With less than 21 points, which medical schools have a chance of passing?

This morning (July 22), after the Ministry of Education and Training announced the threshold to ensure the quality of admission to the health sector, many universities announced the minimum admission scores and predicted the standard scores for this sector. So for the medical sector, is there any opportunity for candidates with scores below 21 points?

Associate Professor, Dr. Luong Van Cu, Principal of Cuu Long University, said that in 2025, the school will set the minimum admission score for health majors, including medicine, equal to the input quality assurance threshold that the Ministry of Education and Training has just announced for the method of considering high school graduation exam scores.

Specifically, the minimum scores for the health majors that the school is training are as follows: medicine, dentistry: 20.5; pharmacy, traditional medicine: 19; medical imaging technology, medical testing technology, rehabilitation technology, midwifery, nursing: 17.

Medicine has the highest minimum score in the health sector. At many universities, the predicted admission score is 20.5.

According to Associate Professor, Dr. Luong Van Cu, the expected benchmark scores for these majors will be equal to the minimum admission score. Thus, candidates who score 20.5 points have a chance to be admitted to the medical major at the school.

Van Lang University has just announced the minimum admission score for the health sector. Specifically, 20.5 points for medical and dental majors; 19 points for pharmacy; 17 points for nursing and medical laboratory technology.

"This year, the B00 combination score (math, chemistry, biology) is low, so the Ministry's input quality assurance threshold and the school's floor score have both decreased. It is predicted that the benchmark score will also decrease compared to 2024 and be equivalent to this year's floor score. Therefore, candidates who score 20.5 points or more have a chance to be admitted to the school's medical major. Similar to other health majors, candidates with a score equal to the floor score have a chance to pass," informed Dr. Vo Van Tuan, Vice Principal of Van Lang University.

At Nguyen Tat Thanh University, before the Ministry's regulations on input quality assurance, the announcement of general medicine and dentistry was 22, traditional medicine and pharmacy was 21, nursing, medical testing techniques, and rehabilitation techniques was 19.

However, the school currently announces the official floor scores as follows: general medicine and dentistry: 20.5; traditional medicine and pharmacy: 19; nursing, medical testing techniques, rehabilitation techniques: 17.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoang Nga, in charge of communications at Nguyen Tat Thanh University, commented: "The school expects the benchmark score for general medicine to be slightly higher than the floor score, while the remaining majors will be equivalent to the floor score."

Similarly, Hong Bang International University also announced the minimum admission score for medicine and dentistry as 20.5; pharmacy as 19; nursing, midwifery, rehabilitation technology, medical testing technology, medical imaging technology and public health as 17. It is known that in 2024, the standard scores for these majors of the school will be equal to the minimum score.

Floor score for health and education majors

This morning, the Ministry of Education and Training announced the issuance of decisions on the 2025 floor scores for health and teacher training majors. The floor score for health majors decreased by 2 points, while the floor score for teacher training majors is the same as last year.

Specifically as follows: For the health sector with a practice certificate, the quality assurance threshold for the medical and dental sectors is 20.5 points (down 2 points compared to last year); the pharmaceutical and traditional medicine sectors are 19 points ; the health sectors including: nursing, preventive medicine, midwifery, medical testing techniques, medical imaging techniques, rehabilitation techniques, dental prosthetic techniques are 17 points . Thus, all sectors in the health sector this year have decreased by 2 points.

For teacher training majors, the minimum score for university level is 19 points . For physical education, sports training, music pedagogy, and fine arts pedagogy, the minimum score is 18 points for the combination of 3 cultural subjects. Other combination of admissions are implemented according to current admission regulations.

The minimum score for admission to the college-level preschool education program is 16.5 points for the combination of 3 cultural subjects. Other combination of admissions are implemented according to current admission regulations.
