The University Entrance Committee announced the results of the first stage of screening for the 115th academic year's application admissions on March 31. A total of 65,914 people passed the first stage of screening and must participate in the second stage of designated item examinations. Candidates must upload relevant review materials by April 30, before the deadline set by each department.
To help candidates understand the preparation direction for the second stage review materials, various departments have recently successively announced the preparation guidelines for the 115th academic year's review materials. Candidates can inquire through the special section of the application admissions website.
For example, the Department of Medicine at National Taiwan University suggests that candidates specifically explain their reflections on their high school learning process, including what knowledge and abilities they have grown, what preparations they have made for studying in the department, and their future learning plans and career planning. In terms of diverse performances, they can specifically explain the gains and reflections from self-directed learning plans and learning experiences gained through service.
The Department of Electrical Engineering at National Tsing Hua University emphasizes students' overall performance in school and whether students possess mathematical, scientific, and logical reasoning abilities. It suggests that candidates can explain their reflections on the learning process, motivation for studying, learning content, and its relevance to the department. In terms of learning experience, they can describe the most impressive events or challenges encountered in life and how they were resolved.
National Tsing Hua University also reminds that to maintain the fairness of the review and evaluation, candidates should confirm the authenticity of the data in their application materials and declare that there are no fictitious or misleading components. Except for purely analytical tools, if candidates use generative AI solutions to assist in preparing review materials, they must explain which parts were used and properly preserve relevant original data.
Group B of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, in addition to asking candidates to present their course records, learning outcomes, and works produced during high school courses, also suggests that they can describe how they cultivated and utilized their specialized abilities during their studies, the relevance of their specialized abilities to information-related fields, and how they will apply and integrate them after studying in the computer science department in the future.
National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University mentioned that if candidates use any AI tools, they should briefly explain the specific methods used and in what aspects the AI tools provided assistance, clearly indicate the purpose and scope of use in the materials, and at the same time retain the original data and avoid providing false or misleading information. If the provided information is inconsistent with the facts and is discovered, the admission qualification will be canceled or the student will be expelled. (Editor: Chen Ching-fang) 1150408
