Candidates are excited on the day of completing procedures for the 2024 high school graduation exam
Admitted to at least 1 school
On June 20, Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics announced the benchmark scores for early admission methods including admission of excellent students, admission of learning process by subject group, admission based on the capacity assessment test scores of Ho Chi Minh City National University. Similarly, many universities such as Transport, Viet Duc, Ho Chi Minh City Bank, Ho Chi Minh City Law have also announced the benchmark scores for early admission in recent days, helping many candidates enter the 2024 high school graduation exam with a "light burden" because they have "half a foot" into university, just need to avoid failing to become a new student of their favorite school.
Like Pham Gia Bao, a student at Phan Dang Luu High School (Binh Thanh District), said he was admitted to the information technology major at Van Lang University (HCMC) by considering his transcripts 2 months ago, so now he just "has to take the graduation exam and that's it". "I feel much less pressured, but I still try to learn all the introductions, conclusions and some arguments of the works to prepare for tomorrow's literature subject," the male student said.
Candidates and parents check the necessary documents at the exam gate.
Similarly, Vo Quoc An, who studied at the same school, also shared that he only took the exam with the intention of passing the graduation exam because he had been admitted early to Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology based on his high school transcript. “I just need to get an average score, I don’t have high expectations, just passing is enough. For literature, I ‘bet’ everything on 3 works: Viet Bac (To Huu), Dat Nuoc (Nguyen Khoa Diem) and Song (Xuan Quynh),” An said.
Not outside the “trend”, the group of friends Thai Thuy Linh, Dong Xuan Nhi and Tran Le Anh Thu, all studying at Phan Dang Luu High School, said they had been admitted early to at least one private university such as Hong Bang, Van Lang… before entering the 2024 high school graduation exam. However, while Anh Thu “finalized” admission to the Vietnam Aviation Academy, Thuy Linh and Xuan Nhi affirmed that they will try to do better in the exam to have the opportunity to be admitted to public universities such as Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy.

Admitted early, but still worried
Not only Thuy Linh or Xuan Nhi, some other candidates, although admitted early, are also determined to reach other aspirations that they think are "higher" than their high school graduation exam scores. For example, Le Minh Thu, a student at Phan Dang Luu High School, hopes to get a score of 8-9 in literature and English to become a new student majoring in graphic design at Ho Chi Minh City University of Architecture, even though she was previously admitted to Arena Multimedia.
“I am feeling extremely stressed because my recent drawing test scores were not as expected. Even though I keep listening to music and taking deep breaths to calm myself down, I don’t think it helps,” Thu confided.
Candidates take the opportunity to review the content of literature works.
At the Nguyen Du High School exam site (District 10), Tran Minh Phat, a student at Nguyen Du High School, said he was also admitted early to the banking major of Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and the International Training Institute of this university. “From the time I submitted my application until I got my admission score, I waited anxiously every day. So when I received the news that I was admitted early with only 3 points left, I shouted with joy because this was my first choice,” the male student said.
Although he has entered the desired major, Phat admits that he will not “give up” on the high school graduation exam but will continue to aim for a score of 9 – 9.5 in all subjects to aim for a scholarship from the school. “I plan to do my best within my ability to get the best results, and at the same time participate in many extracurricular activities to increase the competitiveness of my application,” Phat emphasized.
Also admitted early to Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics but in the finance major, Huynh Gia Bao, a student at Nguyen Hue High School (Phu Yen), said he still focuses on the high school graduation exam to have more choices of majors. “In high school, I was involved in many extracurricular activities related to design and communication, so I quite like running events and also want to pursue a career in digital communication or multimedia design. My mother also hopes that I will pursue these creative majors,” Bao shared.
