How can you treat students like this!? The audience is filled with a whole stream (8 groups!), the lecture lasts without the legally established 5-minute break, but that’s nothing. The classroom is stuffy and it is impossible to write continuously in such a classroom! In addition to students, teachers also complain about this, but there is no action on their own. I will write every time it gets stuffy! I hasten to say from the student’s words that this factor affects performance, not to mention the schedule with which...

Good day to all!

I am writing a review because I no longer have the strength to endure this chaos! *VGU* only sounds serious, but in reality it’s no good. I studied at VSU for 4 years. Where to go? You need to get an education. But these 4 years, I can openly say, I *sat my pants*. Not in the sense that I didn’t do anything (I graduated with honors), but because they didn’t teach us anything. The teachers were late for lectures, and if they arrived on time, they started the couple off with some gossip and that...

Technical Secretary of the VSU Admissions Committee in 2018

What does the Ministry of Education require?

One of the main reasons why the ratings are so unclear is the lack of clear government requirements. The main document for university admissions committees is order Ministry of Education. There is little and vague information about the ranking of applicants.

Everything is spelled out in Chapter V of the document. Let's explain in simple words what is required from the university:

  • A representative of the university should talk about the structure of the rating.
  • The university is obliged to publish the results of the competition in advance known dates. In 2018, the results of the first wave will be on August 3, the second - on August 8.
  • The ranking must be published on the official website of the university in the public domain.
  • The ranking must indicate which quotas the applicant is applying for. He may have benefits (be a target student, an Olympiad winner, an orphan, a person with a disability, a contract soldier) or qualify in a general competition for a budget or paid place.
  • The rating must be updated daily.
  • The university must indicate whether you are admitted with your scores. Here is the wording from the order, it is important:“In the lists of persons who submitted documents, for each applicant (with the exception of persons applicants without entrance examinations) information about whether he/she is entering training on the basis of Unified State Exam results and (or) based on the results of entrance tests conducted by the organization independently (clause 51).”

The university should not require an original certificate from the applicant. Each university decides independently whether to separate applicants with copies and originals of documents into different ratings.

What's in reality

The main drawback. The rating of applicants takes into account all applicants: both with the original certificate and with a copy. According to the rules, an applicant can take copies of documents to 5 universities for 3 specialties in each - a maximum of 15 faculties. As a result, the rating is “inflated” by copies and does not give a real picture.

Recommended lists.If you do not bring the original to the university for a particular specialty, you will not be able to be enrolled. If the university does not have good rating, which answers the question of whether you are admitted or not, it will issue lists of “recommended for admission.” Such paper does not guarantee you anything.

To attract more applicants with originals, the university includes in the list more people than real places in the faculty. Such paper is issued 1-2 times during the entire admissions campaign, although it must be updated daily.

The best option.It is most convenient if the website has a separate list of applicants with originals or is sorted by the type of documents submitted. If such a rating is updated once a day, then you will be able to know whether you are applying or not.

If you have not yet brought the original to the university, then count the people with the originals and compare with the number budget places by faculty. This way the chance of admission will be clear.

Applicant Petrov brought documents for 3 specialties and indicated them in order of priority: physics, astronomy, mechanical engineering. Along with the application, he leaves the original certificate. He doesn't have enough points to enroll in physics. Above Petrov in the ranking are people with higher scores, but with copies of their certificates. Technically, he is defined according to his second priority, astronomy. In reality: if Petrov does not change anything, and people with copies do not bring the original, he will enroll in physics.

The rating in this case does not reflect the real picture. Petrov will be ranked according to his second priority, but will be admitted to the first. This is because the rating takes into account both applicants with copies of certificates and originals.

Why is it so difficult?After all, universities should try to make the website as convenient as possible for applicants. Yes and no.

Why not: due to the demographic gap, many universities do not attract students. And those who are recruiting want to teach the smartest guys. Opaque ratings allow faculties to manipulate applicants and force them to leave the originals. Remember, the words of people from the admissions committee are not a guarantee of admission.

Sometimes bad listings are the fault of developers who do their work in bad faith.

Why yes: it is physically impossible to endlessly communicate with all applicants and parents. The university posts a rating and thinks it is good. But in the end, due to a misunderstanding, the applicant takes the documents and takes them to a weak university, where he will definitely enroll.

Each university chooses its own methods of fighting for applicants. Someone is campaigning for strong teachers, a good reputation and employment of graduates. Someone is manipulating the ratings. There are also those who use both tactics.

What else might you encounter?Each university has its own information systems, and therefore the ratings will differ. It happens that the university doesn’t bother at all and uploads a Word file. This is even more difficult to figure out.

What to do

  1. Figure it out.Most likely, it will take you more than one hour to understand how the site works. Be strong and call admissions committee university Don't hesitate to ask questions if you don't understand something.
  2. Look for lists with originals.This list is the most transparent and makes it clear whether you are applying or not. Only the applicant who brings the original can be admitted to the university. If there is such a list on the university website, check it daily. The situation can change very quickly.
  3. Don't forget about the waves.Not everyone is enrolled at once. First, an order will be issued to enroll applicants with benefits. Then 80% of the budget places will be filled through a general competition. This is called the first wave. After this, you can take the original certificate to the university for another 3 days. Then the remaining 20% ​​of applicants are enrolled in the second wave.
  4. Rely only on yourself.The worst situation is if you remain in the second wave at the bottom of the rankings. At any moment, a person with high scores and originality can come and oust you. The university may not call you. Therefore, call the university yourself and find out how many originals were brought today for the specialties that are indicated in your application.
  5. Don't be gullible.The commission is interested in not letting you go to another university. Universities hold on to applicants with high scores. And if there is a shortage at the university, then they will hold on to any applicant who brought the original.

Do not forget that they must give you the original immediately upon your request. Demand it and don't believe in excuses.
