USE points calculators

These are services with a database of:

• Bachelor’s programs of the majority of Russian universities;
• list of Unified State Exams needed for each program;
• entrance points.

Some platforms also have the data on the current number of applicants to a given program.

To use such services, students can just put in their USE exam scores and any points for personal achievements they may have. The service will process this info and put out a list of programs at different universities in which this amount of points is enough to secure a tuition-free or fee-based position. Apart from general calculators, there are also those offered by specific universities that allow applicants to evaluate their chances specifically at their university.

Reasons to use a calculator

• To select the programs where students have the most chances of enrollment – maybe even find programs that students weren’t aware of.
• To evaluate the chances to enroll into a tuition-free position.
• To decide where to send your enrollment confirmation to. 

    Learn more about Bachelor’s admissions to ITMO, both tuition-free and fee-based, on the university’s admissions website. 

Importantly, a calculator doesn’t offer any guarantees: as it’s based on last year’s entrance points and this year, things can be drastically different. In any case, applicants will have to consider many factors during the application process, and such services are just a handy tool that might help you get a better idea of your options.
