After school, many become applicants. Now it is rare for anyone to finish their education only in grades 9-11. However, few of the applicants understand how the process of entering a university or institute proceeds. As part of this article, we want to help those entering the university this year.
We set ourselves the following goal: to give you a complete description of the procedure for admission to higher education. Therefore, for a more visual presentation of the material, the entire article will be divided into several subsections. This will allow you to understand step by step the whole mechanism of this exciting process - the process university admissions.
To give you a complete picture, for starters, as an introduction, we will talk a little about preparing for exams (USE), passing the unified state exam itself, waiting for the results, then we will touch on the issue of submitting documents to the university. In some universities, additional entrance tests have been left for applicants (prestigious Moscow and St. Petersburg universities, theater universities). This issue will also be discussed in the article. And in the final part, we will tell you about, probably, the most exciting stage university admissions- enrollment.
If you are ready to get a certificate from those who have already gone through both fire and water, then let's go
1. We pass exams (USE) + Olympiads
Any admission begins long before the submission of documents. For far-sighted schoolchildren, it begins as early as grade 9. Now the list of exams for admission to various specialties is practically unchanged, so you can prepare in advance for certain subjects. Therefore, in another 1.5-2 years, orient yourself in choosing the USE exam. This is very important to do in advance, because. allows you to cut off everything superfluous and concentrate only on what is really important for admission. In this case, you are giving yourself help with admission.
You can read about how to choose the right additional USE exams.
Applicants to the university They can also make their lives easier if, in addition to preparing for exams in advance, they simultaneously participate in various Olympiads held by universities. And here, it’s not even so important to participate in the Olympiad of the university you want to enter, but simply to participate in such events. Even if you don’t win anything, anyway, in any case, you will gain invaluable experience that will help you adjust your preparation for the exam. So do not sit at home, go, if possible, to all the Olympiads held by universities that relate to your future direction of professional activity.
During the exam, we strongly recommend that you forget about phones, netbooks, cheat sheets and other tips. Now this is very strict, not worth the risk. After all, just imagine, if you are caught cheating, then, we can say, goodbye to everything. You will have to retake, and there already the mood will not be the same, and the result, respectively, too. Therefore, save your spurs better for the university, and take the exam on your own. frets?
When you are waiting for the results of the exam, then, first of all, do not reproach yourself for the “jambs” that you think you made while completing the exam tasks. Life is a continuous series of mistakes. After all, there is no person who does not make mistakes. Wait for the results with peace of mind, be proud of yourself that you have finally passed this exam! Well done!
2. Submission of documents to the selection committee.
Moreover, some, especially demanding universities also require that the photos be matte. Rarely, of course, but there are such requirements, so stock up on matte photos as well. To all this, also make 10 copies of the exam and a certificate (with the question of where to certify copies, contact the admissions office by phone, because some universities require notarization, others certify themselves, others ask you to certify copies at school).
In general, according to the new rules for accepting copies, they must be certified only at the university, i.e. where you apply. But you never know. After all, we live in Russia, where order is "very respected." Therefore, play it safe and ask in advance how to certify copies.
AT assistance to applicants it will also be useful to know that some universities require (although they are not entitled to) a medical certificate in the form No. 086 / y (see fig.). It may (and must) be required after your enrollment, but not during the submission of documents. But still, do it in advance and better in several copies (only originals are needed here, that is, you will have to persuade doctors to sign several times).
When you directly go to apply to the university, it is better not to go on the first days of admission.
{The best time to submit documents is a period of 2-3 weeks after the start of admission.}
It's just that if you go early, you'll end up in huge lines. We don’t know why people think that if they apply faster, they will have a better chance of getting in. That's bullshit. Do not rush too much, you will have time to submit everything, since a rather impressive time is given for this (almost a month).
Also, do not forget that you have the right to submit your documents by mailing them. Hurry up here, because. our mail is very fast.
3. Additional competition.
What other additional competition you ask? Universities only accept the USE. Yes, this is true, but some higher education institutions also require an additional entrance test. About 20 universities have the right to their own additional examinations, mainly theatrical, artistic, i.e. those where you need to show your talent and the most prestigious metropolitan and St. Petersburg universities.
It seems that if you decide to apply to one of these universities, then this will not be news to you. Most likely, in addition to preparing for the exam, you were also preparing for an additional test. You don't need our help here. Show your best, don't be shy in front of the jury, and always remember that you won't get a second chance to make a first impression. Do not miss your chance!
4. Enrollment.
Finish line for applicants. The most exciting moment in all admission is enrollment in the ranks of students. In fact, this process should be the most enjoyable of all the time of your admission. Why? Yes, because if you passed the exam with a high score and successfully passed an additional test, then you know how nice it is to see your name in the lists of applicants on the university website or on the information stand. Then they will say about you: “Look, look how many points he has! The guy / girl was obviously well prepared / trained.
And then you can already have a normal rest, after all, summer!
Assistance to the applicant can only be provided by the applicant himself. Or, in other words, an applicant - help yourself!
Conclusion: Now you, I hope, understand that the process of entering a university is a purely technical procedure (except for passing an additional test). The most important thing is to prepare very diligently for exams, attend all school electives in the subject you are taking. But the most important thing is inner desire and self-education. If you yourself do not want to prepare, then no one can force you.
Guys, go for it, surf the Internet less, more! And then assistance in admission to applicants you just won't need it.
We wish you to go where you planned! As soon as you become a student, don't forget to visit our website in September and you will find a lot of useful things for yourself, already being in the status of a full-fledged student.

More about services
We will provide professional advice and help you deal with the educational system of the country you are interested in, the entrance requirements of the university, the timing of preparing and sending documents for admission. Before starting work, we will draw up a step-by-step action plan for preparing an application for admission to selected universities, which will make the admission process simple and transparent for you.
The choice of universities is a key step in admission. We will help you choose the most suitable programs.

Using from 400 to 1,500 words, the applicant needs to explain to the admissions committee why this particular program was chosen, what goals he wants to achieve by entering this program, due to what qualities, knowledge and skills he will be able to succeed in the program and in his future career. Our team has edited hundreds of essays for various universities around the world. The work on the essay is carried out by consultants who have a Master or PhD degree from leading universities in the world, people from Russia, Ukraine and other countries of the post-Soviet space.

We do not “come up” recommendations for recommenders, because such a practice, in the eyes of the admissions committees of foreign universities, is tantamount to deception. We help you interview referees and write a non-standard letter of recommendation that reveals your personality and potential.

In many cases, the resume becomes the first piece of the application that is looked at by the university admissions office.
