Many Nghe An candidates find it difficult to 'finalize' their university admission wishes

Difficult to "finalize" wishes

As of early afternoon today, July 28, Binh Nhi and her daughter from Huynh Thuc Khang High School have not yet decided which school to enroll in, even though her daughter scored nearly 26 points in the recent exam.

Sharing about this, Ms. Mai Loan - Binh Nhi's parent said: She applied for admission based on her graduation exam score and foreign language certificate, and wishes to study tourism management or hotel management at the National Economics University. However, this year thousands of students will use the conversion of foreign language admission scores, so her current score is not really safe. Currently, my family has planned to register 18 - 20 wishes, spread from the North - Central - South in the hope of being admitted.

With nearly 27 points, Hoang Khac Nhat Minh - class 12A1, Kim Lien High School is also wondering when registering for university admission. Accordingly, Minh is hoping to enter the University of Technology, majoring in Computer Science. However, because this is a "hot" major, with many excellent students registering for admission, this candidate said he plans to apply to Hanoi National University or the Academy of Posts and Telecommunications. Preparing for this year's admission season, despite having achieved second prize, being an excellent student in the province in Mathematics and having a score in the competency assessment test, choosing his wish is still not easy.

“

All university admission methods result in a common score scale, making it difficult for candidates to accurately assess their scores.

I hope I will be selected by the method of talent selection using the provincial excellent student exam scores. Thus, I will have more advantages.

Removing "difficulties" for students

2025 is the first year that the Ministry of Education and Training changes its teaching methods.university admissionAccordingly, instead of early admission like previous years, admission will be conducted jointly on the system of the Ministry of Education and Training.

Universities do not determine quotas for each method or combination of admissions, but only determine quotas for each major and training program. When considering admissions, the Ministry's general admission support system will automatically select the highest score among the methods and combinations that candidates have to ensure the highest benefits for candidates.

With this method, to successfully register their wishes, candidates need to arrange their admission wishes appropriately to increase their chances of being admitted. In addition, the choice of major and school must also be considered to suit their scores, personal abilities and the future labor market.

In Nghe An, facing these difficulties, schools have set a minimum score to help candidates easily choose a major that matches their scores.

This year, Nghe An University has more than 2,000 enrollment targets for 19 different majors. According to statistics, although it is not the last day to register for admission, the number of applications for some majors has exceeded the target by quite a lot. In particular, although the Information Technology major has only 300 targets, it has 1,685 applications, the English Language major has 200 targets but has 1,090 applications, the Marketing major has 150 targets but has 1,951 applications. Although this is the first year of enrollment, the number of students expected to register is quite large for some other majors, such as Logistics and Supply Chain, Chinese Language, and E-Commerce.

Regarding this year's enrollment, Mr. Nguyen Manh Hung - Director of the Center for Admissions and Communications of Nghe An University added: We have announced the threshold for admission scores with methods including considering graduation exam scores, considering academic records and competency assessment scores. The current trend is that students will choose economic and language majors to help them easily find jobs in industrial parks after graduation. In addition, some traditional majors of the school such as agriculture, forestry, veterinary medicine still attract candidates because of the high job opportunities.

At Vinh University, before the deadline for registration, the school also announced the minimum score for the training majors. As expected, this year, pedagogy is still the "hot" major of the school as it has a fairly high minimum score. Of which, the two majors with the highest entry score are Primary Education and Mathematics Pedagogy (gifted class), both 23 points.

“

With many changes in the admission method, there is currently no data to confirm which majors have more or less applicants, and which majors are easy to get accepted. Therefore, to increase the chance of being admitted, candidates should register many wishes. In which, the most desired wish should be placed as wish 1 and the last wish should be the wish that is sure to pass.

At Vinh Medical University, in 2025, the school will base the equivalent score conversion rule on the results of building a correlation table of standard scores between the graduation exam score method and high school learning results.

Therefore, candidates can base on their scores to determine the corresponding conversion score. According to the announcement, the highest entrance score threshold this year is still Medicine with 20.5 points. The remaining majors such as Preventive Medicine, Nursing, Medical Laboratory Technology are 17 points and Pharmacy is 19 points. With the admission method based on academic records, the entrance exam score is 2-3 points higher.
