Change in the Strategies of Entrance into University

Summary/Abstract: Change in the Strategies of Entrance into University. The study focuses on the changes in the form of entrance examinations of candidates in the Romanian state universities after 1989 and their consequences in terms of practices. Essentially the changes meant a shift in emphasis, from the special preparation of the candidates for the two or three examination disciplines, to the general high school preparation, assessed through the grades in the Bacalaureat examination and the general average grade at the end of the high-school years. We show how these changes altered the motivation of candidates and their approach of higher education studies. The new formulae of examination determine the choice of specialization by the form of examination, rather than by the contents of the studies and the substance of the future profession.
