Eight member schools of Vietnam National University HCMC (VNU-HCM), including: HCMC University of Technology, University of Natural Sciences, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, International University, University of Information Technology, University of Economics and Law, University of Health Sciences, and An Giang University, will no longer admit students based solely on high school finals results. All eight schools use a unified admission method throughout the system, allowing candidates to use high school graduation exam results, the aptitude test organized by VNU-HCM, high school academic results (transcripts), and other appropriate criteria for admission. The combined admission formula for 2026 is calculated according to the principle: Combined admission score = w1 × high school graduation exam score + w2 × aptitude test + w3 × high school academic record score + bonus points (if any). The University of Economics HCMC (UEH) has also stopped considering academic records and high school graduation exam scores as independent admission methods. He said the high school graduation exam plays an important role but primarily reflects the results of review in a short period.
