Thousands of students in the Province of Granada are preparing for the Selectividad exams in June, a process that will determine their access to the University of Granada, where admission scores can fluctuate considerably until October.

The University of Granada is getting ready to welcome approximately 5,000 students who, in early June, will face the University Access Tests (PAU), commonly known as Selectividad. After the results are published on June 11, the application period will open for over 11,000 first-year places offered by the institution, including new degrees such as Data Science and Artificial Intelligence and Biomedical Engineering, in addition to the double degree in Archaeology and History.
On July 3, the first cut-off scores will be announced, marking the beginning of an allocation period that will extend until October. During this time, the minimum scores required for admission to certain degrees can undergo significant changes. While in high-demand programs, such as the double degree in Physics and Mathematics or Medicine, cut-off scores barely move, other specialties show notable decreases.
Examples of these fluctuations were seen last year in degrees like Economics, which started with an 8.463 and ended at a 5. Similarly, Primary Education and French Studies went from an 8.002 to a 5, and French and Hispanic Studies from a 7.076 to a 5. The most striking case was the double degree in English and Hispanic Studies, which dropped from a 12.289 to a 6.670. Even in areas like Civil Engineering and Business Administration and Management (ADE), the cut-off score was reduced from a 10.956 to a 7.562.

The cut-off score is the qualification obtained by the last person admitted to that particular degree. The more applications for a degree, the higher the cut-off score tends to be, which also depends on the number of places offered.

These variations occur because, after each allocation list, students can reorder their preferences or withdraw some applications. Additionally, vacant places from reserve quotas (for graduates, people with disabilities, those over 25, 40, and 45 years old, or high-level athletes) are reallocated to the general quota, contributing to the decrease in scores. The second allocation is scheduled for July 16, with up to five additional results between July 24 and October 8.
It is important to remember that cut-off scores are not set by universities but reflect the qualification of the last student enrolled in each degree, university, and access route. Historical data is available on the Andalusian Single District website for guidance.
