<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Beijing, Nov.30th, 2006: Candidates for 2007 <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />

Graduate Program was up to 20, 634, according to the statistics on 2007 National<br />

Master Unified Application on the website <strong>of</strong> Ministry <strong>of</strong> Education. Thus the number<br />

<strong>of</strong> candidates for <strong>PKU</strong> graduate program has been exceeding 20, 000 for three years<br />

back to back.<br />

<strong>PKU</strong> has carried out reformation in graduate program since this year. To ensure the<br />

quality <strong>of</strong> newcomers, <strong>PKU</strong> Graduate School adjusted the program – increase in the<br />

number <strong>of</strong> recommended candidates and a little decrease in the total number, under<br />

the condition <strong>of</strong> a steady-going scale. And application-checking system has applied<br />

to the graduate program for international students. Thereinafter is the statistical<br />

analysis on the application <strong>of</strong> the two years:<br />

First, increase in the recommended students. Since the recommended students<br />

recruited by <strong>PKU</strong> have enjoyed a good reputation among their peers, the proportion<br />

<strong>of</strong> this category has been enhanced this year. With 1, 398 recommended students in<br />

2007, the number outstripped that in 2006 by 143. And the students from the<br />

colleges/universities with graduate schools accounted for 94%, which outstripped<br />

that <strong>of</strong> 2006 by 1%.<br />

Second, proportion <strong>of</strong> application and matriculation. Though the number <strong>of</strong><br />

candidates on paper decreased a little, the number <strong>of</strong> students in this year‘s<br />

graduate program and candidates in reality increased, due to the increase in<br />

recommended students, the international students‘ absence from this application<br />

system, and the decrease in J.M. Project (by 150 in quota). Among 2, 0634<br />

candidates, 3047 will be admitted in the end this year (6.77:1), while in 2005, 3339<br />

were admitted out <strong>of</strong> 2, 2498 (6.74:1).<br />

Third, qualification <strong>of</strong> the candidates. The candidates applying for <strong>PKU</strong> have always<br />

had excellent qualities in the past years, and this year is not an exception. Among<br />

the 2007 candidates, 29, 938 were fresh graduates (96.63%), 592 candidates were<br />

those who possess equal ability (2.87%), and 104 masters (0.5%); while among the<br />
