What to do if you didn't get into university. What to do if you didn't get in? What to do: the child did not enter anywhere
There are situations among graduates when, for various reasons, they fail to enroll in college. It is very difficult for them to decide how to behave in this situation. Often, parents are not able to help with practical advice, because they themselves are sometimes at a loss. Without giving in to emotions, let's look at this situation calmly.
In this case, there may be two types of failed graduates: when a 9th grade graduate unsuccessfully tried to enter a secondary specialized institution, and when an 11th grade graduate did not enroll.
What to do if you didn't go to college after 9th grade
Here, as they say, there are three options for such a graduate:
1. Continue studying in the 10th grade of your school, although at first you will have to endure some malicious hints and glances, so to speak, from ill-wishers. However, this is not at all fatal and over time the taunts of classmates will fade away. This, by the way, is the best option.
2. Take courses to master any necessary work specialty that may be useful in the future and at the same time expand the knowledge needed to get into college on the second try.
3. Go to work, fortunately there are now many jobs that do not require qualifications that will help you overcome a difficult year and earn some money. However, in this case, the chances for future admission to college in the chosen specialty increase. He has the opportunity to take preparatory courses at this college before entering.
No matter how the situation develops for a graduate after the 9th grade, he has a choice of what to do, and here it is an important question that this choice is supported and approved by family and friends.
What to do if you didn't go to college after 11th grade
The above points 2 and 3 are also relevant for 11th grade graduates.
In addition, if this graduate is a young man, he has the opportunity to serve in the army, where he can also obtain the desired civilian profession. Moreover, after the army, he has the opportunity to extend his service under a contract, enter educational institutions for the police and civil protection of the population, he can go to work in security companies, etc.
However, there are, as they say, undercurrents here. Military service is not always beneficial - a lot depends on the military unit where he served, the commanders and officers to whom he was subordinate, etc. And will he have the opportunity there to prepare for re-entry to college if he still firmly decided to follow the path of obtaining his chosen profession in college? The question, apparently, is rhetorical.
For girls graduating from the 11th grade, it is much easier - they have a lot of options for taking various courses, getting a job that does not require specialties, etc.
By the way, all obstacles can be overcome if you have the desire to learn, the main thing is not to get upset and strive to achieve your goal.

presumptuous... it’s just that our eldest was always very independent and said that there was no need to help with entrance issues, “she does everything herself.” Faculty itself (no need for advice, I know it myself), no need to apply to another university (“why? I’ll go here), no need to tick the “commerce” box, I’ll go on a budget). Well, something like that))). she is 27, she is the same))).All by herself.Salna
yes, of course, I always feel sorry for applicants to creative universities, they have to take a lot more tests, several creative ones and the Unified State Exam, then all the points are added together.
Because of this feature, sometimes it is not possible to apply to even two universities, let alone 5. When she re-entered and applied to the National State Academy of Arts and Sibstrin, there was a layering of one schedule of creative exams on another, she had to go to the admissions committee and somehow get out.
And with the youngest daughter, who entered Moscow 2 years ago, the situation was also the same, a narrowly focused profession was chosen, she decided to enroll in two, hoping that she would be able to run between two universities (VGIK and another one, I don’t remember, on the outskirts of Moscow) in the end they were layers, or in a row on one day, but there was not enough time to get from one institute to another (3 hours), so in the end I had to choose where to continue to participate in the admissions rounds, I chose VGIK and... I entered)). By the way, first for commerce, this is also cool, there is a huge competition, out of 400 people one group of 24 people, of which 10 are budget places. And after finishing the 2nd year, this summer, for excellent studies for two years, unexpectedly for all of us.... she was transferred to the BUDGET))). We really still don’t believe in this happiness. And you don’t even have to pay for the dorm, commercial people pay 4t.r., and state employees pay 1 ruble! I completely agree that there will be time to think about the choice, and not rush somewhere just to get in.
I applied a long time ago, there was no Unified State Exam then. Gratitude to my parents, who did not put pressure on me and gave me the right to choose. I started studying after 5 years!!! after graduation. I entered on my own, without connections or money. During this time, I understood where I wanted to study, I understood where my place in life was. I studied, but that’s not the right word, I just flew classes. I was incredibly interested. It was just MINE.
So, it’s never too late. Something else happens... Tanich7, the right choice. They walked purposefully towards the goal. It’s better than going where you had enough points and then regretting it. And arrogantly, did you regret that you did not apply to other universities, in other cities for similar areas? Tanich7
What great guys you all are. Good luck to your daughter in her chosen profession.
What Unified State Exam subjects are required at the National State Academy of Arts? You write that your daughter was passing some subject. Those. Are they accepted not only based on the results of a creative competition, but also Unified State Exam scores are taken into account? Good day everyone! My eldest daughter found herself in exactly this situation. It was... about 8 years ago. I studied well, no problems, passed the required Unified State Examinations excellently, everything was decided long ago in my profession, I graduated from an art school and took preparatory courses at a university. But...I went a little too far with my arrogance)). She applied to only one university - NGAA, only to one faculty and, moreover, deliberately did not check the box “if I’m considering a paid option for studying,” in her opinion, nothing foreshadowed any other outcome than admission to the budget. The faculty is creative, the Unified State Exam did not decide much. Several creative long exams. And then...something didn’t go well, I was unlucky with the location (the light fell poorly), or something else...in short, I didn’t arrive! Shock. Tragedy. ALL the classmates of the successful gymnasium entered wherever they wanted, they say, but I didn’t, I’m mediocre, a loser.... I got sick... after 5 days. I quickly signed up for the “zero” preparatory course “for those who did not enter” (more expensive and more serious than the preparatory course). x for high school students). I immediately got a job at the National State Academy of Arts as a laboratory assistant (in her case, the library, by the way, turned out to be a very useful job, a card index, the ability to truly restore bindings, again, everything is official, three years of experience, salary, albeit small. And what kind of women work there -librarians!, people with higher education and big hearts, they had (and still have) wonderful relationships. And now we haven’t seen our daughter for a year from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., because half a day of work, half a day of classes. And here’s a new one "ambush" - they made changes and Russian universities added new mandatory Unified State Exams, and ours too. My daughter had to prepare for another Unified State Exam additionally and take it under the direction of the District Education Department in one of the city schools.
And one more important detail - we organized a meeting for her - a conversation with a person who graduated from this university and unexpectedly it turned out that she was entering completely the wrong department! Based on her skills, desires and ideas about her future profession, she must enter another one. It was luck!
result - I entered the next year on a BUDGET. At the National State Academy of Arts, at another faculty. Of course, now I’m going to a second university (Sibstrin, just in case) and as many faculties as possible, and a tick on “paid”...)).
Moreover, I didn’t leave after the 4th year, as many did, with a bachelor’s degree, but completed my 6th year of study and defended myself.
I believe that everything that is done is for the better! and this way is also not bad.
By the way, my husband and I supported her in everything and did not put pressure on her, we tried to instill in her confidence in her own strengths.
good luck to everyone))) Demo version
You could just go to graduate school. And then there are other options.
There are completely legal ways, without fake certificates, etc. How did you decide this yourself? If it’s impossible for health reasons, then he won’t solve it himself. The rest are liable for military service, even with a blue or red diploma. If only graduate school

Yes, this is, rather, a set of stereotypes about the army, as if there are only idiots and ignoramuses there. If you had the desire, you can develop intellectually anywhere, and then enroll later, if it didn’t work out right after graduating from school.
Don’t you know that they also serve after VO?I didn’t write a single word about blockheads, ignoramuses, mama’s boys and eligible bachelors. And she didn’t evaluate anyone. This is what you write.
If you had the desire, you can develop intellectually anywhere, and then enroll later, if it didn’t work out right after graduating from school. You probably have your own set of stereotypes... I entered with a reserve (three 5s and 4s), but for a not particularly interesting specialty. Then again, and also with a reserve - but my reputation worked against me, the secretaries of the dean’s offices communicated closely. The result is two unfinished higher degrees, and the profession was acquired through self-education and rake bumps.
No, the years at the university were not “lost”, they gave me the ability to think and have an outlook, but the price - broken self-esteem - is unjustifiably high.
What is a year “to think”, and even better, to work in your chosen field - compared to 30+ years of study and work? It makes sense for parents to show foresight, which the graduate does not yet have.
Or you can spend a year searching for yourself and quit in your final years. By the way, where does the belief come from that in 365 days a child will definitely decide what he wants to become? I didn’t decide it at school, but a year after school I’ll figure it out right away. Will a year in the army, which is now called a children's camp, turn a child into a real man? Oh well. And if a boy lives in another city alone, in a dorm for 5 years and is still developing intellectually, will he not become a real man? Don’t mothers look after those serving in the army? A set of stereotypes I was terribly afraid of not getting in after 11th grade. There was no Unified State Exam then. We went to the university for preparatory courses and took exams in the spring. Then graduation at school, then entrance to university...I didn’t submit documents at all to where I wanted to go for fear of not submitting them. I applied to where I was almost sure that I would get in.
As a result, after 3 years I left the first university (with an average score of 5.0) and entered another. Again, with a safety net - I entered from copies, and then urgently “scratched” the originals from the first university
My mother, like Svetlana, had a horror story: if you don’t do it, you’ll have to go wash the floors. I ended up washing the floors, even with a diploma. Because I worked in intensive care as a nurse while being a medical student. I earned money for my graduation, and went on vacation after receiving my diploma - I was entitled to vacation, I earned it (and in intensive care it is long), I didn’t see the point in quitting early and losing my experience. I quit on the eve of employment in a new specialty. I will sign every word. Working in universities, I saw enough of students. Half do not like their future profession. 20% are basically incapable of it and will not adapt to it (the establishment is paid, so they took everyone). “Journalists” who studied 15 years ago sit at the reception desk in hairdressing salons. No, they can’t do anything with their hands.
This year there was an influx of “changed their minds” - I had those preparing for the Unified State Exam who entered 2-4 years ago, graduated and... changed their minds. Now they act thoughtfully.
Today's graduates are not afraid of losing a year. I support them in this - at least such readiness reduces stress during exams. But parents get hysterical and push their children into universities: “How are we going to look our relatives in the eye?” It’s better to spend a year “searching for yourself” in life than to drop out of school in your final year (my son’s friend did this, and no amount of persuasion from friends and parents helped).
As for the army, my opinion is that this is a very necessary school for our sons. I don't think this is a lost year. Our sons are becoming more responsible and independent, while some of them are looked after and controlled by their mothers almost until retirement, and then we wonder “where have the good men gone, who should we give our daughters in marriage to?”
The results of the admissions campaign will soon be announced in Ukraine - children and their parents will find out which university they entered. But what if not? What if your child didn't get into the university he wanted? Desperate, tearing your hair out and going where the points were enough? What to do - advice is given by the scientist and writer Vladimir Spivakovsky and practicing psychologist Vera Romanova.
Vera Romanova, candidate of psychological sciences, practical psychologist
A person should have different experiences, and there is no need to give up negative emotions about the fact that this happened. You need to give yourself plenty of time to worry, cry, and then think about how this situation is useful for your life. At one time, I entered anywhere, anywhere, except for the specialty I wanted to enter - I dreamed of getting into customs. As a result, I decided not to waste a year and went to study psychology, English and literature. And after the first session, I realized that I was where I needed to be.
Of course, we live in a world of assessments. And when such a situation occurs with admission to a university, the first thought is: “What will my friends, classmates, teachers say? That I’m a loser!” And naturally, there will be people who will say so. External assessment depresses this situation, and in fact, this is the main experience that the child and his parents face. Based on this:
1. It is important to understand how I evaluate myself, to record my own point of experience: “Do I really feel what is happening to me? Or is it not entirely up to me, I just found myself in such circumstances? But was it really when I was preparing for exams that I was realizing my dream, and not my parents, for example?”
2. The current situation can be perceived as a way to start everything from scratch, anew. You need to clarify your dream and ask yourself: what kind of person do I dream of becoming, who do I see myself in life?
3. And then decide what to do next. For example:
— we will restore what was lost, so that further everything will be as is accepted in society (we will prepare for another year, go to tutors, submit documents again);
- we can go for help (for example, I myself can’t do anything, but they can tell me what courses to take in order to enroll; where to get a job if we decide to work);
- we can look for alternative options (enroll in Coursera courses, for example, find a program for studying at a foreign university. But parents need to understand that if your child left this country to study in Europe, for example, then he left here forever, because very It will be difficult for him to return and live here further with a pro-European mindset).
4. You can build your life not only according to the principle of “making your dream come true,” but you can create a real project for your life. Do the following exercise with your children, answer 4 questions:
— what do I want to change/do in my life?
- what I do not want?
- who will help me with this?
- and who will interfere with this?
After answering the question “What don’t I want?”, sweep these ideas out of your head right away. Focus on answering the question: “What do I want to change?” The criterion for the success of a project is the degree of its feasibility: can I, given the opportunities that I have, take it and implement it, or am I imagining it? We can rely on fate, on relatives, on the education system, or we can only rely on ourselves. If you say you can do it, then your project is feasible, and the rest is a matter of finding the resources. Hint: your resource is hidden in the answer to the third question.

What to do if the child is not admitted anywhere? There are several options.
First. Get upset, become depressed, blame everyone around you, curse fate and be disappointed in people and in the world.
Second. Take note of this trouble and consider several ways out of this situation. It might even turn out that not everything is so bad. Millions of people did not enroll in the first year and they did not feel much loss afterwards.
Third. Keep in mind that (how can I put this mildly), our domestic education as a whole is very weak, and after studying for 5-6 years, you will not know or be able to do anything, and there will be no work. That's why…
Option four. If you have brains and character, or at least one of these two, then it’s worth pursuing. You don’t need a lot of money there, and the prospects are much brighter. Thousands left and have no regrets.
Fifth. Follow the path of fashion and benefit. Enter some university remotely, preferably Western, there are a lot of them now. If you have problems with the English language, then you need to decide for yourself a fundamental thing: why do you need higher education at all if you don’t have fluent English? Nowadays this is simply a must. So go ahead, online.
Sixth. Go to work. From my point of view, this is the coolest way out, since understanding “work” is now valued much higher than any diploma. Therefore, if you choose where to work, then choose the company of your dreams and go there for any position, even the most insignificant one. Because the turnover of personnel is now so fast that you can even advance in your career.
Seventh. Sit on mom and dad’s neck and make them nervous for a whole year.
In general, keep your nose up, guys. Previously, even on this topic, there was a song like this: “If a bride leaves for someone else, then it is not known who is lucky.” The university to which you were not accepted is that bride... Be able to extract good luck from every failure.
What to do if it was not possible to enroll on a budget, and the cost of studying in a paid department is too high? For many, this situation is tantamount to the end of the world; years of diligent study seem like wasted time, and the future looks vague and unpromising. In fact, there is a way out, and there is more than one!
What to do if you didn’t go to university on a budget
If you were unable to enroll in a government-funded department, and you cannot financially cope with contract training, but a diploma from this particular university is the goal of your life, try one of the following options:
1. Find out about the benefits that are available at this educational institution. There is a chance to be enrolled in grant training for disabled people of groups I and II, as well as some other categories of citizens. A complete list can be found in the university admissions office.
2. Don’t give up hope of breaking into the second stream. As a result of the fact that some applicants refuse to enroll, if there is a shortage of students, according to the law, it is permissible to formulate lists before September 1. Usually the names of the last state employees from the second wave become known on August 6.
3. Head to the correspondence department of the same university. Applicants who do not get enough points, but successfully pass the exam, may end up in an alternative department of the desired faculty by transfer. The opportunity to work, become independent faster and gain experience in your chosen field is worth a lot!
Didn't go to college - what to do
If you still fail to become a student at the institute, there are several options:
1. Spend this year preparing and retake the Unified State Exam next year. It is possible to retake any subject, both compulsory and optional, and then choose the best result obtained over 2 years. There is nothing strange or shameful that past graduates strive to improve their results. The only thing you need to do is register for the exam and prepare well in one of several ways:
- Self-training requires dedication, methodical and daily practice.
- Group courses for preparing for the Unified State Exam are not cheap, but much cheaper than studying in a paid department. Moreover, you can choose exactly those items that cause great difficulties.
- Lessons with a tutor are even more expensive, but they also promise more serious preparation, especially if you find a teacher who knows the intricacies of the Unified State Exam.
2. The treasured education does not have to be higher. For example, studying in college involves specialized training and continuing education at the university. After graduating from many colleges, you can easily find yourself in the second or third year of a partner university. They enter college on the basis of a nine-year education certificate.
3. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to do something new. For example, master a complex graphics program or create your own website, take courses for photographers or bartenders. There are many opportunities to work freely and have a good income. If you are a man, serve in the army. Without military training, you cannot get a job in law enforcement agencies and a number of departments, so why deprive yourself of many opportunities?
You should not assume that your chances of realizing yourself are less than others. There are many paths and everyone has their own path!
When other applicants successfully entered the budget program, but you didn’t even qualify for the paid one, the desire to do something drops to zero. But inaction will not fix anything. So don't despair! I have selected 6 options for you where you can move on.
Try to go to college
Until August 9, you have a chance to submit documents to college on a budget, until August 16 - for a paid one. Look into to find a suitable specialty. Please note that you will not be able to enroll in a program based on general basic education (9 grades) if you have completed 11 grades.
Some guys go to college or university for one year, and then take away their documents and re-enter where they didn’t go initially. This scheme really works: paid students are paid for two semesters, and state employees do not pay anything (they did not receive a diploma, so they do not need to pay for the distribution). This is a clever way. But unfair. A person takes someone’s place, forces the state to spend money on him, and even mismanages his own funds and time. Choosing such a path simply so that your mother does not scold you and your friends do not point fingers is not very wise.
Get ready for DH again
Are you planning to storm your dream university next year? Then continue preparing for the CT. Exercise regularly, avoiding. And if you feel that you won’t be able to sit down with your textbooks, look for one. The teacher will help you catch up quickly and painlessly.
Don’t throw away your CT certificates for 2019 if they have . They are valid for two years, so you can use some of them for admission in 2020. True, next year. How much exactly is still unknown.
Sign up for training courses
If you have definitely decided on a profession, look for training courses on the Internet (offline or online). If you find free online courses in your profession, that’s great. But remember the other side of the “freebie”. You are more likely to use something you pay money for. Free courses, unfortunately, are less motivating.
Get a job
Among the vacancies marked “without work experience” and “without higher education” there are no prestigious professions. , Without having any experience, it’s still possible. Anyway, .
Join the army (for guys)
If you google the phrase “I didn’t go to college,” one of the options for its continuation will be “army.” And this is also a way out of the situation. After service you will receive a military rank and you will be able start a career in law enforcement agencies (Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ministry of Emergency Situations, KGB, etc.).
Develop and look for yourself
In Europe, applicants are in no hurry to enter a university, but spend a year after school to find their calling. They travel, participate in volunteer programs, and learn different professions. This helps them find something they love and
