Parcoursup: all the answers to your questions about the admission phase

2023-05-31 02:19:43

A number of you wanted clarification on when the phase will kick off and how it will unfold. Jérôme Teillard clarified the times and procedures for the admission phase:

It will be at 7 p.m., after class and you will find on the Parcoursup website the answers to the wishes made in April. Important information, at the start, you will be very numerous and will have access to the consultation mode only. A little later in the evening, you will be able to interact with your file. But no rush! For all admission proposals sent on June 1 and 2, you will have to provide an answer before Sunday evening 11:59 p.m. You will have your answers, this is your information, so Thursday evening, you will still need a little patience.

If I have several “yes”, therefore several proposals for admission to establishments, how long do I have to choose?

There are two important principles to remember. When you have several admission proposals, all on the same date, you will have to make a choice. You can only sit on one chair: if you have three proposals, you must choose only one.

If you have several proposals on different dates, you will have to respond within the time limits depending on the choices.

If the proposal received is not my favorite proposal, can I keep it pending?

Yes ! The main phase allows you to keep your wishes pending, but when you receive an admission proposal and you make a choice, Parcoursup will ask you if you are sure of your choice.

Nathalie: If we receive several proposals at the same time, we can only accept one, but can we put “yes” on hold, and how many?

Garance: Can we answer yes to two formations when we can’t decide?

You can keep the wishes pending, but a little advice, take another look at the wishes made in March and then confirmed in April, maybe things have changed.

The main thing is not to rush, it’s your decision and it’s up to you to make your choices. But there can be no non-answer, you have to decide. We don’t spend the winter with our Parcoursup choices!

I was a high school student and we make choices every day, you have to decide even if it’s difficult. Hence the importance of talking about it with your parents, your friends or your teachers and asking yourself now. You may have times when you seek advice from your main teacher or referring teacher.

Hammyra: In case of answer “yes if”…. What are the steps to take and in how much time?

When you have an answer “yes, yes”, it is a positive answer, the training wishes to welcome you but it tells you that you need support, either disciplinary or methodological. The teachers have perceived weaknesses that could be obstacles to your success. You have to click on “info” on the “yes, if” and then it’s up to you to decide whether or not to accept.

This concerns 27,000 students in 2022.

Nanousse: Is it possible to not be accepted anywhere and so how do we do it then?

Sometimes these are candidates who have made a small number of wishes and selective training, but at university there is no negative answer. On June 1st, you will be able to ask the training courses why you were not selected because you have a right to information guaranteed by Parcoursup.

We must find an answer for you, ask your school for support, and we will be there to support you too. Then the complementary phase allows you to make new wishes in formations that have vacancies. Finally, on Parcoursup, we offer training under student status, but also apprenticeship, there you can express your wishes until September.

Ihssen: Will I have a chance of being taken in BTS since I am in reorientation? This year I did internships in the same field as this diploma.

I cannot give an answer, but what is important is to have explained the meaning of his orientation project and to see if it is a very requested training or a little less. You can find these items at each training sheet with the access rateto get to appreciate if the training is in high demand or less.

Question from several readers: what should be done for pending wishes?

You have access to indicators next to each pending wish and in particular how you are ranked in the waiting list. The rankings change every day, but there is no need to look compulsively every morning, it only changes once a day in the morning. We can be 1500th in the formation, we just have to watch how it evolves and we indicate the position of the last candidate taken last year.

For example, if Samira on June 1 is 353rd and on June 2 is 300th, she looks at the indicator that shows the rank of the last candidate from last year. If he was 500th, it’s positive! Chances are she’ll get a proposal. If the last one was 152nd that’s another form of indication, but in the early days there’s no need to rush.

Anissa: Can we participate in the complementary phase if we have received positive responses?

Yes, even if primarily the phase is made for those who have not had the opportunity, it is also made for those who have accepted wishes in the main phase. For what ? Because the main element of success is motivation!

Question from several readers: what time do we receive a new proposal?

It’s always in the morning, before classes start! (Editor’s note: around 7:00 a.m. each morning – local time) It is not necessary to get up on purpose, but you can watch quietly. You receive SMS and messaging alerts, and your parents too if they have entered their contact details in your file.

Let’s imagine that you receive a proposal on Tuesday, June 6, you will have to answer before June 7, 11:59 p.m., you will have had time to have an exchange with your teachers and your parents.

Teddy: do you have to write a cover letter for the complementary phase?

Yes, during the complementary phase, these are new proposals for wishes, so the teachers need to be convinced by your file. Also the marks of the 2nd and 3rd trimester will be raised to them. Go to class, because it can support your case!

Evan: If at the end of the admission phase we have no proposal, nor anything in additional procedure, what happens?

From July 1st, you will receive a message or a phone call to offer you support. You can also request the CAES.

Do reorientation students come after high school students?

No, high school students and students in reorientation are treated in the same way by the welcome training. There are not first high school students and then students, all the answers come at the same time.

Hello I made a mistake in wishes I forgot to put 1 BTS COMPUTER, what can I do?

You have to wait for the complementary phase during which you can make new wishes. This phase gradually adds training courses and you will be able to consult them using the search engine.

Is it normal for certain courses to announce to students that they are admitted before the date of June 1st? (clarification that I give: training outside Parcoursup has the right to give their answers before Parcoursup)

The formations did not announce admitted students, but to candidates that they were not eligible. Admissions results will be known on June 1, not before.

Antoine: If you are a student outside France and admitted to IFSI, what is the procedure?

The same as the others: once admitted, you will have to accept the wish and then register.

Stefy: Are we limited in the number of pending wishes?

No ! what should count is what you intend to do and if it is interesting for you, so do not keep wishes for the principle of keeping them. If you have arranged wishes that you prefer, keep them pending, then you will be asked to rank them in order of preference.

Noémie: You just have to tick to accept? How do we maintain wishes on the waiting list?

Each time you have to choose, you will have to click on a small “I accept” bar, it is by default on renounce but you can choose or maintain. You are given where you are in the process at each step.

Many of you follow us by phone for this live, but the Parcoursup platform, even if you have access to it on a mobile phone, is more comfortable on a computer when making choices.

Sandra: is a bug possible on Thursday evening at 7 p.m.?

We are working so that there are no bugs! Already at first, it’s not a bug, but you have to take the time to find your Parcoursup code, your identifiers and your password. If we can’t find it, we ask the question on the platform.

Then if Sandra like others will be able to see their answers only in consultation mode, it is to be able to hold the very strong load that evening.

Karim: will all the formations respond at the same time??

Yes: all training responds at the same time every day, there is one and the same calendar and all updates every day are done at the same time.

Gaby: can we make alternate wishes in the complementary phase?

No, because during this phase, these are training courses under student status, but all apprenticeship training can be found on the search engine.

Regarding learning, if you have any proposals, you have been selected subject to a contract and you will have to enter a contract on the platform. Many of you have probably made student and apprenticeship wishes. If you are interested in a BTS MCO and you took student and apprenticeship in the same high school, you can accept while studying and look for a company for the same apprenticeship wish.
