Law school benchmark scores expected to increase by 0.25

Regarding the University of Economics and Law (Ho Chi Minh City National University), MSc. Cu Xuan Tien, Head of the Admissions and Student Affairs Department of the school, said that the benchmark scores for the Social Sciences block, including the Law major this year, have a slight downward trend for the admission combination C (Literature, History, Geography), and a slight increase for blocks with the admission combination D01 (Math, Literature, English), D07 (Math, Chemistry, English).

"The school's benchmark scores for majors may decrease slightly by about 0.5 points, or equivalent to 2022 for majors in groups A and C, and increase by 0.25 to 1 point for majors in group D - including majors in Law, International Trade Law...", he said. The reason is that the school's admission quota based on high school graduation exam scores is not much left (40% of the total 2,400 quotas).

The score distribution of block C (left) decreased compared to 2022 and block D (left) increased compared to last year.

This is just a prediction based on the score spectrum, the exact benchmark depends on the number and scores of candidates applying for the respective major.

This year, the University of Economics and Law has a floor score of 20 for all majors and admission combinations. Last year, the school's highest benchmark score was 27.55 for the E-commerce major. The lowest was the high-quality Law (Finance - Banking Law) with enhanced French at 23.4 points.

Mr. Cu Xuan Tien advised candidates to divide their wishes into three groups: the first group should have 2-3 wishes for their favorite majors, the standard scores of previous years can be 0.5-1.5 points higher than the exam scores.

The middle group is the majors whose benchmark scores are equivalent to or differ by about 0.5 points from the exam scores. For this group, candidates should register for about 2-4 wishes.

The last group is the majors whose standard scores are 0.5-1.5 points lower than the current scores. Candidates should register 2-3 wishes in this group plus the wish they have been admitted to early to ensure their ability to pass the university entrance exam.

According to MSc. Do Ngoc Anh, Director of the Center for Information and Communication, Hanoi Open University, the minimum score for admission to the school this year is stable compared to previous years. Some majors have slightly increased compared to the minimum score in 2022, the goal is to shorten the gap between the minimum score and the standard score to create favorable opportunities for candidates in the university admission process.

Regarding the benchmark scores, Mr. Ngoc Anh predicts that there will not be many changes, especially for majors that last year had benchmark scores from 24 to 26. Law majors: Economic Law, International Law of Hanoi Open University are also in this group.

Last year, the admission score based on the high school graduation exam results ranged from 16.5 to 26.75, along with some additional criteria. The Economic Law major, based on the C00 combination (Literature, History, Geography), had the highest admission score - 26.75 points. The other two majors with a standard score of 26 or higher were Law and International Law, both in the C00 combination.

Mr. Le Van Hien, Deputy Head of Training Department, Ho Chi Minh City University of Law, informed that the standard score will depend largely on the number of candidates registering for admission.

On the other hand, the benchmark scores of Ho Chi Minh City University of Law in particular and other schools in general this year will be affected by the Ministry of Education and Training 's preferential point addition regulations applied to candidates from the 2023 admission season.

If last year, all candidates were given a maximum of 2.75 points regardless of their total score. This is also one of the reasons why the standard scores of schools are high. However, this year, for candidates who score 22.5 or more, the priority score will gradually decrease to 30 points, then the priority score is 0.

Last year, the admission score to Ho Chi Minh City University of Law ranged from 22.5 to 28.5 points, many candidates received bonus points from 0.5 to 2.75 points. However, this year, this score range is directly affected by the Ministry of Education and Training's policy of reducing bonus points, so this is also the range of candidates affected by the reduction in scores.

Thus, this year's benchmark score will fluctuate slightly up or down, Mr. Hien predicted.

This year, Ho Chi Minh City University of Law enrolls 2,100 students. At the end of June, the school announced the benchmark for early admission. With the combined review method of high school transcripts and IELTS (or TOEFL), the International Commercial Law major has the highest benchmark. If a candidate has an average GPA of 22.5, they must also have an IELTS score of 7.5 to be admitted. If their GPA is 28, they only need an IELTS score of 7.0.

With the priority admission method for students based on academic records, the standard score for the International Commercial Law major is also the highest, respectively 28 and 24.5 points depending on the average score of the academic records for all three years or the average score of three subjects in the group in 5 semesters.

In addition to the two admission methods mentioned above, the school also considers admission based on high school graduation exam scores with 60% of the target.

Mr. To Van Hoa, Vice Principal of Hanoi Law University, said that this year's admission score is difficult to predict due to two factors.

Firstly, the rate of candidates admitted early by the method of academic records and combined admission reached 49% of the total target. However, this is only conditional admission. After knowing the high school graduation exam scores, the number of candidates who changed the admission method to high school graduation exam scores was quite high, the rate of fake candidates was large.

Second, this year's priority bonus points will fluctuate gradually, from 22.5 to 30 points. Therefore, it will be difficult to predict whether the standard score will increase or decrease, Mr. Hoa affirmed.

In 2022, Hanoi Law University has 2/4 majors recruiting combination C00. The standard score for this combination is the highest in the school, in which Economic Law is 29.5 points, Law is 28.75 points. Meanwhile, other combinations (A00, A01, D01 to D06) only fluctuate from 24.95 to 26.8 points.
