Two 15-year-old students in Chengdu were admitted to Tsinghua Administrative and doctoral studies
According to the growth trajectory of most people, 16 years old is just entering high school, and 24 years old is just graduating from college. However, for the two classmates Xian Sicheng and Wang Yaxuan of Chengdu No. 7 Middle School, the age of 16 is the beginning of entering Tsinghua University and will complete their doctoral studies at the age of 24.
One was born in January 2007, passed the eighth level of piano and liked to hike; the other was born in March 2007, , loves guitar and plays Go... One was the second year of high school and the other was the first year of high school. Both of them stood out from the competition among thousands of people across the country in the first batch of enrollment of Tsinghua University's 2023 Qiu Chengtong Leading Talent Training Program, and were admitted to Tsinghua University. It is reported that starting from the next semester (i.e. March 2023), the two will go to Tsinghua University to receive preparatory training and start 8 years of undergraduate and master's degree studies.
When I was working hard for Tsinghua Peking University and Ivy League , there were still a group of graduates who lay flat!
At first I thought it was a joke made up, so how could a student rush to postpone the graduation?
Search the Internet and I found that this was actually true.
Nowadays college students don’t want to graduate at all.
Nowadays, the delay has long become synonymous with reverse involuntary content and a symbol of college students wanting to stop and take a breath.
Why do you want to delay the graduation?
I have seen many reasons, the most of which is: I can't find a job.
How difficult is the job now?
There are obviously a lot of jobs, but I just can't find a suitable one.
There is a suitable position, but the company is not reliable, and there is a reliable company position that is not suitable.
Twitch and turn and read a bunch of recruitment information every day, but none of them can be used.
At this time, education begins to play a role.
Master and doctoral degree fight, undergraduate and undergraduate degree fight, undergraduate and junior college fight, junior college and junior college fight, and even going to school in other places to fight with local graduation....
So, after graduation, there is no class to attend, and I don’t want to be at home.
Many students think that instead of doing nothing at home, it is better to postpone the graduation year, and maybe they can take the exam in school this year or something.
In order to delay the graduation, I went through a lot of processes. After the matter was finally confirmed, it was as if a big stone had finally landed.
It would be even better if the school could pay a little more money during the delayed graduation period.
Although I didn’t go to work, rounding it up is also counted as working.
At least, you don’t have to ask your parents for living expenses so embarrassedly.
In order not to come out to work, some people go to graduate school after graduation, but after graduation, they don’t want to find a job, and they still want to continue studying in school.
Although I understand that it is very difficult to take the postgraduate entrance examination and doctoral degree, maybe someone really goes from undergraduate to doctoral degree to avoid going to work...
Facts have proved that the atmosphere of delaying graduation will be contagious.
Once everyone around decides to postpone the graduation, even if you don’t want to postpone the graduation, you have to consider this path.
Herd mentality: Everyone else has delayed graduation, and I am the only one who graduates. Will I really not be able to find a job after graduation?
But, is delayed really helpful in finding a job?
I know that some people delay graduation to take the exam, but taking the exam is really... it's too difficult.
always feels that it is difficult to find a job this year. Maybe it will be better next year, but what if it is even more difficult next year?
There are also fresh graduates who will graduate next year, and there are only a few jobs, and there are indeed more and more college students.
What's more, some companies may not hire you at all when you see that you have delayed your graduation.
I know that it is difficult for graduates to find a job now, but when isn't it difficult?
The consequences of delaying
Data shows that the proportion of doctoral extension has approached 70%, and more and more people have also accepted doctoral extensions by default. However, the risk of delaying is something that many people do not understand clearly.

On November 28, 2020, Tsinghua University’s official Weibo account @Humanities Tsinghua released a video. Professor Jiang Xiaojuan, a famous economist and dean of the School of Public Administration of Tsinghua University, mentioned in the lecture: , a doctoral student who has not graduated for six years may affect the credit of the loan.

In less than a minute, Teacher Jiang "sayed hello" to his classmates twice. He could not graduate for six years of doctoral studies, and would be deducted from 's credit points by the Internet bank's risk control.
The identity changes of fresh graduates caused by delayed graduation will not affect students' further studies and employment, but the reasons for delayed graduation will affect.
In terms of further studies, will the tutor care if the reason for your delay in graduation is caused by academic problems? Can your learning ability support you in postgraduate studies? Or are you worried about whether you have any psychological problems? You should know that in the past two years, there have been more and more cases of graduate students committing suicide due to psychological problems, and tutors will strictly screen students to reduce risks when enrolling students.
In terms of employment, HR will definitely make an article because of your delayed graduation problem and ask "Why do you graduate longer than others?" If it is an academic problem, they will question your work and study ability. If it is a physical health or psychological problem, they will worry that you are not competent for work or cannot guarantee efficient work due to physical health problems.
In short, delayed graduation will still have a certain impact on further studies and employment, but it depends on the reasons. For example, if you delayed graduation due to entrepreneurship, joining the army, or studying abroad exchange, it is definitely a hot commodity in the eyes of mentors or HR.
I hope everyone can be cautious about delaying the graduation.
After all, some things look difficult, but maybe if you try it, it will be done?
