How to increase the chances of being admitted to the university of your choice, suitable to your abilities, is the question that parents and candidates ask the most today.
Innovations that benefit candidates
In the 2024 Admissions Consulting Program, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Thu Thuy, Director of the Department of Higher Education (Ministry of Education and Training - GD&DT) said that from July 6 to 10, the Ministry's Admissions Support System recorded nearly 300,000 candidates registering for university admission. They are starting to get used to this process, especially those who are registering for admission for the first time this year. The system also recorded more than one million wishes, which means that candidates are particularly interested in registering for admission.
The most important point when you register for admission is to complete the entire process and click the finish button, so that the system can record all the wishes you have registered.
Regarding the admission regulations, in 2024, the Ministry of Education and Training will maintain the same as in previous years, on the principle of ensuring the best interests of candidates. Technical support for students to be admitted to their most favorite and most suitable wishes is to allow them to register for an unlimited number of admission wishes. During the allowed time, students can adjust their wishes. Thus, this policy maximizes their chances of being admitted. When students register for admission, they only need to register for the major, group of majors or training programs of the school, without having to choose a method or combination of admissions.
Explaining this, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Thu Thuy said that in previous years, there were cases where students made mistakes, had data about this method, but mistakenly selected another combination. Now the system allows students to choose the most preferred option they have registered.
"However, during the registration process, students still have time to check the data registered in the high school graduation exam. That is data on priorities, priority areas, and subjects to check the evidence to see if there are any mistakes...", Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Thu Thuy said.
Admissions strategy
Candidates need to have an admission registration strategy with quantity, wishes and priority order, increasing the possibility of passing the university entrance exam, the major they love and their ability, to avoid being unfairly rejected.
According to Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Thu Thuy, whichever wish you like the most and want to study the most should be prioritized. However, candidates should not set too many wishes, but need to have a reasonable strategy to put their wishes into groups of schools with different levels of competition, to have the best chance of being admitted.
The opportunity for candidates this year is to register their admission wishes and have the ability to adjust their admission wishes. If there are any mistakes or errors, you must check and review carefully and remember to follow the correct procedures as instructed on the system. There is a technical support phone number on the system. Therefore, you can call at any time if you make a mistake.
Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Thu Thuy commented that, with nearly 30 years of experience in university education, choosing a major is the most important. Candidates must choose the right major according to their passion, interests, and strengths in order to pursue it to develop their career.
When candidates choose the right major, they choose many schools with the same training program. From there, there are comparisons about reputation, training quality, and brand. Regarding the training program, teaching staff, facilities, job opportunities, and internship opportunities, they must be compared. The profession they choose correctly is a solid foundation to help them develop personally in the next stages.
