It is the only school in Ho Chi Minh City that organizes its own entrance exam, independent of the 10th grade entrance exam administered by the Department of Education and Training.
Last year, the school received nearly 3,100 applications for the 10th grade entrance exam, resulting in a competition ratio of 1 in 5.1 - the highest in the last 5 years. The cutoff scores ranged from approximately 22.5-28.5 for interdisciplinary specialized classes and 22.5-33 for specialized classes.
