Results Below Expectations: What Should Candidates Do After Learning Their First-Choice Result?

The results of the first choice not being as expected can make many candidates confused, especially when there is not much time left for the next choices. However, a result that is not as expected does not mean that the opportunity to go to university has ended.

Instead of hastily registering for any major or constantly comparing scores with friends, the important thing now is to accurately determine the data you have: how many points, which method is it, which industry is it suitable for and what procedures need to be followed next?.

In phase additional admission 2026, the more information candidates understand, the easier it is to make proactive choices. Below are 5 steps to help you determine what you should do after NV1.

Step 1: Determine the correct method and existing point type

Before asking the question “What majors can this score be considered for?”, candidates need to determine which admission method the score they are using belongs to.

In the 2026 supplementary enrollment period, Intracom University implements methods including:

• Consider the results of the high school graduation exam.
• Review high school academic results – transcripts.
• Review the results of competency assessment and thinking tests organized by other educational institutions.
• Consider combining high school graduation exam results with aptitude test scores.
• Consider combining high school academic results with aptitude test scores.

Identifying the correct method is especially important because the same number of points but the threshold for receiving applications may be completely different.

For example, with some majors at INU, if candidates have 15 points for the 2026 high school graduation exam, this score has reached the threshold for receiving applications. Meanwhile, if used transcript score, the corresponding threshold is from 16 points.

Industry only Economic law, the threshold for accepting applications is 20 points for high school exam results and 21 points for transcript.

Therefore, when registering for consulting, candidates should fully provide at least three pieces of information: point – method – industry of interest to be properly tested.

Step 2: Compare the application threshold but do not confuse it with the admission score

One of the common mistakes when researching additional admission is to consider threshold for receiving applications synonymous with certain admission.

In fact, the threshold for receiving applications is the minimum score for candidates to register for admission to the industry according to the corresponding method. Admission is also based on application conditions, admission regulations and actual quota status of the School.

For ease of checking, candidates can make their own list including:

Interested field – Admission method – Current score – Application threshold.

This method helps you eliminate inappropriate options from the beginning and focus on exploring more reasonable options.

If the score is close to the threshold or the application is in a special case, candidates should contact the admissions department directly instead of relying on comments or unconfirmed information on social networks.

Step 3: Choose a major based on suitability, not just scores

After determining which industries are eligible to apply, the next question should not just be “which industry gets the lower score?” which needs to be converted into “Which industry is more suitable for me?”.

Candidates can start with some simple questions:

• Which field am I really interested in?
• Which industry group do my strengths, skills and interests fit into?
• What jobs do I want to do after graduation?
• Is the major’s curriculum consistent with personal orientation?

In the additional admission notice, INU has majors such as Economic Law, Business Administration, Finance – Banking, Accounting, Electrical Engineering, Construction Engineering, Information Technology, Mechanical Engineering, Architecture, English Language, Chinese Language, Tourism, Hotel Administration and Project Management.

Candidates should find out information about each major on the school’s official channels or register for consulting for orientation before making a decision.
