The specialized English class at Chu Van An High School is recruiting 35 students but received nearly 1,100 applications, resulting in a competition ratio of almost 1 in 31 - the highest among Hanoi 's four specialized high schools.
The Hanoi Department of Education and Training announced on May 17th that 11,283 candidates registered for admission to four specialized high schools with specialized classes. The total enrollment quota for the specialized programs in these schools is 1,750.
Nguyen Hue High School for the Gifted had the highest number of applicants - 4,127, followed by Chu Van An High School with 3,222, Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for the Gifted in third place with 2,805, and Son Tay High School with 1,129.
Regarding the competition ratio, the English specialized class at Chu Van An High School had the highest ratio – 1/30.97, meaning only one student out of every 31 applicants was accepted. This class had a quota of 35 students but received 1,084 applications. Second was the English class at Nguyen Hue High School for the Gifted with a competition ratio of 1/21.14. Despite receiving 1,480 applications, this school's competition ratio was lower than Chu Van An's, as it was only accepting two classes with a quota of 70 students.
The Literature specialized classes at these two schools also have similar competition ratios, both at 1/13, followed by the Computer Science class, at around 1/10-1/11.
At Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for Gifted Students, 11 out of 12 specialized classes have a competition ratio below 10, with only the English class having a ratio of 1/10.31. Among the remaining classes, Russian has the lowest ratio at 1/1.06. The class's quota is 35, but only 37 candidates registered to take the exam. This is also the class with the lowest competition ratio among the four schools. Other classes at Ams High School have a common competition ratio of 1/4.
Son Tay High School has an admission ratio of 1/1.86-1/5.8, the lowest in most of the specialized classes the school offers, except for History and Geography.
Candidates applying for specialized 10th-grade classes must take three subjects—Mathematics, Literature, and Foreign Language—in the public high school entrance exam, which takes place over two days, June 10-11, followed by an additional specialized subject exam on June 12.
Candidates applying to a specialized class will take the exam for that specialized subject, except for the Computer Science class which takes the exam in Mathematics. The admission score is the sum of the exam scores, with the specialized subject score multiplied by a factor of two.
Students can register for a maximum of two schools (which may be in the same specialized subject) or two specialized classes within the same school, provided that the specialized exam schedules do not overlap. The cutoff scores will be announced on July 8-9, and candidates can confirm their enrollment online or in person.
