The medical system of national and public universities is very popular, and the medical school maintains a XNUMXx application rate.
Looking at trends by faculty system of national and public universities, the year-on-year increase in the number of applicants was 109% for pharmaceuticals and 3.5 times for applicants.In the medical department, the number of applicants is 100% compared to the previous year, and the application rate is 4.1 times the same as last year.In addition, the number of applicants for nursing is 101% compared to the previous year, and the application rate is 2.6 times → 2.7 times higher than last year.Medical systems have been very popular over the last few years, but only medical and pharmacy have become less popular.It seems that the fact that it turned around and became more popular is also due to the average score of the Common Test for University Admissions (hereinafter referred to as the Common Test).
The average score of each subject of the common test was higher than originally expected, and as a result, the average score of the XNUMX science subjects also increased.From the point of view of the examinee, the score is higher than planned, so I feel like taking the plunge and taking on the challenge.In addition, in the past, major disasters and international conflicts have tended to increase the number of examinees aiming for medical departments.It is believed that this is because as a professional professional such as a doctor, the number of students who want to contribute directly in the field facing difficulties will increase.
The world is facing great difficulties that can be called a disaster, and it seems that more and more examinees are motivated to save patients as doctors and develop therapeutic drugs under these circumstances. It is inferred.
However, with the exception of some of these popular strains, it can be said that the impact of population decline is unavoidable as a whole.Looking at the materials <Fig. XNUMX and Fig. XNUMX> of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, it can be seen that the number of applicants for public universities is increasing due to the effects of new universities and the expansion of faculties, but the number of applicants for national universities is declining. increase.It can also be seen that the application rate is also declining accordingly.In addition, the application rate of national universities in the figure includes the latter period schedule, which has a high application rate even if the actual ratio is low, so it does not seem to have declined so much, but the first half schedule, which is the main of general selection. Is on a downward trend.

It is expected that new universities and faculties will continue to be added to public universities, including professional universities.Therefore, it is thought that the application rate as a whole will be maintained to some extent, but it can be said that the application rate of national universities, and even the actual rate, tends to decrease.
