FACT: The difference is between quota 1 and quota 2

Last Saturday was the final opportunity for those who wished to apply for enrollment in a post-secondary education through Quota 1.

It is possible to apply for enrollment through both Quota 1 and Quota 2.

Compare the two application possibilities here:

Quota 1:

* The application deadline for Quota 1 was July 5th at 12:00 PM.

* On a Quota 1 application, you will be exclusively evaluated based on the results of your high school diploma. This means that students with high grade point averages will be admitted to the post-secondary education before students with lower averages.

* There may also be specific grade requirements for certain subjects for the education you are applying for. In such cases, the subjects must be passed at the required level.

Quota 2:

* The application deadline for Quota 2 was March 15th at 12:00 PM.

* Enrollment through Quota 2 is for applicants who cannot be enrolled through Quota 1, or who need to be evaluated based on qualifications other than the high school diploma grade point average.

* Quota 2 criteria consist of various academic and general activities, which, along with the qualifying exam, provide the opportunity to apply for enrollment.

* The educational institutions themselves determine the Quota 2 criteria that applicants are evaluated on, and they determine the number of Quota 2 spots on each individual education program. Therefore, there can be a large difference in Quota 2 from one educational institution to another.

* Examples of Quota 2 criteria can include:

- A second education (or parts of an education) beyond a high school diploma.

- Adult education of typically at least 16 weeks duration.

- Overseas study of at least three to six months, such as schooling with instruction at the high school or post-secondary level or study abroad with language instruction.

- Activities such as club work, political work, work with children and youth, work with the disabled or work as a camp counselor.

- Study-relevant work.

- A well-reasoned application.

- Some educational institutions call Quota 2 applicants for admission tests and/or interviews. The tests can range from multiple choice tests to larger homework assignments.

- Some educational institutions enroll students exclusively through Quota 2.
