Center use entrance exams and 2nd term entrance exams are sluggish, and some universities have nearly halved the number of applicants from the previous year

 If you look at the results of private university entrance exams by entrance exam method, you can see the trend of this year.As mentioned above, the total number of applicants is negative compared to the previous year, but the general method has increased slightly.On the contrary, the number of entrance exams for using the center (center method) has decreased significantly.The total number of applicants for all entrance examination methods has decreased by 10, but the number of applicants for the center method has decreased by about 13.Looking at the results of entrance examinations by university, the number of applicants for the center method is nearly half that of the previous year at some universities.In the Tokyo metropolitan area, the number of center-type applicants such as Otsuma Women's University, Kyoritsu Women's University, Komazawa University, Practical Women's University, Tsuda College, Tokyo Women's University, Toyo University, Japan Women's University, Meiji Gakuin University, Rissho University, and Ferris Women's University is conspicuously decreasing. increase.In the Kinki area, Setsunan University and Hannan University have decreased by nearly XNUMX%, but there are almost no universities that have a phenomenon that is nearly half as seen in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

 In addition, the number of applicants for the 2nd term entrance examination has increased in recent years as an opportunity to re-challenge due to the decrease in the number of successful applicants for the 1st term entrance examination, but this week the number of applicants has decreased.However, the number of successful applicants has increased by 1%, so the ratio has decreased.In recent years, each private university has announced a small number of successful applicants in the 2st term entrance examination in order to strictly manage the number of students, and depending on the procedure, the shortfall has been supplemented by the 2nd term entrance examination. The second term entrance examination has played a role in adjusting the total number of successful applicants.However, that is also possible because there are enough applicants for the second term entrance examination.The decrease in the number of applicants for the 2nd term entrance examination that was seen this time may be a sign that the number of examinees remaining until the 2nd term entrance examination will be limited in the future.

The number of applicants for AO entrance exams and recommended entrance exams is increasing, and next year there will be a 0 (zero) period entrance exam.

 As we saw in the previous section, the number of applicants has decreased significantly in the private university center system and the second term entrance examination.It may be unavoidable because the number of university applicants is decreasing due to the declining population, but it is also possible that the examinees are taking entrance exams other than the center method and the second term entrance exam.The website of Obunsha Education Information Center (http://eic.obunsha.co.jp/) contains "2 Recommendation / AO Entrance Examination Results Bulletin". The number of applicants for the recommendation admission that is not imposed has increased from the previous year.In addition, the number of applicants for the private university open recruitment recommendation entrance examination is about the same as the previous year, but the number of successful applicants has increased by more than 2%.The results of the entrance examinations recommended by private universities are not posted, but the number of applicants and successful applicants is probably increasing.In other words, at this point, the number of university applicants who are taking the general selection has already decreased by a certain number.Furthermore, looking at the results of the AO entrance exams, the number of applicants for both the AO entrance exams that do not impose a center exam at national and public universities and the AO entrance exams at private universities has increased by more than 2020% (the number of successful applicants at national and public universities is also high). It has increased by more than XNUMX%).

 Based on these trends, the examinees apply for the center method, etc. in the general selection as seen so far, and rather than the method of taking the examination firmly, the comprehensive type selection (AO entrance examination) and the school recommended type selection (recommended entrance examination). ) Can be seen as an opportunity to take the exam.Originally, in the Kinki area, there are many examinees who regard the open recruitment system recommendation of private universities as the 0 (zero) period entrance examination.It may be seen nationwide in the future.
