Chapter I refers only to the 1 st round of the National Competition for University Admissions. First, we present the data on the public higher education university institutions, aiming at rating the University of Porto in the national context. Our analysis – with the numbers shown first in a table and then in a chart – focuses on: - the rate of places filled; - the weighted average classification of the last qualifying applicant; - a comparative analysis with the National Competition for University Admissions – 1 st round 2007. Then, we describe the situation of the 53 licenciaturas, licenciatura/1 st cycle and integrated masters courses of the University of Porto, grouped by faculty, and which focuses on: i. Successful applicants/Admissions: - the rate of places filled (compared to the 2007 competition); - the weighted average classification of the last qualifying applicant placed (compared to the 2007 competition); - the round of admission; - the school district where exams took place; - the school where the exams took place; - gender; - valid preferences of placement; ii. - Applicants: - the school district where exams took place; - the school where the exams took place; - gender; - the choice of application; - the proportion of applicants, regardless of choice (provided it is valid) for application, and the places available; - the proportion of applicants who chose the course as 1 st choice (a valid choice) and the places available; iii. – Demand in 1 st choice: - applicants and successful applicants in 1 st choice, per school district where exams took place; - applicants and successful applicants in 1 st choice, per school where exams took place; - applicants and successful applicants in 1 st choice, per gender; - percentage of successful applicants in 1 st choice; - proportion of applicants who chose the course as 1 st choice but who were unsuccessful, and the places available. Chapter II presents a summary of the data on the two rounds of the National Competition for University Admissions 2008, and focuses on: - the rate of places filled (compared to the 2007 competition); - the classification of the last qualifying applicant placed (1 st and 2 nd rounds); - the proportion of successful applicants in the 1 st round but who did not complete the enrolment or were successful in the 2 nd round; - the preferences of placement in the 2 nd round. 6 Chap.
