How does the USP quota system work?
USP offers quotas for black, brown, indigenous people and those who studied in public schools. Of the total vacancies offered, 50% are for broad competition and the other 50% are reserved for students who completed high school in public schools.
Among the vacancies reserved for public school quota students, 37.5% are for self-declared black, brown and indigenous candidates.
Classification takes place as follows:
First, vacancies destined for broad competition (AC) will be filled. Candidates from all categories will be allocated to them;
Then, vacancies are filled for those who applied for public school (EP) and did not pass AC.
Next, those who declared themselves as black, black or brown, or indigenous and who signed up for quotas in this modality, called PPI, are classified.
