Top schools will often receiveds hundreds of thousands of well qualified applications while having an accpetance rate of 10% or lower. Assuming that most students that apply to the school are well placed in terms of grades, test scores, foreign language and extra curriculurs , how does the school discern between an accepted candidate and a rejected candidate ?

I have always wondered this …

Simple here.

100 students are accepted.

You can get 500 points max.

First 100 people, of descening point value, are accepted.

500 points:

50 pts for grade 11 gpa x 10
50 pts for grade 12 gpa x 10
100 pts for general education matura
100 pts for specialized matura A
100 pts for specialized matura B

Then you may get up to 100 pts for adhd, asd, pregnancy, (inter)national specialization related competition top 10, taking advanced matura over intermediate, having an advanced or medium language certificate

You may drop the points for grades and general education and double your matura A and B.

If multiple students compete for the last position with equal score, favour the student according with higher matura scores.

It is unheard of to have 100 student with 500 pts all apply to the same university in the 1st position.
