For the 2026 intake, USSH-VNUHCM is expected to apply two admission methods:
Method 1: Direct admission in accordance with regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training.
Method 2: Holistic admission based on multiple criteria, including: Results of the 2026 National High School Exam (w1); Results of the 2026 VNUHCM Competency Assessment (w2); High school academic performance over three years (w3); Achievements in academics, social, cultural, sports, and extracurricular activities; and International language certificate.
- General formula:
Admission Score = w1 + w2 + w3 + bonus points + priority points
Where:
- w1 = 45% (highest total score of three subjects in a chosen combination from the National High School Exam)
- w2 = 45% (higher score from two VNUHCM Competency Assessment test attempts)
- w3 = 10% (average academic results over Grades 10–12 based on relevant subject combinations)
