在确定了要考研、要报考的大致学校和专业范围以后，考生朋友们就要和学校联系了，以便获得最新的招生信息，并最后定下报考的学校和专业。获取有关专业方面信息的途径有以下几种：

1. 招生简章。

一般在7-8月份出，由各个学校的研究生招生主管部门（研究生院和研究生处）公布。招生简章上会列出：招生单位名称、代码、通讯地址、邮政编码、联系电话；招生的专业人数（有的以系、所、院、中心等整个具体招生单位为单位，有的具体到每一个专业）；导师（大部分不刊登，多属于集体培养）；还可能会列出委培、自费等人数；但保送、保留学籍的名额一般不列出来（这对于考生确实是非常关键的信息）；考试科目；使用的参考书（很多学校不列出参考书目）。
　　
因此可以看出，大部分招生单位的招生简章上的信息对于考生是远远不够的，这些可以说都是最基本的信息，有一些关键的信息，并没有列出。

For Latinos and African-Americans, the rate approaches an alarming 50 percent. Virtually no community, small or large, rural or urban, has escaped the problem.

There is a small but hardy band of researchers who insist the dropout rates don't quite approach t
