Understanding the Factors that Influence Acceptance in Comprehensive Selection for 2025 University Admissions

Online Seminar on Comprehensive Selection for University Admissions 2025

As the trend of comprehensive selection and school recommendation cases rises, over half of the university students are admitted through these routes. In response, Avalon Consulting has organized an online seminar aimed at high school educators, focusing on the evaluation criteria that distinguish successful candidates in the comprehensive selection process. This seminar intends to clarify the common factors found in the admissions results from 2025, a year that has seen significant changes in university entry methods.

Background on Comprehensive Selection

According to recent data released by the Ministry of Education, the percentage of students advancing to universities via comprehensive selection has been steadily increasing. This method is becoming less of a special case, with conventional entrance exams no longer being the only route for admissions.

However, many educators and guidance counselors in high schools express difficulty in understanding what criteria are evaluated during the comprehensive selection process. Consequently, sometimes the instruction relies too much on personal experience instead of structured guidance, leading to ineffective career counseling for students.

The Seminar Objective

To address these issues, Avalon Consulting's White Academy High School specializes in preparing students for comprehensive and recommendation-based admissions. They have focused on identifying key factors that influence acceptance rates through their extensive coaching experience. This seminar will reveal the latest trends in the comprehensive selection process and the decisive points impacting student outcomes.

In this seminar, participants will learn about:

- The evaluation criteria that contribute to admissions decisions.
- A prioritized checklist of aspects to consider when preparing students for the next admissions cycle.
- Strategies to significantly reduce time spent on career guidance tasks.

Challenges and Needs in the Educational Environment

The increased use of comprehensive selection methods has brought several challenges to the forefront:

- Understanding what criteria are being evaluated in comprehensive selections.
- Identifying the differences in performance between students who are accepted and those who are not.
- Figuring out how to connect exploratory activities to university evaluation.
- Enhancing the quality of exploratory guidance to meet admission standards.
- Making appropriate admissions recommendations for each student within limited time.
- Understanding the benchmarks for written evaluations and interviews.
- Developing fair guidance structures despite limited instructional resources.

These needs were articulated by various education professionals, demonstrating a significant demand for specialized training in comprehensive selection. Avalon Consulting has successfully guided 98% of its program-completing students to their desired schools through thorough evaluation and tailored support. This approach, and the resulting insights gathered, is consolidated in Ken-to Takeuchi's bestselling book, detailing effective strategies for guiding students with a dislike for studying towards top universities.
