Detailed instructions for future applicants.

We strongly recommend that you read this article very carefully and several times. In it we will talk about admission to higher education institutions, how this happens, we will try to talk about the pitfalls and give some advice.

Let's start with the fact that you were given a certificate, after which you had a wonderful time lying in a puddle with a bottle of champagne. Congratulations. Half the way has been completed. Next you need to drink mineral water and collect documents, namely:

1. Photocopy of passport
2. Photocopy of certificate and original certificate
3. Photocopy and original of the Unified State Examination certificate (if available)

The original certificate of passing the Unified State Exam may be issued to you very late, therefore, universities in 2012 accepted documents without it. Photos are NOT NEEDED!!! They will be requested from you only after enrollment.

You have to choose 5 universities to which you are going to apply (6 universities will not accept your documents, don’t even try, even if they do, it will still come up later, because the admissions committees have all-Russian databases).

Just a short lyrical digression. Many of you (yes, yes) are waiting for some kind of official announcement of the 2013 passing grade from universities. I hasten to disappoint you. There is no guy on the university admissions committee who points his finger at the sky and says that the passing score for 2013 will be 210 points in total from 3 subjects (conditionally). What is a passing grade anyway? The passing score is the score of the last applicant enrolled on the budget, that is, you will learn about the 2013 passing score only after you are enrolled in the university or not enrolled. But more on that later.

As we have already said, you should not overestimate yourself in any case, even if you have 300 points with 3 Unified State Examinations. Perhaps all the places in front of you will be taken by beneficiaries, Olympiad winners and target students. So don’t choose a bouquet from HSE, Moscow State University, RANEPA, MGIMO and St. Petersburg State University. Be sure to leave 1-2 universities as a “back-up option”, where, as a rule, the admission rate is low.

So, you rubbed your eyes after graduation and went to your first university to apply. Apparently, you will immediately go to your favorite university. But, ATTENTION, most likely, your favorite university is the favorite university of thousands of applicants. Well, that's how it happened. So what's going on? In the first days of the admission campaign, everyone unanimously rushes to HSE, Moscow State University, RANEPA, MGIMO, Finashka, etc., because these are the favorite universities of, well, just everyone. Accordingly, what happens? In the first days of the admissions committees’ work, we have huge queues at leading universities. Therefore, I advise you not to run headlong into your favorite universities in the first days, but to visit the “back-up” universities for now, and then, in the middle, when this excitement from top universities has died down, calmly come to the university of your dreams and calmly submit documents in an hour , and not for 6, as this can happen.

So, you came to the university. In some universities they give you a ticket, in some there is a waiting list, but that’s not the point. The first procedure you have to go through is to fill out an application. In normal universities, you are seated in a classroom where there are many computers, they open a form and you fill it out in electronic format. The students help you, then they print your application form for you. Well, or in many universities they fill out the form for you. A number of universities mock applicants and force them to write this application manually, and they get to the bottom of the smallest blots. Filling out the application alone can take about an hour if the admissions committee is completely disorganized.

So, you have the right to choose 3 (as a rule, in the competitive group there are several faculties with the same entrance tests and similar topics). Those. You can choose 3 competitive groups, and in this group there can be from one to infinity of specialties. For example. You have chosen 3 competitive groups, where in the 1st group there are 5 specialties, in the second group there are 3 specialties and in the 3rd group there is 1 specialty. Here you already have the right to choose all specialties in these 3 competitions. Those. It’s realistic to take part in 3 competitions in 9 areas at one university. In many universities, most often, there is one direction in the competitive group. If something is unclear to someone, ask in the comments. This is not trivial, do not hesitate to ask again.

Also, the university will require you to arrange all these specialties in descending order of “wants”. For example. You are enrolling in economics. We came to the university, and there we have economics in one department, economics in another department, and world economics (for example). We need to arrange them as follows:

First competition group (we want to get into this competition group the most)

1) Economics of the Faculty of Economics (we want to go here most of all)
2) Economics of the General Economics Faculty (we want to go here, but not so much)
3) World Economy Faculty of Economics

Second competitive group (we are applying to this competitive group because we took the same exams, but just in case)

1) Management at the enterprise of the Faculty of Light Industry
2) Management in the sports industry of the Faculty named after. Anastasia Volochkova
3) Advertising and Public Relations

The third competitive group (they just submitted documents)

1) Jurisprudence of the Faculty of Law

So, we filled out the application. We are cool. We submitted documents to 3 competitive groups at 5 universities. Those. In total, you participate in 15 competitions. Now pay attention. You are not the only one who is so fashionable and participates in 15 competitions. Let's imagine. You have 250 points from the 3rd Unified State Examination (well, at least someone here will get 250 points). The score is not bad. But that's the problem. Imagine that each applicant applied for 15 competitions. We open the list of applicants and find that you, with your (fairly good scores), are in 1500th place, despite the fact that there are 100 budget places in your favorite specialty, your favorite university. We go cut our wrists in the bathroom (this is not a call for suicide) or sob into the pillow, as you like. That's the funny thing. 14 out of 15 is real dead Souls, these are just ticked boxes. Because One applicant at this stage of admission occupies 15 places, but he really only wants one. Let’s not talk about the probabilities that there are more popular universities and less popular universities. Let's take an average university. Let’s assume that exactly 14 out of 15 of us are dead souls (in HSE, for example, it’s a little different, there, rather, every 4th will still remain on the budget). Nevermind. We are modeling a general situation. Being in 1500th place, despite the fact that there are 100 budget places in your specialty, I can assure you that most likely you will get into the budget position, since 14 out of 15 will most likely leave. If you are confused, read it again, because what follows is worse.

So, all applicants have submitted their documents. The time of the “first wave” is coming. We are sitting in our 1500th place in university No. 1, in the 2000th place in university No. 2, and in the 500th place in university No. 3, etc. In this case, we fly over with the first wave. Let's return to our university No. 1, where we most want to go. As we have already found out, there are 100 budget places for our favorite specialty. Next are 2 scenarios (different universities work using different systems).

1. Classic version. In the first wave, the university requests original documents from the first hundred. In our case, every 15th person brings documents. 6 people will bring documents to the university by the specified date. There are still 84 budget places left, which will be “raffled” in the second wave

2. Green wave. Some universities are making green waves. They calculate probabilities (in approximately the same way as we described above, or based on data from last year) and recommend for enrollment not 100 people, how many budget places, but 100*(1/probability that a person will bring documents to them , specifically for this specialty). Well, they also adjust for the worse to be on the safe side. In our case, we have. Let’s say the university has calculated that this probability = 1/15 (every fifteenth person will bring documents to them). Those. according to this logic, we should recommend enrollment (request original documents) to the first 1,500 people. Well, universities usually don’t take much risk and make adjustments. In reality, a university can recommend 1000 applicants at once, despite the fact that we have 100 budget places

The most epic situation occurs when you are recommended for enrollment after the first wave at the Reutov University of Leather Gloves and Marketing, but the university you wanted to attend did not recommend you for enrollment after the first wave. What's happening? Many applicants, having such a borderline score, run in a panic to submit their originals to the Reutov University of Leather Gloves and Marketing (parents often force them, or in a panic that you will be left without a budget, take the documents there. Believe me, it will happen). You are successfully admitted there after the first wave, and in the second wave it turns out that you entered the university where you wanted. In this case, you have the right to withdraw your documents (in fairness, we would like to note that the Reutov University of Leather Gloves and Marketing will not let you go so easily and, perhaps, you will remain there. Be careful and know your rights!). The time for the second wave is coming. As a rule, on the 2nd wave they call almost everyone and privately ask you whether you will bring the original or not. In general, you need to constantly be on the websites of universities or on the websites for applicants of these universities (if there are any) and be constantly in the know, because they may not call you. They have the right, well, either they accidentally won’t get through, or you indicated the wrong phone number by mistake.

Exams have been passed, graduation has passed, and student life awaits yesterday's students! The time has come to apply to the university. How to do this without unnecessary worries?
Applicants can apply to five universities at the same time, to 3 faculties. This increases your chances of admission by fifteen times. In addition, you can choose different shapes studies: full-time, evening or correspondence.

    Until July 27 inclusive, on its official website, the university publishes lists of applicants applying for a bachelor's or specialty degree in a budget department of full-time or part-time study and who have passed the minimum score threshold.

    The lists are ranked by the number of points, that is, higher positions are occupied by applicants whose total number of points for the Unified State Examination, additional entrance tests and individual achievements are higher. If the number of points is the same, they take into account who scored more points on the specialized entrance test and who has the right to preemptive right enrollment.

    A properly executed piece of paper is a document.

    Every year, changes in educational legislation can confuse any applicant. Submitting documents to a university can become a very tedious and lengthy process if you do not know the nuances of the admission campaign of your chosen university or the main package of documents required for admission has not been collected.

    First, I would like to remind all applicants that it is necessary to pay attention not only to the presence of all necessary documents, but also on your own appearance, when you go to the admissions office. Remember that you are already adults and should look the part: business style clothes, confident speech, documents must be in perfect condition, that is, not wrinkled or frayed.

    List of required documents

    It is now very easy to find out what documents are required for admission to a particular university. Such information is available on the websites of educational institutions. Start collecting everything you need in advance so that you have time in reserve for unforeseen situations. What you need to have with you and what documents to submit:

    Application form for admission. It can often be found on the university website and prepared at home, where no one will distract you from filling out the document;

    Photos;

    Photocopy of passport;

    Original or copy of a certificate or diploma of secondary specialized education;

    Medical certificate;

    Certificate of delivery or Unified State Exam results.

    All documents for admission should be prepared in several copies in case of sudden damage to the first sample. Place them in different folders so that you have everything you need at hand at the right time without haste or panic.

    Document submission time

    Most often, the largest influx of applicants is observed in the first days of accepting documents. You don’t have to rush, as you risk wasting a lot of time sitting in line at the admissions office. However, don’t leave everything until the last day, because if you don’t have some paper, you may not have time to prepare it completely admissions campaign and submit documents on time.

    Document submission method

    There are several ways to submit documents to a university:

    Personal presence at the university. This method is the most advantageous, since if there are any errors in filling out the documents for admission or a shortage of them, you will know about it immediately and will have time to correct the shortcomings.

    Sending documents by registered mail. This method good for those who live far from the chosen university or for some reason cannot personally bring and submit documents.

    Online submission of documents. This type will be available to those applicants who do not have admission preferences and rights to priority admission.

    Waiting for the result

    Very important point, if you applied to more than just one university. Even at the moment of submitting documents, take a walk around the university, think about whether you would like to study here. The first impression is often the most correct. Think about, or better yet, write down on a piece of paper which of the educational institutions you have chosen is most preferable for you. Wait for a response from all universities where you sent your documents, and only then decide on further actions.

    Main nuances in different universities

    In our country, some educational institutions have the right to set their own entrance exams. These include:

    These universities conduct additional exams, some of which are regulated by the government, and some of which are determined by the management of the educational institution itself.

    The winners of the Olympiads must provide the university with Unified State Examination results in specialized subjects of at least a certain number of points (65 and above).

    Thus, there should not be any particular difficulties in figuring out which documents to submit to your chosen educational institution. Be careful, well prepared and prepared in advance by gathering everything you need. If you have benefits, make sure you have documented proof of this. Meet deadlines, take your time, but don’t leave everything until last. Read all the information for applicants on the university website, or directly there, by carefully studying the stands and posters for applicants. Go for a Day open doors. Be confident in your abilities, spend time before the exam on preparation, and be sure to attend a consultation if one is held.

    Experts' opinion

    Kotov Vladislav, head of the department for admission and pre-university preparation:

    – This publication contains a number of factual errors regarding the list of required documents. So, in particular, current Procedure Admission requires applicants only to provide a document confirming their identity and citizenship, and a document on education of the established form, or copies thereof.

    The photographs indicated in the text (2 pieces) must be provided only to those applicants who enter the university based on the results of entrance tests conducted by organizations independently. Applicants based on the results of the Unified State Exam are not required to provide photographs to the admissions committee.

    The medical certificate, as a document, is not mentioned at all in the Admission Procedure. Admissions committees should not require it from applicants.

    There has been no evidence of USE results for several years. Now all the results of the Unified State Exam are compiled into a special database - the Federal Information System for Providing State Final Certification and Admission of Citizens to educational organizations for obtaining secondary vocational and higher education (FIS GIA and admission). Each university conducting admissions had to gain access to this system and was obliged to use it to check all Unified State Exam results declared by applicants during the admissions campaign.

    A few minor remarks.

    The most widespread admission - full-time - begins no later than June 20. At the same time, the experience of past years shows that graduates of the current year by this date, as a rule, do not yet have certificates in hand and, accordingly, cannot submit documents. Therefore, just in the first days of the admissions campaign, there is no influx of applicants. But after a week and a half, at the end of June and beginning of July, the number of applicants actually becomes noticeably greater. At the same time, when proper organization In the work of the admissions committee, there are still no long queues (at least in our university). It is necessary, however, not to forget that the deadline for accepting documents for different categories of applicants may be different. So, if it is necessary to take additional creative or professional tests for the chosen direction or specialty, the acceptance of documents can be completed as early as July 7 ( the exact date Please check the admission rules of your chosen university).

    Another factual error - winners and prize-winners of school Olympiads from the list approved by the Ministry of Education and Science can take advantage of admission benefits only if they have Unified State Exam results of at least 75 points in a core subject (the article talks about last year’s threshold of 65 points) . At the same time, a specific university can increase this threshold even more. The exact number must be clarified in the admission rules.

    How does the Unified State Exam correlate with entrance examinations, what do you need to know about enrollment waves, is it possible to submit documents remotely, and is it worth waiting until next year if you didn’t get into your dream university?

    How does the Unified State Exam relate to entrance examinations?

    Universities enroll applicants based on the results of entrance tests: Unified State Examination and Olympiads. Certain categories of applicants have the right to take internal exams at the university instead of the Unified State Exam. These categories include, for example, foreign applicants and citizens who have higher or secondary vocational education.

    Universities can also conduct their own tests:

    • additional - are held in some universities specified by law
    • creative - for selection for specialties that are related to art or require initial professional skills

    Carefully study the university's requirements for admission to each field of study. Some tests, for example, university list Olympiads, do not just give additional points, but also additional entrance tests.

    How many specialties and faculties can you apply for at the same time?

    Documents can be submitted to no more than 5 universities and no more than 3 areas of study in each. In total there are 15 chances. Within one area of ​​training, a university has several educational programs, and a separate competition is held for each of them. If an applicant participates in competitions for programs in one direction, this is counted as one application.

    There is a common federal system where universities provide data on all applicants. When it turns out that a person has applied to 6 universities, the admissions committees contact each other and check the information. If the data is confirmed, the applicant is removed from the lists of the university where he applied last statement. No other sanctions are applied to the applicant.

    What you need to know about enrollment waves

Applicants in these categories must bring original certificates and write statements of consent to enrollment before July 28 inclusive.

    First wave

    After the preferential categories are enrolled, 80% of the remaining budget places are allocated for the first wave competition. The first wave includes applicants who have passed the competition, submitted original certificates and written statements of consent to enrollment before 18:00 on August 1. The order comes out on August 3.

    Second wave

    When the list of applicants of the first wave is posted, applicants lookThose who have submitted the original certificate and written a statement of consent to enrollment before 18:00 are enrolled in the remaining places.August 6 and is held by competition. Universities post orders for enrollment on August 8th.

    If they don't give you a certificate.The applicant has the right to pick up his certificate from the admissions office, even after being admitted to the university. The certificate must be issued within two working hours.

    Some unscrupulous universities are trying to fight such applicants, claiming that they have already become students and need to wait several days to receive the document. This is illegal, in such a situation you need to call hotline Ministry of Education and Science.

    Is it possible to submit documents remotely?

    Express delivery.Most universities accept documents by mail. Since sometimes letters take a long time, it is better to use courier delivery. A private courier will cost more, but is guaranteed to deliver documents on time.

    Better in person.If you are planning to come to the city for entrance examinations or summer school, then it is better to apply in person. The admissions staff will help you fill out the application correctly. When an application arrives by mail with an error, it may not be accepted.

    Should you wait until next year if you didn’t get into your dream university?

    Be sure to do so.After enrolling in a university, you have several options for further actions.

    1. Transfer. Study well at your university and apply for transfer to your desired university after the winter or summer session. If a budget place becomes available, you will be accepted as a transfer. If it doesn’t work right away, don’t despair, try again - usually students are transferred during the first and second year.
    2. Retake the Unified State Exam. Don’t waste time: study at a university and at the same time prepare to take the Unified State Exam again with higher scores. Then combine the best results and reapply. If you manage to get in, great, but if not, you haven’t lost a year and have already become a 2nd year student.
    3. Go to graduate school. You can complete your bachelor's degree at one university and then continue your master's degree at another.

    The secret becomes clear. Every year there are people who add points to themselves: they indicate false inflated results and sign that the data is reliable.

    Those who try to deceive the selection committee are removed from the competition. If the deception is discovered after enrollment, then such a student will be expelled without the right of reinstatement.
