Admissions officers were even more surprised to see that the candidates' wish list did not have any rules.

For example, your first choice is to enter the Vietnam Dance Academy. Choices 2 to 7 are to enter Hue College of Tourism, from 8 to 11 are to enter Saigon College, and the 12th is Yen Bai Vocational College.

In addition, you also register in many colleges in Dong Nai, Lam Dong, Nghe An, Hanoi , Da Nang...

Besides, you have some wishes to enter universities in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi with majors ranging from engineering, languages, social sciences to economics and arts.

Through investigation, it is known that this is a candidate LMĐ. studying at Vinh Phuc Specialized High School (old Vinh Phuc province, now Phu Tho).

In a quick conversation with Tuoi Tre Online , D. was also very surprised to know that the number of his wishes on the system was up to 231.

D. said he intends to study abroad in Australia or Europe after graduating from high school, so he is not too concerned about the university and college entrance exams in Vietnam.

Therefore, D. asked a relative to register his wishes on the system of the Ministry of Education and Training. He did not expect to have such a "huge" number of wishes.

D. said you also do not know which relative registered 231 wishes for you, because you asked many people.

How much does it cost to apply for 231?

The Ministry of Education and Training stipulates that the university and college admission fee in 2025 is 15,000 VND for each application. Thus, candidates registering for 231 applications must pay a total fee of 3,465 million VND.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Education and Training, in 2025 there will be more than 7.6 million applications for university and college admission on the system.
