Takeaways

• 😀 SNMPTN (National Selection for State Universities) is a university entrance exam based on academic scores and achievements, not requiring written tests like SBMPTN (Joint Selection for State Universities).
• 😀 To succeed in SNMPTN, be cautious about overconfidence, even if you're from a top-ranking school. Your competition is nationwide.
• 😀 The selection process for SNMPTN takes into account academic performance and portfolios, including extracurricular achievements.
• 😀 Schools with higher accreditation (A, B, C) determine how many of their students can be selected for SNMPTN, with A schools selecting 40%, B schools 25%, and C schools only 5%.
• 😀 Don’t be overly optimistic—SNMPTN is competitive, and many factors contribute to whether you’re selected, even if you have impressive academic records and achievements.
• 😀 When choosing a major for SNMPTN, consider your future career goals, not just the perceived prestige of the university. It’s essential to balance both opportunities and personal interests.
• 😀 If you're considering entering a popular university, it’s better to strategically select a major where your chances of being accepted are higher rather than aiming for highly competitive options.
• 😀 You should avoid applying to universities and majors based purely on external pressures or expectations. Focus on your strengths and genuine interests.
• 😀 Pay attention to the rules for selecting your majors in SNMPTN. You are allowed two choices, with the first being your preferred major and the second as a backup in case you don’t get the first.
• 😀 Always consider the competitiveness of your chosen university and department. Research the likelihood of acceptance and be mindful of your academic strengths to ensure a better fit.

Q & A

What is SNMPTN?

SNMPTN (Seleksi Nasional Masuk Perguruan Tinggi Negeri) is the National Selection for Entrance to State Universities in Indonesia, where students are selected based on their academic achievements and school grades rather than a written exam.

How does SNMPTN differ from SBMPTN?

SNMPTN is based on academic achievements, including school grades and other accomplishments, while SBMPTN (Seleksi Bersama Masuk Perguruan Tinggi Negeri) requires students to take a written test called UTBK (Ujian Tulis Berbasis Komputer).

What factors influence the chances of being accepted into SNMPTN?

The chances depend on factors such as the student's school accreditation (A, B, or C), their academic performance (grades), and any additional achievements documented in a portfolio.

What is the role of school accreditation in SNMPTN selection?

School accreditation affects the number of students that can be selected from each school. For example, schools with an 'A' accreditation can select up to 40% of their top students, while 'B' and 'C' accredited schools have lower percentages (25% and 5%, respectively).

What should students keep in mind when applying for SNMPTN?

Students should avoid overconfidence, as competition is nationwide, and they must understand that being a top student in their own school does not guarantee success in SNMPTN.

What happened to the speaker during the 2017 SNMPTN?

The speaker, despite being one of the top students in their school and having multiple achievements, was not accepted into SNMPTN in 2017. This was a reminder not to be overconfident and to manage expectations properly.

What is the speaker's advice on choosing a major for SNMPTN?

The speaker emphasizes the importance of choosing a major that genuinely interests the student, rather than just focusing on getting into a prestigious university. It’s essential to choose a major that fits one's passions and future goals.

What should students do to avoid stress after entering university?

To avoid stress, students should aim to choose a major they are passionate about. Entering a program that doesn’t interest them may lead to unhappiness and eventually quitting or underperforming.

How should students prioritize their choices for SNMPTN?

Students should prioritize their first choice, which should be the major they truly want. The second choice should be a backup in case they don’t get into their first choice, but they should be mindful that competition for the second choice is often more intense.

What is the potential risk of choosing the wrong second choice in SNMPTN?

Choosing an overly competitive second choice, such as a prestigious university that also appears in the first choice, could severely reduce the chances of acceptance, as the competition for both could be overwhelming.
