Revolution in admission-2025: priorities for contracts
🔄 The targeted placement algorithm, which previously only worked for state funded spots, now covers contract places too! This means that the system will find the best option for you from all the applications submitted. ✨
❓ Why is this important?
📊 In 2024, 4,700 applicants turned down state funded spots in favor of contract places at more prestigious universities. Previously, turning down a state funded spot meant losing the right to a grant. Now, everything works completely differently. 🔄
⚙️ How the new system works:
🔢 Up to 15 applications in total (including up to 5 for state funded spots)
📋 Two types of applications:
- 💰 Applications for state-funded places (up to 5).
- 💳 Applications for contract places (the rest).
🎯 The algorithm works as follows:
- 📈 Considers your applications from highest to lowest priority.
- ✅ It selects the best option where you have enough points (regardless of whether it is budget or contract).
- ⏹️ It stops reviewing after the recommendation is given, even if it is for a contract. All other applications are automatically excluded from the competition.
📝 Application strategy:
✅ If budget is always a priority: place all budget applications in the first positions. 🥇
✅ If a specific university is more important: state funded spot and contract applications for this HEI next to each other — you can submit two applications for one competition offer with different priorities. 🎓
✅ If you have a “dream university”: you can even put its contract application first. 💭
⚠️ Important rules:
⚠️ Refusal of a budget = loss of the right to a grant. 💸
⚠️ Priorities cannot be changed after submitting applications. 🔒
⚠️ Each application must confirm your willingness to study there. ✋
💡 Recommendations from M8:
- 🎯 Be honest with yourself — set priorities according to your real preferences.
- 💰 Consider your financial capabilities — especially for contract places.
- 📅 On the first day, only submit applications that you are absolutely sure about.
🌟 What this means for you:
🚀 Now you can confidently apply for both state funded spot and contract places at your dream university without fear of missing out. The algorithm will find the best option for you based on your priorities!
