Information for
High School Graduates 2025
When to apply?
You can participate in recruitment before you graduate from high school. Recruitment for the 6-year Medicine Program at the Medical University of Warsaw begins in March, and you can participate from the beginning. Still, you must get the relevant certificate from your school - predicted grades.
Predicted grades
A predicted grades certificate is a document with the grades you will receive on your school-leaving certificate/high school diploma.
The school's principal or another school representative must stamp and sign this document.
- If your school does not issue predictive grades, request a certificate stating what subjects you studied in the last grade.
- If your school issues transcripts, ask to include the subjects you pursued in the first semester and will pursue in the second semester.
- If you are in a school with an American curriculum, additionally ask for information on what grades you passed at the Advanced Placement (AP) level. Remember that there will also have to be such information next to the grade on the final transcript.

My application shows a status of Qualified, Place confirmation. What does this mean?
You were offered a place at the University. The Admission Board is waiting for you to confirm your place at the university and pay the confirmation fee. You have seven days to do this. You will receive instructions on how to confirm your place. Confirmation fee (400 EUR) is part of the tuition fee and is non-refundable.
Payment of the confirmation fee means confirmation of the place, but the candidate must complete further university admission procedures. If they do not complete these procedures by the Admission Board's deadline, their application is closed (status: Resignation), but the confirmation fee is not refunded.
I do not yet have documents certifying secondary education (final grades). What steps do I need to take?
You will receive instructions from the Admission Board and begin preparing the Admission File.
What happens if my final grades are lower than the predicted grades?
The Admission Board's decision will not change if you graduate from high school. The mandatory grades on a document certifying completion of secondary education must mean a passing grade. In other words - when you get a high school diploma, it must comply with the admission criteria.
