Research On The Admission Models Of The Famous American Research Universities

It is about more than ten years since the independent recruitment system has been trial in the universities of our country in 2001.86 universities have carried out the admission system and most of the universities are research universities. At the present stage, the admission system has achieved some achievements. However, with the constantly reform and development of the independent recruitment system, the doubt and criticism also comes along. In the philosophical perspective, things are going in the tortuous way, and the development of things must go through difficulties and setbacks. The qualitative transformation needs the quantitative accumulation. Therefore, facing the problems and shortcomings of the self-admissions in the domestic research universities, blind criticism is not objective. The successful experience can be the reference to put forward specific proposals for reform according to the context after analyzing the pros and cons.America is the typically decentralized country. There is no unified national college enrollment system and the admission is absolutely autonomous. Though the enrollment systems are different from states to states, districts to districts, colleges to colleges, there are also some similarities as follows. Universities are autonomous. They persist the philosophy of elitism education, seek the achieved students around the world, devote to the diversified community, adopt diversity admissions standards, and establish strict supervision mechanism. The thesis selects 10 famous American research universities to make case analysis deeply and concretely, and understand the world first-class university enrollment system deeply.This paper mainly adopts the literature research and comparative method. By reading a number of literatures about American and the domestic independent recruitment, the problems of American famous research university enrollment models are summarized and the causes of the problems are analyzed. Then, some countermeasures are put forward for the reform of independent recruitment in our nation's research university. In the last part of the paper, the independent recruitment models of our research university are reviewed systematically. Then, the problems of the independent recruitment are analyzed and the countermeasures are proposed to promote our higher education in the context of higher education popularization.In short, the independent recruitment should not just stick to the present models, but to be developed. Of course, the reform doesn't mean just drawing lessons from foreign experience, but combining self-experience and the special context to explore the suitable admission models.
