Special surprise: Enzzo Vinicius, 18 years old, received an incentive to take the Unicamp entrance exam and pass in Computer Science. He received a poster from his girlfriend with the phrase "Go, my love! I believe in you", in front of Unip, in Campinas, where he will take the exam.
"Very beautiful, I'm very happy. It will definitely help in the race", he said.
Nilson Marques, 18 years old, is from Campinas (SP) and has lived in Piracicaba (SP) for 9 years. He officially attends Unicamp, for the first time, after taking the test as a trainer in 2025. "I'm very interested in the medical area and the biological area, how cells work, how tissues work." The young man's expectation is to be approved.
Last minute review: Bárbara Severino Carvalho, 17 years old, will take Unicamp for the third time. In previous years, she participated as a coach and, in 2026, returned to try for a place on the Literature course. Before the gates opened, she took advantage of the waiting time to take a last look at the mandatory entrance exam works. With a copy in hand, the student was reviewing short stories and other content on the reading list.
The candidate explained that Unicamp charges these works in a very specific way, which is why she wanted to take advantage of the last minutes before the test to remember some points. A resident of Barão Geraldo, in Campinas, Bárbara also arrived early to avoid the traffic. According to her, the entrance exam already brings a lot of anxiety, and avoiding stress along the way helps her to feel calmer.
Larissa dos Santos Ferreira, 20 years old, attends Unicamp for the second time. The chosen course is International Relations. She also intends to take the USP and Unicamp entrance exams for Law, which is her first option. After graduating, the objective of the candidate, who takes the entrance exam in Piracicaba (SP), is to take public exams in her chosen area.
He came to give his brother strength to be "AUapproved": João Pedro Della Volpes Progis, 17 years old, told g1 that he is "nervous" and "anxious" to take the 1st phase of the Unicamp entrance exam. He will take Economics. But the candidate's lucky charm came with him to the Unip gate, in Campinas: it's the 8-year-old dog Kiara.
"Kiara came to accompany João Pedro, for good luck. A lot of emotion, a lot of expectations. And I'm sure it will work out," said Raquel Della Volpes Progis, retired and João Pedro's mother.
Amadeu Barbosa, 17 years old, arrived at PUC-Campinas around 7am, where he will take the first phase of the Unicamp entrance exam. A resident of Paulínia, he was accompanied by his mother and decided to leave home early for fear of facing traffic on the way to the test site.
This is the first time that the student has taken the Unicamp entrance exam. He intends to enroll in the International Relations course, one of the university's new offerings.
Vitor Artur da Cruz Raimundo, 18 years old, will take the Unicamp entrance exam for the first time. He is trying to get a place on the artificial intelligence and data sciences course, which will enter the university's schedule from 2027, and says that the main expectation is to learn more about the test this year to prepare for the next entrance exam.
Vitor chose the course because he already had knowledge of the area, as he took a systems development course at Senai.
In addition to the artificial intelligence course, Unicamp launches a degree in International Relations in 2027. Both will be offered on the Limeira (SP) campus.
