Nghe An candidates confident on the first day of changing their wishes

Unlike other years, candidates' changes usually take place on the last days, but this year, from early morning, many candidates went to high schools to directly adjust their wishes.

At the reception point of Huynh Thuc Khang High School, candidate Doan Van Kien is a rather special candidate. 3 years ago, the male student, formerly of Do Luong 1 High School, took the university entrance exam but due to lack of points, he was not admitted.

After that, Kien had 3 years of military service in the police force but he still dreamed of going to university. This year, before the exam, Kien registered only 1 choice: Information Technology Faculty - Vinh University. However, after knowing the score, Kien decided to change his choice when he got a fairly high score of 26.8 points (group D).

Talking about his change, Kien said: Because I am a self-study candidate and have been out of school for a long time, at first, I was not very confident in the results. But today I decided to change my wish to study Foreign Economics - Foreign Trade University because this is the school I have dreamed of for a long time. I am also quite confident in the results because last year this department only took about 24 points.

Candidate Nguyen Khac Hoang Vu – former student of class 12A5 – Huynh Thuc Khang High School – was also very optimistic when he decided to change his wishes, even though all his wishes were for Da Nang University of Technology.

Sharing the reason, Vu said: Previously, I registered for Choice 1 in the Faculty of Business Administration. However, now I decided to change Choice 1 to the Faculty of Information Technology (High Quality - Japanese Language) even though this faculty's admission score may be higher. I also researched on the school's website because this faculty has many opportunities to work abroad after graduation.

Vu also said: My class has about 35/42 candidates who plan to change their wishes. This is also normal because before the exam, we usually base on the test scores and the average score of the class is mainly from 18 - 19 points, so we usually register for quite normal schools. However, currently the average score of my class is nearly 22 points, so everyone wants to change their wishes to be able to register for schools with better quality.

This morning, at the reception point of Huynh Thuc Khang High School, nearly 10 candidates came to change their wishes and all went smoothly during the adjustment process.

Teacher Nguyen Ngoc Tuan - Vice Principal of the school said: Changing candidates' wishes is normal and this helps candidates a lot in choosing schools and careers. On the school's side, before changing wishes, we also assigned teachers and staff to guide candidates to make it easier for them in the selection process. The main purpose is to choose a career that suits the candidate's abilities, matches the test scores and has a high chance of being admitted.

Today, across the province, reception points at high schools have also been working to welcome candidates to change their wishes. According to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, candidates have two ways to change their wishes: online and by applying at reception points.

The first day also showed that although the online change was quite convenient and there was no network congestion, many candidates still chose the second method. The main reason was that not only did they change their wishes, many candidates also changed their priorities and registered additional wishes. Meanwhile, with the online form, candidates are only accepted when the number of wishes after adjustment is not greater than the number of wishes initially registered in the Registration Form.

According to the 2019 regular university, college and intermediate teacher training enrollment schedule announced by the Ministry of Education and Training, candidates will be able to adjust their admission registration wishes from July 22 to 5:00 p.m. on July 31.

According to the Department of Education and Training, Nghe An province has 32,413 applications from candidates to enter universities and colleges.

Of which, Vinh University has the highest number of registrations with 9,279 wishes. Next are the National Economics University: 4,118 wishes, Hanoi University of Science and Technology: 3,822 wishes, Hanoi University of Industry: 2,738 wishes, Da Nang University of Economics: 2,260 wishes. The remaining schools of Nghe An such as Vinh Medical University, Vinh University of Technical Education, Nghe An University of Economics have about 300 - 1,700 wishes.
