Diplomas were received by 2,235 people, including 1,227 eleventh-graders. 1,220 participants of the final stage of the Olympiad became students of the Higher School of Economics, taking advantage of admission benefits.

Almost all the largest Russian universities give priority to the winners and prize-winners of their Olympiads (or other similar competitions) when enrolling.

Winner takes all?
The Highest Standard and other similar competitions are often criticized for being "elitist" and "discriminating" against students who are unable or unwilling to participate. First of all, this applies to children from low-income families or from remote regions of the Russian Federation. Cases of fraud revealed during these competitions are sometimes mentioned. However, this rarely happens. Evidence shows that the winners of past Olympiads generally perform better at universities than students enrolled through the USE system.
Most of the subjects of the "Highest standard" are included in the official "List of Olympiads for schoolchildren", approved by the government of the Russian Federation. The winners and runners-up of this competition are entitled to the following benefits:
- enrollment in universities without additional tests of knowledge in the core subject of the Olympiad;
- maximum USE score in the profile subject of the Olympiad;
- non-graduating students may enter the final round the following year without going through a pre-selection sieve.
Every year more than a thousand laureates of the "Highest standard" become students of the most prestigious Russian universities.
