The University of Tokyo Entrance Examination Supervision Committee has decided to double the recommendation limit for each high school from the previous maximum of 2021 to 2 from the recommended entrance examination for admission in the spring of 4.The recommendation entrance examination has been conducted since 2016, but the number of applicants has been sluggish and the number of applicants has continued to fall, so the aim is to increase the number of applicants by expanding the recommendation frame.
According to the University of Tokyo, the new recommendation limit is 4 for each high school, and 3 for both men and women.Only one male and one female can be recommended to each department of the Faculty of Medicine and other faculties.
The University of Tokyo has started a recommendation admission test to attract a variety of students, and evaluates outstanding achievements and abilities such as success in the International Mathematical Olympiad, study abroad experience, and dissertation presentation while in high school through document screening and interviews.
However, while the number of recruits is about 100 every year, the number of applicants is 170-190 and the number of successful applicants is 60-80.The number of successful applicants has never reached the capacity, and the application rate has never doubled.
The University of Tokyo set up a working group for reforming recommended admissions to listen to the opinions of recommended admissions and academic advisors, and also proceeded with high school questionnaires to consider countermeasures.As a result, I thought that the existence of the recommendation entrance examination may not be fully communicated to high school students, so I decided to aim to increase the number of applicants by expanding the recommendation frame.
