Consider the opportunity for choice 2

(Baonghean) - Although the second admission period only lasts for 10 days (from August 26 to September 5) and takes place during the holidays, the race to win the remaining quotas of Universities and Colleges is still very tense... In this second round, candidates only have one choice and do not have the opportunity to change as much as in the previous admission period.

The second day of the second round of admission to universities and colleges took place right on the occasion of the 15th day of the 7th lunar month. However, at Vinh University, the number of candidates coming to complete admission procedures was quite large. Outside the reception room, candidates and their families attentively watched the announcement board of the remaining admission quotas for the second choice of the school. More than 2,000 quotas for 26 majors, of which the major with the most quotas was law (200 quotas), the remaining majors had approximately 50 - 150 quotas, which seemed to have made candidates quite assured. At the application reception room, any candidate who came to register was advised by the consulting team to consider carefully in choosing a career and reminded to research carefully, because they only had one wish and could not change it anymore.

Update candidate profile for second choice at Vinh University.

Up to this point, Vinh University has received about 200 applications for the second choice, and the majority are still applications for the majors Law, Banking and Finance, and Information Technology. In particular, contrary to the initial thought that candidates applying for the second choice often have low scores, in reality, the admission scores of registered candidates are quite high. Candidate Tran Phan Cuong (Block 4, Trung Do Ward, Vinh City) came to register to submit his application to the Faculty of Economic Law with a rather sad mood. In this year's exam, he took the C block and scored 23.75 points. Confident in his score, Cuong applied for the first choice at the Academy of Politics, but in the end failed because he was 0.5 points short. With an admission score of only 18.5 points for his second choice, Cuong was quite confident in his ability to pass, but as he confided: “In the first round, I did not research carefully so I applied to a highly competitive school. If I had thought carefully, I would have had more opportunities to apply to many other top schools.”

Along with Cuong, his schoolmate Phan Trung took the C block exam and scored 25.25 points. However, after failing at the Fire Prevention and Fighting University, Trung returned to Vinh University to submit his second wish. According to the scores of the candidates, volunteer Nguyen Thi Hong Lam said: The scores of the candidates submitting their second wish are quite high, most of them are over 20 points. And most of the candidates applied to faculties with admission scores of 18 points or higher...

Consulting candidates via hotline at Vinh University.

Going directly to the application submission room to monitor and advise candidates, Dr. Nguyen Xuan Binh, Head of Training Department - Vinh University said: In the first round, Vinh University has recruited about 85% of students and more than half of the majors have recruited enough students. Because in the second round, candidates can only submit a single application and cannot change their wishes or withdraw their application to another school, so candidates need to think carefully before choosing. How to choose a major, choose a career, first of all, it must be a career that you are passionate about. Next, you must choose a career that is suitable for your abilities, circumstances and conditions. You should not choose a major, choose a career based on the majority and this is also the failure of many candidates after the first round of admission to their wishes... In the second round, to support candidates, Vinh University has increased information about the school's admission on the website and mass media. In addition, the school's hotline through two phone numbers (0388. 988.989 and 0383. 856.394) is regularly connected to promptly advise and answer questions for students...

At Nghe An University of Economics, in the first round, through two admission methods (reviewing scores and reviewing transcripts), the school only recruited about 58% of the target. For that reason, in the second round, the school determined that this was the most important round for a lower-ranked school. And to facilitate candidates, right from the entrance gate, the school established a team of volunteer students (who had been trained) to directly support, answer questions and advise relatives and candidates when they want to come to the school to learn about and apply. In addition, even though it was a holiday, the school was still on duty regularly and was ready to work overtime if there were candidates coming to register. Sharing about the second round of admission, Ms. Nguyen Thi Mai Anh, Vice Principal of the school, said: “We have learned a lot of experience after the first round of admission. Like a week ago, many candidates withdrew their applications from other schools and applied to our school but could not update them online. After that, we directly reported to the Examination Department and promptly handled the situation for the convenience of candidates. Or like in the first round, we updated the scores but did not arrange them in order from highest to lowest. In the second round, we have learned from experience so that candidates can easily follow. Currently, the faculty with the most candidates registering is Accounting. Next are Economics and Land Management”...

According to statistics from the Ministry of Education and Training, in the first round of admission, nearly 506,000 candidates registered for universities and colleges (compared to the expected number of candidates reaching the threshold of ensuring input quality for the university system of more than 531,000 candidates). Of the more than 100 universities in the top group, only 57 schools have recruited 80% or more of their quota, while the remaining more than 300 other universities and colleges are reserving quotas for candidates registering for the second round... From these statistics, it can be seen that even if they are not admitted to their first round, candidates should not be too worried but should be calm and consider carefully when choosing a school or career. Experience from the first round also shows that the number of candidates who have to run from one school to another are mainly those with lower test scores and many of them do not know their own abilities and do not consider carefully when submitting their applications. In addition, many parents and candidates have misconceptions about the candidates' true abilities. In fact, this year's exam scores are higher than previous years because this year's exam has to integrate 2 in 1, so the exam is easier.

Many opinions say that this year's candidates who scored 18 or 19 points are actually only equal to those who scored 13 or 14 points last year. In addition, many candidates "pick their ears" because, although the Ministry has a policy to allow candidates to change their preferences in their localities, they still deliberately go to universities to change, leading to confusion, waste of time and money. Even in Nghe An, nearly 30,000 candidates registered for the university entrance exam, but after nearly 10 days, only 1,027 candidates applied to change their preferences at high schools. The rest of the candidates certainly flocked to universities, even though it was not necessary.

On the side of the Ministry of Education and Training, after receiving comments from the public and universities, the second round of admission has had positive and quite reasonable changes. In particular, in the supplementary admission round, after registering for admission to a school, candidates are not allowed to change their wishes and are not allowed to withdraw their application to transfer to another school. Candidates use the barcode number of each Certificate of Examination Results to register for admission to a single school. The Ministry of Education and Training requires that during the admission period, the Departments of Education organize the reception of candidates' admission registrations; transfer candidates' admission registration data to schools. At the end of each admission round, schools must send to the Ministry's admission data management system the admission scores and list of admitted candidates. In addition, candidates can request direct consultation via the phone numbers 04.36231138 - 0436230816 - 04.36231137 of the Ministry of Education and Training.
