We go to university. Tactics and strategy of actions of applicants and their parents

You have probably already chosen the universities and faculties where your grown-up child wants to study. Perhaps they have already sent the documents to the selection committee. And the most important, most exciting question remained: will they enroll - will they not enroll? What else can you do to get into the desired educational institution? Something is possible!

Check the documents again

You, of course, have already studied the websites of the institutes and know what documents are required for admission. Check again if you have everything assembled correctly?

To participate in the competition you will need:

• statement;
• copy of the passport;
• a copy of the certificate with the application;
• originals of documents confirming benefits (for privileged categories, target recipients, olympiads)
• (sometimes) medical certificate 086/U (this document is not mandatory, it should be specified on the website of the university).

What can you miss?

Firstly, if the child graduated from school not this year, but recently retaken the exam, it should be indicated in the application, Which exam result should be taken into account?(After all, they are all in the All-Russian database).

Secondly, do not forget about such an important thing as additional points for individual achievements! The admission committee can add up to 10 points for sports and scientific achievements, as well as for participation in volunteer activities - carefully study this section on the university website, the requirements of educational institutions differ. Another ten extra points can be earned for an essay - the same one that was written in the winter for admission to the exam. Especially often they are interested in the commissions of humanitarian faculties, some are even ready to extract them from the database and re-evaluate them on their own according to a 10-point system. So don't forget to indicate that you wrote the essay!

Applicant calendar: don't miss the moment!

The key dates of admission to the university are very important. We would like to note that if a child has passed the Unified State Examination and will not pass entrance tests and creative competitions, then you have not missed anything yet.

Differences of the 2016 admission campaign - cancellation of priorities, statement of consent to enrollment (relevant in 2017)

The fundamental difference between the admission campaign of 2016 is the abolition of priority accounting for admission. Previously, when applying to a university for two or three specialties (training programs), you could indicate your preferences with the numbers 1, 2 and 3. If you did not pass to your preferred specialty, you were automatically excluded from this list and included in the next one. Now an applicant participates on an equal basis in the competition in all specialties (recall, an application for admission can still be sent to five universities for three specialties (training programs) in each).

” But where you ultimately decide to go will determine your statement of consent to enrollment. This is just a novelty of this year - without this document, an applicant cannot become a student, even if he tops the rating list and brought the original education documents to the university.

The procedure for admission to the university in two waves

So, how does the admissions process look like this year? You bring documents to the selection committee, according to the list above >>>>. After that, you are anxiously watching the progress of your name in the ranking of applicants. Almost all major universities today indicate in the ranking which of the applicants immediately agreed to enroll and the original documents (that is, they are quite serious), and who are not (that is, they consider this university as a fallback). On the 27th you will see the final list on the university website.

” And only now, after July 27, the real introductory race begins - you can no longer tear yourself away from the university website for a minute!

What happens on the 27th? In fact, now the real qualifying competition begins - only between those who brought the original documents and consent to enrollment. The university is obliged to close 80% of the enrollment, while applicants without originals are ignored (even if they are recommended for enrollment), and those who were at the bottom of the list can move up quickly enough.

So, on August 3, all universities will recruit 80% of students. Of course, 80% is a rather arbitrary figure, someone will want to return the documents after the enrollment order, but in general, the main set will be completed.

I didn't get into the first wave. Will the chances be higher in the second wave?

Depends on which university you are talking about. If we are talking about a prestigious metropolitan university and you are literally on the border of the list recommended for enrollment, then you certainly have every chance to study at your dream university.

” In a provincial university, the chances of enrolling may not be higher, but lower, because applicants who did not agree to be enrolled in the first wave can give it to the second! This means that many who sought happiness in the capitals will spit on the pie in the sky and return to Siberian universities for tits.

A good example: the admissions campaign at the Mukhomran Fence Building Institute.

Consider the situation on the example of the well-known Mukhomran Fence Building Institute in our country (for simplicity of the situation, we immediately consider only competitive recruitment on a general basis, not taking into account orphans, disabled people and citizens of Crimea)

Situation #1

So, 10 people are recruited for the popular faculty of chain-link mesh. Documents were submitted by 100 applicants, their ranked list is on the institute's website. Until August 1, 12 applicants brought original documents and consent to enrollment: No. 1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 55, 79, 95, 96, 97, 99 and 100 (numbers from the ranked list).

Since the university is obliged to fill 80% of the competitive places in the first wave, applicants No. 1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 55, 79, 95 will be enrolled. Yes, yes, they also took No. 95.

Situation #2

Applicants No. 7, 12 and 95 changed their minds about entering the faculty of chain-link mesh.

Applicant No. 12 brought an application for revocation of documents on July 30 at five o'clock in the evening. Since the selection committee worked only until six, they returned the documents to him on July 31 at 10 am, after which he managed to take the train and take his documents to MGIMO, where he also went through the competition.

Applicant No. 95, as we remember, was on the enrollment list, but on the morning of August 2 he changed his mind and came to pick up the documents. They were given to him after dinner, and he also rushed to MGIMO. But it turned out that he would no longer be enrolled on August 3, since consent to enrollment had to be given before August 1. Meanwhile, instead of the entrant No. 95, the entrant No. 96 was enrolled at the faculty of chain-link mesh on August 3.

Applicant No. 7 decided that he also wanted to go to MGIMO and that he, perhaps, had a chance to get there in the second wave. He came to the university on August 4 and also applied for the withdrawal of documents, hoping that they would be given to him within two hours. But since the enrollment order had already been signed, he was now waiting... waiting... waiting...

Situation #3

Applicant No. 95, who at first decided to wait for the second wave of enrollment at MGIMO, suddenly thought “what am I changing my native Mukhomransk for!”. He took the documents from MGIMO and again took them to the fence-building institute, handed over the originals and consent to enrollment to the selection committee. But it turned out that applicants No. 22, 58, 59, 60, seeing that they enrolled those whose USE results were much worse, decided to take a chance and also brought the original documents and consent to enroll! Since there were three free places left at the faculty (2 places - 20% of the admission plan, and a place vacated after applicant No. 7), applicants No. 22, 58, 59 were accepted there.

So, as a result, applicants No. 1, 2, 5, 9, 22, 55, 58, 59, 79, 96 will study at the faculty of netting. Applicants No. 60 and No. 95 can try their luck next year, although much less able applicants No. 79 and 96 have already become students. That's it!

The most popular questions of parents of applicants

- Can the child write a statement of consent along with the application for admission?

Maybe, especially if you submitted the original documents on education, but only one application for consent to enrollment can be attributed to the university.

And if he changes his mind about entering the specialty where he is enrolled, but chooses another one at the same university where he also applied for admission?

You will have to write a review on the statement of consent to enrollment and a new consent to enrollment.

- Maybe it's better to immediately submit the original documents to the selected university?

- Handed over the original documents, and then decided to pick up ...

And you are obliged to give them within two hours if you came to the selection committee more than two hours before the end of the working day, or in the morning the next day if you applied in the evening. In not the most popular universities, sometimes they try to withhold applicants' documents after the lists for enrollment are published, citing the fact that it takes time to prepare an expulsion order. Know it's not! You still have to return the documents within two hours!

Important!

You may well be enrolled in the chosen university in the first wave, even if you are not included in the list of those recommended for enrollment. The lists are mobile, you can move up the rankings pretty quickly. It is important to bring the original documents on education and a statement of consent to enrollment in time. BOTH of these documents are required.

The competition in the second wave may not be lower, but higher than in the first. Please take this into account when planning your admission.

A couple of great high school graduations came to an end. Now high school graduates are seriously thinking about the problem of entering a higher educational institution.

What you need to know schoolchildren, what documents are required to be submitted to the commission and what is the priority for enrollment. Let's figure it out.

Choosing an institute

The process of choosing a higher education institution is not as simple as it seems at first glance. Your further educational activities and training in the chosen specialty will depend on it, and work in the future will already depend on it.

Therefore, before submitting documents to any institution, it is necessary decide on a direction your activities. Do you want to connect your life with medicine, or maybe you like to deal with animals, or maybe you see yourself as the best economist in the future, or you are ready to fight and defend the rights of citizens, or maybe you are fond of technology and are ready to create something of your own and special.

Based on these preferences, see to the institutions of your city and the nearest district. Each major educational institution has its own website, which provides basic information, a list of areas of study, as well as scientific activities and student life.

For yourself, you can choose 5 universities, and in each of them submit documents for 3 specialties. Therefore, read the information, make your choice and start preparing documents for admission.

Documentation

To participate in the competition for admission to the chosen specialty, it is necessary to submit a list of documents to the selection committee of the chosen institute. The list includes:

1. Copy of passport and copy of school leaving certificate.
2. Original documents for granting benefits. Such documents are required for beneficiaries, winners and prize-winners of Olympiads, graduates who have concluded targeted contracts.
3. Medical certificate in the form 086u. Some specialties require its extended version. Detailed information should be clarified in a particular institution.
4. Application for admission. In it, you list the list of specialties for which you want to start the process of studying at the institute. Specialties are listed in order of priority.

A priority

When compiling an application, the admissions office will ask you to arrange the specialties in order of priority, that is, first you indicate the specialty that you want to enter the most, or the one that you have the highest chances of entering.

With an equal number of points for all indicators, the priority of the specialty will be taken into account.

Enrollment

On the twentieth of July, the submission of documents to the selection committee ends and their processing begins. At the beginning of August institutes lay out orders for the enrollment of students in the first wave. Usually, beneficiaries, olympiads, target students and applicants with a large number of USE scores are the first to fall into this order.

Applicants are enrolled by rating list, which was formed as a result of the submission of documents by everyone. You can look at this list on the website of the institute to which you applied. Through it, you can monitor your chances of entering a particular institution.

Do not be upset if you did not see your last name in the first wave list. If you have a good score and get into the rating list by places, then you will be enrolled in the second wave. After that, you will need to submit application for admission.

It is written at the institute where you are going to stay. In it, you leave the original of your certificate. When submitting a consent document, you automatically cease to participate in the competition for other specialties.

If you have good exam score, there are additional bonuses from the Olympiad or the TRP, then you should not worry about admission. Of course, the chance to enter a prestigious university and to a state-funded place is always very small, since there are many applications and the most talented and successful candidates are considered first of all.

Don't be discouraged if you don't get into the college of your dreams. It is worth realistically and soberly assessing your chances of entering a particular specialty. You should always take into account the fact that you will have the opportunity to transfer within the same institution if you succeed in your studies.

As well as you can pick up your documents at the end of the 1st course, for example, and try your luck at entering the institute you originally wanted to enter. Do not be upset and give up if your dream did not come true.

Each institute has its own charm and uniqueness, in each of them you can prove yourself both in the curriculum and in sports, scientific and student activities. For example, become the headman of your group or enroll in a student asset.

Applicants are waiting for serious innovations when entering universities

The current introductory campaign has a number of significant differences compared to the previous ones. Applicants are waiting for serious innovations when entering universities

There are three main innovations of this year's admission campaign: a new approach to calculating the competitive score, the introduction of priority (rating) of submitted applications; an automated system for providing recommendations for admission to places of state order, which should take place in one stage, and not in three, as it was before.

Experts of the OPORA Civic Network write about this in an article for ZN.UA Olga Strelyuk and Natalia Radysh.

All these innovations are interconnected, their goal is to make the procedure for enrolling in state-funded places fair and to prevent the possibility of corruption risks that occurred in previous years, the authors note.

As in previous years, applicants can submit an application (applications) for participation in the competitive selection to no more than five higher educational institutions of Ukraine and no more than three applications to each of them. But this year the application will indicate, in addition to the direction of preparation, and the faculty to which the applicant enters. Therefore, if the university has three faculties that train specialists in one area of ​​training (and there are such, for example, in the KPI), the application for admission to this specialty for each of the faculties will be counted separately.

All submitted applications must be rated(they should be prioritized). This means that the applicant must indicate in what order he would like to be enrolled in an educational institution in the chosen specialties. That is, priority number 1 is an application for a certain specialty to a certain university, where the applicant wants to study the most. If the competitive score of the applicant does not allow him to be credited to the budget according to this application with priority No. 1, then the next choice of the applicant is the university and specialty indicated in the application with priority No. 2, etc.

It is important that the applicant prioritizes not universities, but applications to them. Therefore, it is quite acceptable that an applicant in one university submits three applications, which will have the first, fifth and tenth priorities.

“By assigning priority to each application, the applicant is in fact choosing a strategy that will enable him to become a student of the most suitable institution of higher education for him, as well as the specialty. In this case, acceptability is not necessarily the best institution of higher education in the country or the most popular specialty. This the opportunity to become a student in accordance with a number of criteria - both those put forward by the university in front of the applicant, and those put forward by the applicant in front of the university", - write the authors of the article.

Separately, the authors note the last criterion, which is the second innovation of this introductory campaign - the application of coefficients to the components of the competitive score. If in previous years the competitive score was formed by simply adding the results of the UPE, the score for the school certificate and creative competitions (when there were any) and could be from 800 to 1200 points, then this year, since the results of the UPE, points for the certificate and creative competitions will multiplied by weight coefficients, it will be a maximum of 210 points, and for all specialties.

For more information about the innovations of the admission campaign, as well as how the competitive score is calculated, read in the article by Olga Strelyuk and Natalia Radysh New admission rules require the applicant to take a responsible approach to ZN.UA.

Mirror of the week

Before submitting documents to an educational institution, it is better to familiarize yourself with how enrollment in a university takes place. With all the distinguished awards and confident knowledge, you can fail by applying at the wrong time. It is also worth paying attention to the competitive conditions for the selection of applicants. Each school has its own rules.

General principles

Various conditions affect how admission to a university takes place. The contribution to this process is made by local characteristics, the profile of education, as well as the profession acquired after graduation. Even the material condition of both the applicants themselves and the place where they enter is affected.

Nevertheless, the general conditions for selection in all universities of the country can be traced. Among these are:

• Average school score, USE results.
• Knowledge at the entrance exams, expressed in the marks received for them. (Additional testing is carried out in some universities.)
• The presence of awards for participation in conferences, additional education (preparatory courses).
• The presence of a referral to a preferential place or other privileges.
• Competition during the submission period.

Not everyone understands how university enrollment takes place with a huge flow of beneficiaries. The streaming system also introduces difficulties, when some of the places are already occupied even before the exams begin. This is due to courses from the university, which are held annually on a material basis.

If you carefully consider how enrollment in a university takes place, you will notice that the priority remains for those who have attended additional training from the teachers of the institution for a long time. In other words, ceteris paribus, those who paid for additional classes are taken first. This was previously called the admission of applicants from the exams of the first stream.

Competition on the second stream is often higher. Here the most prepared applicants are selected. There is some inequality for those entering the university. At this moment, "freeloaders" penetrate the ranks of those submitting documents - with preferential directions. For enrollment, it is enough for them to have a rating comparable to the top three in all subjects.

Counting indicators

Let's consider how enrollment in a university takes place based on the results of studying at school - points for the Unified State Examination. For this, several indicators are used, summarized in a table for ease of calculation. However, the results of the rating of applicants can be seen only after the submission of documents to the selection committee and the calculation of all data. So, the lists are posted after July 27 every year. But you can submit copies of documents. However, there are some features, the original will still be needed before the announcement of the results.

To understand how the enrollment to the university on the budget takes place, it is necessary to compare the following indicators of applicants:

• The total score for all indicators.
• Separately, the scores for the three entrance exams are compared.
• Points for individual achievements are taken into account.
• Often, admission to a university is affected by whether the applicant submitted the original document on education or a copy.
• Ceteris paribus, the existence of a pre-emptive right is taken into account (these are targeted areas, benefits, and others).

The above list determines how enrollment in the university takes place according to priorities. If strong applicants have gathered in the stream, it may happen that the round honors student will remain out of work. The troechnik will go to another department, where at that moment the requirements were lower.

Often, with good performance, the rector of the university can make an extraordinary decision and open several additional budget places. This happens quite rarely. After all, the institution itself, and not the Ministry of Education, will pay for the education.

Selection procedure

It is important to remember what date the university is enrolled. The original certificate of education must be submitted no later than the following dates:

• Applicants in targeted and preferential areas - no later than July 29. Documents will no longer be accepted after 4 p.m. on that day.
• For budget places - no later than August 3. Reception ends at 4:00 pm on that day.

How to assess the chances of admission?

Consider how the process of enrolling in a university takes place, using an example. So, we will assume that there are 30 budget places. Of these, only 8 are allocated to beneficiaries and target recipients.

Of all the places, applicants will be able to take 22. Confidence in enrollment can give a position in the ranking, which will be higher than 80% of the 22 budget places. The lucky ones are those whose last names will be higher than the position 22 * ​​80% = 17.6 = 17th line.

If your last name is higher, you can safely carry the original document. There will be a guaranteed admission to the selected university. It is important to be in time before 16:00 on August 3 for admission on a general basis.

How are the recruiting stages different?

Let's take a closer look at how admission to the university takes place. The first wave provides for the allocation of 80% of the places for state employees, the rest are given for targeted applicants. Beneficiaries expect a low passing score, the lack of consideration of other priorities when submitting original documents.

The second wave accommodates only 20% of all available budget places. At the same time, for other state employees, the passing score often becomes higher due to the growing number of applicants who did not fall into the first wave.

Who are the beneficiaries?

To understand how the university is enrolled in waves, it is recommended not to panic immediately after finding a surname below the boundaries given in the example. After all, beneficiaries may not submit documents. To do this, you should monitor the rating lists daily.

If the target recipients have copies of documents, then these places go under the budget. Your last name may be among them. Beneficiaries may include:

• Olympians.
• Applicants with targeted directions from certain schools, gymnasiums.
• Participants in educational projects.

Control Rules

Getting into the list of lucky ones, you need to monitor your position every day. It is especially important to check when trying to enter two universities at once. Those beneficiaries who have a copy of the documents always have a chance to bring the original before 16:00 on July 29.

For budget applicants, this deadline is even higher - until August 3, 16.00. Therefore, constant monitoring of your position will help you correctly assess your chances and transfer the original to another university in time, where the probability of admission will be much higher. It should be remembered that for those who failed the first wave, there is a second one.

When re-selection, you can also transfer the original documents to the selection committees. Together with them, they must also submit an application with a request for enrollment in a university. Special evidence of awards and achievements is also provided.

Conditions for beneficiaries

Documents are submitted to the target places in the first wave. Medalists and other beneficiaries have the right to enter two universities at the same time, submitting a copy to one place and the original to another. If the applicant does not pass somewhere in the rating, then he has the opportunity to participate in the second wave of admission.

However, the re-submission of documents will already take place on a general basis. Students will be selected according to a new rating, higher. This approach allows you to choose the most competent guys from the whole stream.

Second entry

The first stage of selection ends on August 3, and on the 4th, an order for enrollment is already issued and lists are posted. 80% of budget places are already taken. According to the number of submitted applications, the second wave of applicants is going.

At this stage, all the same rules for selecting the most successful guys apply. Original documents must be submitted by August 7th. Already on this day, the second order for enrollment will be issued.

At the second stage, the remaining budget places are filled - 20%. If you did not find your last name in the lists, then you were not lucky enough to become a student. However, the opportunities for obtaining education have not been exhausted.

Did not work out. What's next?

Without going through the competition of the first and second waves of enrollment in state-funded places, you can get an education on a paid basis. Recruitment of applicants also takes place by competition from the remaining lists. The rules are similar to the previous ones: you will need to bring the original documents and an application for admission to the university.

The number of places is determined by the manager of the university and is limited only by the technical capabilities of the institution. The competition here is much lower than for budget places. If this option is not suitable, there are two more possibilities to graduate from a university: a correspondence budgetary form of education or a similar paid one.

Dates for receiving documents:

• Under the contract, applications are accepted until August 27. For students, there are soft loans for studying at universities. You can also pay expenses from the maternity capital of the parents.
• You can apply for part-time education until August 10 for state-funded places.
• The correspondence under the contract is submitted until September 29.

Given all the possibilities, only the lazy does not enter the university. To correctly assess your capabilities, you need to constantly look through the lists and do not despair if your surname does not occur within the bounds of the lucky ones. It is not easy to survive the competition for prestigious places, but with a great desire, you can find a suitable training option.

Did the order go through?

This, of course, is good news if a surname is found on the list of lucky ones. But what happens after enrolling in a university? You should definitely visit the personnel department and find information about the necessary documents.

Those who are enrolled in the university need to prepare photographs for their personal file and student ID. Size - 3x4 cm, corner is not required. The next step is a medical commission, the result of which should be a certificate 086U.

Persons liable for military service hand over registration certificates for reporting. Recently, documents can be submitted through the website of the university or by mail. The meeting date will be posted on the bulletin board soon.

Freshmen will be gathered to get acquainted with the group, the headman will be appointed. A little later, they will announce the day for issuing student records. And a week before the start of classes, you can see the schedule.

For many, you will have to solve the housing issue before the start of classes. You will have to write an application with a request to allocate a room in a hostel if you have the right to do so. Details of this action can be found in the training department. It is worth starting to address this issue immediately after the release of the enrollment order.

The problem of acquiring travel cards remains relevant. After all, they are produced in limited quantities. It is also worth picking up literature before the start of classes.

Probably, here it is worth starting the discussion with the definition of what makes a top university?
From our point of view, the following factors can be taken into account:

1. The teaching staff of the graduating department in the field of study you are interested in.

Who are these people? What is their area of ​​scientific interest? What sciences do they have? It is desirable that they be active practitioners (as an example, the Faculty of Physical Education at the Higher School of Economics, where Yandex employees teach). Here you will not only be trained by your future employers, but you also have a good chance to prove yourself for further employment.

2. Good curriculum.

Ideally, it should be revised every year to take into account the latest trends in all areas of public life. Compare the curricula of different universities to get an idea of ​​what you will be doing in the next 4-5 years.
Are there any elective courses in this plan? Does this choice really exist? Or is it at the discretion of the university?

3. The presence of international relations.

How much is the university valued on the world stage? Does it have "weight" among other universities of a similar profile from other countries? Do foreign citizens enter it? Does this university have connections with foreign ones for internships and double degree programs? (If so, what is it like? Is it a "fucking diploma" for a decent amount of money, or is it an opportunity to go to a foreign university to "gain experience"?)

4. Availability of targeted reception.

Target admission allows you to get a budget place in a university with relatively small scores. How does this happen? Even before admission, you conclude a contract with an organization that is ready to pay for your education. Under this contract, you will enter the university as part of the targeted admission (even before the start of the waves). And even before you act, you can refuse it. Did you suddenly change your mind?
In return, after graduation, you are guaranteed a job in this company.

5. Master's degree in your field.

If you are applying for a bachelor's degree, then be sure to keep it in mind, as employers are more likely to take a master's degree.
At the same time, it often happens that a bachelor's degree goes without a training profile, but in a master's program you can choose an interesting profile for you from the available ones. By the way, you can go to the master's program in absolutely any area of ​​training, but it is better, of course, to deepen your knowledge in the existing field.

However, back to our question. Naturally, there is no unified recipe by which we could say for sure that it is necessary to act only on the budget at any cost. This is not true.

But, as a rule, universities with higher rates have advantages according to the listed criteria.

To answer this question, we advise you to consider not the university as a whole, and the direction of training you have chosen is in it. Assess how well the graduating department is teaching. It would not be superfluous to ask students how they themselves assess the quality of the education they receive.

Do the above points apply specifically to your field of study? After all, it may happen that the university has a clearly expressed one direction (where these factors are well implemented), but the direction you are interested in cannot boast of this. A less well-known university, on the contrary, meets your needs.

Therefore, it is worthwhile to analyze well what exactly this university will give you? Will it become a starting point for getting a highly paid position? Or will you not find a job with this diploma? You can use the site https://university.linkedin.com/ to see which companies employ people who graduated from a particular university.

Also, do not forget that top universities have a system of discounts. It can be from the exam points scored (if you didn’t have 2-5 points to the budget, then the university can make a discount). Or for good motivation in your studies, he is again able to reward you with a reduction in the cost of education.

One of the benefits of learning today is the availability of education. With the help of services such as Coursera or Stepic, you can take courses not only from the best universities in Russia, but also in the world. So, if you feel that the university of your choice does not provide sufficient knowledge, you can make up for it with the help of online educational platforms.

Nevertheless, the choice is always yours, and if you want to consult in more detail on the issue of admission, we are waiting for you in our group.
