Starting to prepare for graduate entrance examination

Since I have decided to be admitted through the exam, I need to take actions. The first thing that should be done is to choose the right major and university. It is a really difficult decision for me, I want to major in statistics, but hundreds of colleges have statistics major, I expect to be enrolled in a top one, such as Fudan University. As high expectations mean greater risks, I need to make decisions cautiously, considering my strength fully to ensure as much as possible that I am admitted. I have to get as much information as possible to set my goal so that I can make a plan to concentrate on the preparation.
As everyone has to pass the same English exam and politics test, I think it is necessary to find out the content and form of the exam. Today I downloaded the english papers for 2013 and some math papers, as well as major-related test papers. The english test form for the graduate entrance exam makes me feel like I am back in high school and it is really difficult, as there are too many new words.  I barely got a score of 60. It seems that I have worked hard to recite words, which I really don't like to do. Grammar is also a challenge to me. Anyway, I believe I can make it.
