THINGS TO
REMEMBER:
Destinations’ assignement
follows the submitted prefrences
and the available spots.
 If you are accepted from one
University, you are exluded from
other Universities’ rankings.
 If two students with the same
score compete for the same
destination, the selection criterion
will be the application’s order of
preferences. If the preferences are
equal, one other spot will be asked
to the destination University. If the
request is denied, the situation will
be solved through an extraction.
EXAMPLE
CLEAM/CLEF/
CLES/BIEM/BIEF student
that completed the
right number of exams.
SCORE =
Weighted average + 0,1 x
(88 – (0,6 x 57)) =
Weighted average + 5,38 For further details related to the selection CLICK HERE.

12. LAST YEAR SCORES
HERE you can view, for every destination, the scores of the students that were selected for
the exchange program last year (actual third year students), 2 years ago, 3 years ago and 4
years ago.
No guarantees that the admission scores will be equal or similar to the previous year’s
ones. It could be useful, however, to look at past admission scores to select your
destinations.
EXAMPLE
•I’m enrolled in the second year of CLEAM and I would like to go in exchange to the
Shanghai University of Finance and Economics (China) next year.
•I completed the right number of exams.
•I look at last year’s scores and I discover the the lowest score to be accepted to that
University was 31,116
•I compute the average I should have had last year: 31,116 – 5,38 = 25,736
•If I was to apply last year, having completed the right number of exams, a weighted
average of 25,74 would have been sufficent to be admitted.
•Nothing guaranteed me that this will be valid this year too, but these data can help me in
the preferences choice.
