We are entering 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. You may have already sent the documents to the admissions committee. And the most important, most exciting question remains: will they enroll or not? What else can you do to get into your 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 to see if you have collected everything correctly?

To participate in the competition you will need:

• statement;
• copy of the passport;
• a copy of the certificate with an attachment;
• original documents confirming benefits (for preferential categories, target participants, Olympiad participants)
• (sometimes) medical certificate 086/U (this document is not mandatory, it should be checked on the university website).

What might you be missing?

Firstly, if the child did not graduate from school this year, but recently retook the Unified State Exam, he should indicate in the application, the result of which exam 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 extra points for individual achievements! The admissions 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 vary. Another ten additional points can be earned for an essay - the same one that was written in winter for admission to the Unified State Exam. Commissions of humanities faculties are especially often interested in them; some are even ready to extract them from the database and independently re-evaluate them using a 10-point system. So be sure to indicate that you wrote the essay!

Applicant's calendar: don't miss the moment!

Key dates for admission to university are very important. We would like to note that if your child has passed the Unified State Exam and does not take entrance tests and creative competitions, then you have not missed anything yet.

1. Start of accepting documents - June 20(for full-time and part-time studies in bachelor's and specialty programs).

” Please note that these dates, specified in Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia dated October 14, 2015 N 1147 (as amended on November 30, 2015), are marked “no later.” Be sure to check the university website for the exact dates!

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

A fundamental difference in the 2016 admissions campaign is the abolition of taking into account priorities 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 take your preferred specialty, you were automatically excluded from this list and included in the next one. Now the applicant participates in the competition on an equal basis in all specialties (remember, an application for admission can still be sent to five universities for three specialties (training programs) each).

” But where you ultimately decide to enroll will be determined by your application for consent to enrollment. This is just a new thing this year - without this document, an applicant cannot become a student, even if he heads the ranking list and brought the original educational documents to the university.

The procedure for admission to the university in two waves

So, what does the admission process look like this year? You bring documents to the admissions committee according to the list above >>>>. After this, you watch with excitement the progress of your name in the ranking of applicants. Almost all major universities today indicate in the ranking which of the applicants immediately submitted consent for enrollment and original documents (i.e. they are quite serious), and who are not (i.e. they consider this university as a backup option). On the 27th you will see the final list on the university website.

” And only now, after July 27, the real admissions race begins - you can no longer look 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 original documents and consent to enrollment. The university is required to close 80% of the enrollment, while applicants without originals are ignored (even if they are recommended for admission), and those who were at the bottom of the list can move up fairly quickly.

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

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

It depends on what university we are talking about. If we are talking about a prestigious metropolitan university and you are literally on the border of the list of those recommended for admission, then you undoubtedly have every chance to study at the university of your dreams.

” In a provincial university, the chances of admission may not be higher, but lower, because applicants who did not consent to enrollment in the first wave may give it in 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 Construction Institute.

Let's consider the situation using the example of the Mukhomran Fence Construction Institute, widely known in our country (to simplify the situation, we immediately consider only competitive recruitment on a general basis, not taking into account orphans, disabled people and citizens of Crimea)

Situation No. 1

So, 10 people are recruited for the popular chain-link mesh department. 100 applicants submitted documents; their ranked list is available 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 admitted. Yes, yes, and No. 95 was also accepted.

Situation No. 2

Applicants No. 7, 12 and 95 changed their minds about enrolling in the chain-link mesh department.

Applicant No. 12 brought an application to revoke documents on July 30 at five o’clock in the evening. Since the admissions committee only worked until six, his documents were returned to him on July 31 at 10 a.m., after which he managed to take the train and take his documents to MGIMO, where he also qualified for 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 lunch, 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 applicant No. 95, applicant No. 96 was enrolled in the chain-link mesh department on August 3rd.

Applicant No. 7 decided that he also wants to go to MGIMO and he probably has a chance to get there in the second wave. He came to the university on August 4 and also submitted an application to revoke his documents, hoping that they would be given to him within two hours. But, since the enrollment order has already been signed, he is now waiting... waiting... waiting...

Situation No. 3

Applicant No. 95, who at first decided to wait for the second wave of enrollment at MGIMO, suddenly thought “what am I exchanging 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 admissions committee. But it turned out that applicants No. 22, 58, 59, 60, seeing that those whose Unified State Exam results were much worse were admitted, decided to take a risk and also brought original documents and consent to enrollment! Since there were three free places left at the faculty (2 places - 20% of the admission plan, and the place vacated by 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 chain-link mesh faculty. Applicants No. 60 and No. 95 can try their luck next year, although they are much less capable applicants No. 79 and 96 have already become students. Just like that!

The most popular questions from parents of applicants

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

Maybe, especially if you submitted original educational documents, but only one statement of consent to enrollment can be submitted to the university.

What if he changes his mind about enrolling in the specialty in which he was enrolled, but chooses another at the same university where he also applied for admission?

You will have to write a review of the application for consent to enrollment and a new consent to enrollment.

- Maybe it’s better to immediately submit the original documents to the chosen university?

- We handed over the original documents, and then decided to take...

And they must be given to you within two hours if you came to the admissions office more than two hours before the end of the working day, or in the morning of the next day if you applied in the evening. Not the most popular universities sometimes try to withhold applicants’ documents after the publication of enrollment lists, citing the need for time to prepare an expulsion order. Know that this is not true! You are still required to return the documents within two hours!

Important!

You may well be admitted to your chosen university in the first wave, even if you are not included in the list of those recommended for admission. The lists are flexible, you can move up the rankings quite quickly. It is important to bring original educational documents and a statement of consent to enrollment on time. You need BOTH of these documents.

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.

Acceptance of documents to universities begins

In order to submit documents, it is not necessary to wait for the results of the Unified State Exam. The university itself will verify their accuracy, drawing the necessary information from the federal database to which it has access.

You are allowed to submit documents to 5 universities in three directions (group of directions, faculties) in each. Think carefully about whether it is worth the risk and applying to more universities, because... If violators are identified, they will be immediately expelled.

You can submit documents for both budget and paid forms of education at the same time. Moreover, if the applicant has submitted documents for the budget, the paid form of study for the same direction is not considered a separate submission.

Regardless of the number of chosen directions or specialties, one set of documents and one application are submitted to the university. Documents do not require notarization.

Documents can be submitted in person, or sent by mail (with receipt receipt and inventory) or via electronic communication, if the university provides such a possibility.

The personal participation of the applicant when submitting documents is determined by current legislation. It follows from it that parents cannot represent the interests of the applicant in this matter, even if he is under 18 years of age.

When submitting documents by regular mail, keep in mind that the Russian Post works slowly and even in Moscow, the delivery time for correspondence may take weeks.

As for electronic submission of documents, it is better to duplicate it by calling the admissions committee to make sure that an identification number has been assigned to your personal file. With this method of sending documents, as a rule, the presence of this particular number confirms the fact of their receipt.

You can bring both originals and copies of documents to the university, because at this stage, both have the same legal force.

Please note that universities have the right to establish their own requirements for submitting documents, which may differ from the minimum established by Rosobrnadzor and indicating successful passing of the state exam.

When submitting documents, it is advisable to clarify in order to avoid any problems later.

Keep in mind that in the first two weeks from the start of accepting documents, the number of people wishing to submit them is large, so queues of many hours are possible.

Please note that universities do not have the right to require documents from you beyond the list established by law. At the same time, the government of the Russian Federation has approved a list of specialties and areas of training , upon admission to training, applicants undergo mandatory medical examinations. And you need to know this.

Do not forget to pick up a receipt from the admissions office confirming that the documents have been submitted. The receipt must have the seal of the educational institution and the signature of the responsible person.

Remember that winners and prize-winners of school Olympiads applying for admission without entrance tests, as well as certain categories of applicants (disabled children, orphans, etc.) entering within the quota, can use their special right only in one university in one area of ​​training. In other cases, they participate in the competition on a general basis, i.e. according to the results of the Unified State Exam.

Know that if admission to a university is carried out by or by faculties, you will have to choose on your own, then the only direction where special rights will be used.

Keep in mind that admissions committees are made up of people, and all people make mistakes. Therefore, for your part, you need to be very careful. This will avoid problems in the future.

Note to applicants:
- most admissions committees do not work on weekends;
- if you have questions for university admissions committees, it’s easier to ask them;
- also keep in mind that, as a rule, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation launches a “hotline” on questions of admission to universities, where you can get advice from specialists on certain aspects of the admissions campaign;
- you can familiarize yourself with the most likely problems associated with submitting documents

The 25th is the last day for submitting documents to universities. The most nervous period lies ahead: enrollment as a student. In order for it to pass without much damage to health, applicants must clearly understand both the enrollment procedure itself and the intermediate stages of this process.

So, July 25th is the last day for admissions committees of Russian universities to accept documents from late applicants. The entire next day they will process the received data, and already on July 27, a complete list of applicants applying for admission will appear on the information stand of the admissions committee and on the official website of the university, in accordance with the established procedure. In this case, the lists will be grouped into several conditional groups. At the very beginning there should be the names of applicants who have the right to admission without entrance tests (winners and prize-winners of All-Russian Olympiads, as well as winners and prize-winners of Olympiads for schoolchildren included in the established one). They should be followed by the names of applicants entering without competition. Next, the names of those who are going to the target enrollment, and the last of the list are applicants applying on a general basis (based on the results of the Unified State Exam). At the same time, universities are required to form lists in each conditional group in descending order of points scored by applicants.

The next stage begins on July 30. On this day, the stand of the admissions committee should be replenished with new information - an order for the admission to the first year of those who have the right to admission without competition, admission without entrance tests and target places. Also (if there are vacancies), a list of persons recommended for enrollment on a general basis should appear at the stand. Similar information should be duplicated on the official website of the university. From now until August 4, inclusive, applicants recommended for enrollment can bring original educational documents to the educational institution. This stage ends on August 5, when an order is issued to enroll those who provided the originals into the first year. Applicants who do not do this are automatically eliminated from the competition and are considered to have refused enrollment.

If there are free places, further enrollment should be carried out from the remaining number of persons included in the complete list by name. At the same time, the scheme will look like this: on August 5, a list of people recommended for enrollment in vacant budget places is published on the university website and on the information stand of the admissions committee. These applicants are given 5 days to provide original documents, until August 9 inclusive. The stage ends with the fact that on August 10, the following order for the enrollment of persons who have successfully passed the entrance examination and submitted the original document of education should appear on the official website of the university and on the information stand of the admissions committee.

As for paying students, on August 5, a list of applicants by name should also be announced, ranked in descending order of the number of points scored (with their indication), highlighting the lists recommended for enrollment in each area of ​​training (specialty) for commercial places. In this case, the actual enrollment of paid students will occur only after all budget places are filled, but will be completed, however, no later than 10 days before the start of classes. Enrollment of applicants applying for part-time studies also ends at the same time.

Today we will learn how to apply to a university. Almost every student will have to face this process sooner or later. In any case, admission to university will affect those who want to get a higher education. How to implement this idea? What opportunities do all applicants to higher education have? What you should pay attention to? And what pitfalls can modern applicants expect when applying for admission?

Choosing a specialty

So, the first thing you need to do is decide what specialty you want to enroll in. This decision should be made long before graduation from school. So try to think carefully about what you want to become in the future. Your life in the future will depend on this decision.

Once the decision is made (there is no way to do without it), you will have to move on to the next stage. No less difficult than choosing a specialty. And without it, it is impossible to fully answer the question of how to submit documents to a university. What is it about?

University

The next stage is choosing an educational institution where you will apply. This is also an important point that requires serious decisions from you. Explore all possible options that offer your chosen specialty for study; it is advisable to study reviews about a particular university.

After you decide, you need to look at such an item as the exams that you need to take. And there you will see the passing score. Both for admission to a contract basis and for budget training.

How to apply to the university? To do this, you must first select a specialty and university, and also familiarize yourself with information about exams. Here you can find out if there are any additional competitions and entrance tests (in some they actually take place). Ready? Now that the information has been received, you can go to take the necessary subjects, receive certain “points”, which will then be formed into a passing score and will give you the opportunity to study. But that is not all.

Conditions

Entering a university is a responsible matter. And if you decide to get a higher education, you will have to get to know the process better. There are a huge number of nuances that can burden admission. What should you pay attention to first?

For example, how many universities can you apply to at the same time? Some are inclined to believe that there is only one. This is not true at all. Yes, the rules for admitting new applicants change from year to year. But so far they remain similar to 2015. A modern student has the right to submit documents to 6 universities simultaneously. And nothing more.

It is also worth considering that the admissions committee will work with you. The important point here is that only the applicant independently has the right to submit documents to a higher educational institution. No parents (for some reason they are the ones who come with their children to the admissions office, and also try to submit “papers” for the applicants themselves). It is forbidden.

You will be required to submit documents (in full) for training in a particular specialty within the deadlines established by the university. The admissions committee will take from you everything that you leave, and will also notify you about the ranking of applicants. This is where your exam scores will come in handy.

Collection of documents

The acceptance of documents to universities has begun. Typically this process begins no later than June 20th and ends approximately July 25th. That is, you will have a little more than a month to collect and submit. What will be required of you now?

First of all, to answer the question of how to apply to a university, prepare your Unified State Exam results. Depending on how many points you score, you will be able to be enrolled on a contract or budget basis. This will only become clear at the end of the selection of applicants. You only need the originals of the Unified State Examination certificates.

Next is the certificate. That is, documents about your education. In practice, most often this is either a certificate of completion of secondary school (grade 11) or a diploma of previous secondary specialized education. Both copies and originals are needed. Most often, photocopies need not be made at all. Detailed information should be obtained specifically from your university - each has its own rules.

The next document that will help you realize your dream (enrolling in a university) is an identity card. Simply put, a civil passport and its copy. Without this document, you may well be denied acceptance of documents.

Don't forget the photos. You need 6 of them, 3 by 4 format. Inform the photo salon that you need to take photographs to enter the university. And they will quickly give them to you. Old photos will not be accepted. They must be no older than 1 year.

The application is the last thing that is required of you. It is compiled directly at the university, by the admissions committee. It contains information about you, Unified State Exam data, as well as the directions you have chosen for admission.

If an additional test was provided, please bring the appropriate documentation to complete it. For example, photographs (for training to become a photographer), your own drawings on a particular topic, and so on. In general, a portfolio. Sometimes it can help you “get” into budget training. If you are a beneficiary, attach “papers” confirming your special rights.

Medical examination

Take your time to rejoice. Admission to a university and preparation for this process begins long before you have collected a complete list of documents. Another important point that was left unattended is the submission of a certificate of form 086-U to the admissions committee.

What it is? Confirmation of your health status. As a rule, it turns out after going through a huge list of doctors. And health checks are usually organized en masse, directly at school. So, applicants will not have any problems obtaining certificate 086-U. The main thing is not to forget to present it to the admissions committee.

For past years

Sometimes applicants may have some problems with this process. Why? Because their Unified State Examination results are no longer valid. How to apply to a university if you are a graduate of previous years?

There are special rules for such applicants. You will have to pass the required exams directly during the application process. On a certain day (it’s different for each subject), come to the university where you are applying, take the Unified State Exam, and get the result. And you present it directly to the higher education institution. Nothing complicated.

The main problem here is passing the exam at all. Often it is not possible to obtain even the minimum score in subjects. Thus, the admission of graduates from previous years is somewhat difficult.

Ratings and waves

Please note that after the deadline for accepting documents at universities, direct enrollment of applicants begins. It happens “in two waves.” The first, as a rule, ends on July 30. Here, everyone who wants to get a higher education is admitted to one specialty or another according to a general competition. True, often we are talking only about admission on a budget.

The second wave selects from the remaining applicants, based on the Unified State Exam scores, those who will study on a budget. And then it enrolls candidates (from those who remain) in a certain number for contract training. Usually during the second wave you can submit documents for admission (if you did not have time earlier). This stage usually begins on August 4th.

Screening

Often, applicants prefer to submit applications to study at several universities at once. No one can take this right away from you. Of course, the originals will go somewhere, and somewhere they will accept copies of the assembled package. Do not neglect the rating of applicants - if you have high scores on the Unified State Exam, most likely you will need to decide where exactly you want to study.

Why? If by the end of the “first wave” you do not bring the original documents to the “preferred” university, you will be eliminated. And even if you could pass on a budget, this will not happen. You will still have a “second wave” left to submit originals. Be careful and don't hesitate with your decisions. Now it’s clear how to apply to a university and what to prepare for.

In this material you will find all the most important dates for the upcoming admissions campaign.
