Unicamp Releases List of Students Who Passed to Second Stage of 2027 Exam
Listen to the story
Unicamp, one of Brazil's leading public universities, has published the list of students who passed to the second stage of its 2027 vestibular, the entrance exam used to select new students.
The vestibular at Unicamp usually has more than one phase. Students who do well in the first phase are then called to take the second phase.
This second stage is often more difficult, as it tests subjects in more detail and may include essay questions.
The list of approved students, known as convocados, was made available on Unicamp's official website, allowing candidates to check their results.
Unicamp is located in the state of São Paulo and is considered one of the top universities in Latin America. Every year, thousands of students apply for a place.
Because competition is high, passing each phase of the exam is an important step for students hoping to study there in the future.
For families, the release of this list brings both relief and pressure, as students now need to prepare for the next stage of the process.
Although the summary does not give exact numbers of approved candidates, the announcement confirms that the selection process for the 2027 academic year is moving forward.
Students who are not on the list will not continue in this year's selection process, while those who were called must now focus on preparing for the next exam.
