jiaotong University's top engineering programs. Lanzhou University's admission scores are relatively more favorable due to its geographical location, but it is still one of the 34 prestigious universities that set their own admission scores.

Many students only focus on first-tier cities when choosing a school, ignoring the extremely high dropout rate of universities that set their own admission scores.

All that hard work and a high score on the written exam resulted in failing the interview, wasting a year of preparation time – a net loss.

At this point, Han Tao paused his explanation and interacted with the audience: "Let me ask you all a question: Is there anyone here who is solely focused on getting into a prestigious university, regardless of the enrollment quota?"

Most of the students in the audience raised their hands, and he couldn't help but laugh and joke, "I know some of you will definitely say, 'Why can't that be me?'"

Well, here's a stark truth for everyone: don't take any chances. There's only one spot available. Do you really think you'll be one of them?

Unless your family's ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke... and even that's unlikely, they'd probably explode. Otherwise, the odds are so low that ordinary test-takers should absolutely not gamble!

Finally, the elimination rate in the re-examination of universities that set their own admission scores is much higher than that of universities that do not. The written test is just the ticket to entry, and the real screening process is in the interview.

This is the fundamental reason why I spent most of today's class guiding everyone through the three essential skills for interviewing.

"Don't just have a strong desire to attend a prestigious university; when choosing a university, you must match your scores, target major, and future career plans."

The platform resources of these 34 top universities are unparalleled, but the entry requirements are equally high. It is far more important to recognize your own strengths and choose universities that match your abilities than to blindly chase rankings.

The postgraduate entrance exam is never just about test scores. Interview performance, university selection criteria, and choice of major/track—any mistake in any of these areas can directly jeopardize your chances of admission.

The entire segment interweaves anecdotes and practical tips on school selection, sometimes posing questions to interact with students, and sometimes bluntly pointing out common misconceptions about school selection.

The hundreds of students in the audience listened attentively, while the counselors and teaching assistants in the back row, who were observing and maintaining order, nodded frequently and took out their phones to photograph the key points of the courseware.

As the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class, Han Tao packed up the projector and smiled as he finished:

"In today's lesson, I talked about the three key strategies for passing the interview, and I also broke down the selection logic of the 34 universities with independent admission criteria across the country."

Finally, let me reiterate that the written exam is the foundation for getting a job, the interview is the key to success, and choosing the right school is the direction to move forward. All three are indispensable.

I hope all students can avoid the major pitfalls on their exam preparation journey, find the right path for themselves, and successfully gain admission to their desired universities.

This concludes the lesson. Students who still have questions can ask, and I will answer them one by one.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire lecture hall erupted in prolonged and enthusiastic applause. Several students who had been recording the conversation had already begun editing and releasing the video.

A large number of students asked a series of questions, such as self-introduction templates for the re-examination, answering techniques for cross-disciplinary questions, and choosing between different universities.

Han Tao patiently answered each question. At this moment, several students who had been waiting for him at the entrance of the Academic Affairs Office, hoping that he could help them review their resumes, stood up one after another.

And there was Zhu Suosuo, who was sitting in the very front row. She had arrived the earliest and was now looking at him with expectant eyes, filled with admiration.
