What is application prioritization?

Prospective applicants for bachelor’s and master’s programs often do not understand what prioritization is, what everyone is talking about, how to prioritize correctly, and why they are needed at all when applying. Let us try to answer all your questions!

What is a priority?

Prioritization of applications is your distribution of applications from the most desirable, most dreamy to the backup options. Priorities can only be set for state-funded applications, so there are only five of them for state-funded applications. In the fifth place, we put the application to the university and specialty that we consider as a backup, but in the first place – your dream, the university and specialty you want to go to the most.

How do I prioritize my goals?

Your dream should always come first. Even if your chances are minimal, you should still try the competitive situation changes every year, and applicants have different ways of passing entrance exams and submitting applications. The second and third places should be given to those institutions and specialties where you have a real chance of getting in, and the fourth and fifth places should be reserved for backup options, where you will also have the opportunity to enter by state order. How to make the right choice? Don’t hesitate to contact us! We will be happy to help you prioritize and apply correctly.

What does the priority of applications affect?

First of all, it affects your place in the ranking list if you have the same score as other applicants. Whom should I choose if I have the same score? Of course, the person who has a higher priority and a greater desire to study at this particular institution. Therefore, you should never neglect priority and prioritize at random. Sometimes it happens that an applicant sets priorities without thinking, receives a recommendation for one of the highest priorities, but in fact wanted to apply to an institution to which he or she had set a lower priority.

Do they consider all priorities?

Of course, but remember – if the top priority has been fulfilled, i.e. you have received a recommendation for a state order, all your applications are rejected and no longer participate in the competition for the budget. You can receive a recommendation only once during the admission campaign.

Can I change the priority of my applications?

Yes, but very quickly – as soon as the university processes your application, i.e. changes the status to “Registered in a higher education institution”, you lose the opportunity to change the priority. Then you can only cancel your application, but with the loss of priority, that is, only four of your applications will participate in the competition for the budget, not 5.

What to do?

First, take your time! Secondly, contact us! We will help you to prioritize and get into your dream university on a budget!

Calculator of the competitive score for masters

Have you already calculated your competitive score for a Master’s degree? If you don’t know how to do it quickly and easily, we have developed a calculator for the Master’s degree programme. Follow the link, choose a speciality, enter your UEE scores (foreign language and GNK separately), the results of the UPEE or professional exam and click calculate! The dream score is in front of you! Don’t forget that you need at least 130 points to be admitted on a state-funded programme. Neither sectoral nor regional coefficients are applied to Master’s programmes. Future masters will start applying on 1 August, but you should think carefully now!

The following formula will be used for the competitive selection for Master’s degree programmes:

Competitive score (CS) = 0.2 × P1 + 0.2 × P2 + 0.6 × P3,

where:

  • P1 is the score of the UEE general academic competence test;
  • P2 – score of the UEE foreign language test;
  • P3 – score of the UPEE or the score of a professional exam in the cases provided for in the Admission Procedure 2024.

The list of majors and relevant UPEE tests is in [Appendix 8 of the Admission Procedure 2024].

At the same time, the score of the USQE on a scale of 200 – 400 is converted into a grade P3 on a scale of 100-200 by multiplying the USQE score by:

  • 0.5 for speciality 125 «Cybersecurity and Information Protection«;
  • 0.625 for the specialities 274 «Road Transport» and 275 «Transport Technologies (by type)».

If, after multiplication, the score of P3 exceeds 200, it is set equal to 200.

Calculator for bachelors

There are a lot of questions from applicants about the calculation of the competition score. What coefficients to use? What and how to multiply? Why do you need to divide everything by the sum of the coefficients? Don’t worry, we’ve already done it all! Use our competitive score calculator and everything will be perfect! Enter your NMT scores, take into account additional conditions (additional points for completing pre-university courses), click «Calculate competitive score» and find out how many points you have!

Remember that the minimum competitive score for participation in the competition for admission to the state order in 2024 cannot be less than 130 points (for specialties 081 Law, 221 Dentistry, 222 Medicine, 226 Pharmacy, Industrial Pharmacy, 228 Pediatrics, 281 Public Management and Administration, 291 International Relations, Public Communications and Regional Studies, 292 International Economic Relations, 293 International Law – at least 150 points for admission by state order and at the expense of individuals and/or legal entities). And don’t forget about the results of the creative competition if you are applying to specialties where it is required!

Please note that the calculator automatically selects the subject that gives the highest competitive score among the subjects of choice (the fourth competitive subject). The sectoral coefficient is valid for applications with the first and second priority for specialties that receive special state support [Appendix 6 to the Admission Procedure-2024]. If the industry coefficient is applied, your score will be automatically multiplied by 1.02.

For the specialties defined in [Appendix 1 to the Admission Procedure-2024] a creative competition is provided, be careful!

The maximum competitive score after multiplying by the coefficients cannot exceed 200.
