How to choose a major and school for graduate school?

When choosing a major to comprehensively weigh the following two aspects of their own:

The first aspect:

Personal interest and future employment direction. Interest is the primary factor in choosing a specialty. On the one hand, if a person is dealing with something that he or she is not at all interested in will have a hard time. On the other hand, interest determines whether one can have the perseverance and fortitude to stick to graduate school and ensure higher efficiency. Most of the people who study for graduate school with a strong spirit will not be able to pass the exam.

The second aspect:

Our own strength is an important reference index. Only with a clear understanding of your own strength can you make rational choices and maximize your probability of success. It is important to note here that one's own strength does not refer to one's academic performance at the undergraduate level. As long as a person with a poor foundation adopts appropriate methods and is strong-willed enough, coupled with certain objective conditions, he can always succeed.

When choosing a school, you need to consider the following aspects:

1. High quality.

2. The size of the reputation.

3. Competitive dynamics.

4. Intended place of work.
