Client's problem
A Ukrainian applicant submitted a request to enroll in a medical university in Poland. By the time she contacted us, she had already received rejections from several educational agencies. Agency representatives informed her that enrollment in medical programs was no longer possible due to the expiration of the application deadline, the complexity of the procedure, and restrictions for Ukrainian citizens.
As a result, the client was in a state of complete uncertainty and had lost faith in the possibility of achieving her educational goal.
Description of the lawyer who took on the case
- Anzhelika Tereshchenko is a consultant on admission to educational institutions in Poland and a lawyer with over 30 years of experience in the field of law. She has been living in Poland since 2015 and has Polish citizenship.
Thanks to her combination of legal expertise and deep understanding of educational and administrative processes in Poland, she specializes in complex and non-standard admission cases, particularly for foreign applicants.
Actions taken during preparation for the case
- The applicant's educational path was analyzed to determine whether her previous education met the requirements of Polish universities.
The package of documents was checked and its adaptability to Polish requirements was assessed.
An individual selection of universities was made, which at the time of application still had real internal mechanisms for admitting students to medical specialties.
Alternative admission scenarios were evaluated, taking into account the late deadlines..
How the process went
The lawyer established direct contact with the admissions committee of the Polish university without involving intermediaries.
In the process:
- the current admission conditions were agreed upon,
the possibility of accepting the Ukrainian applicant was confirmed,
a complete set of documents was prepared and submitted as quickly as possible,- taking into account administrative requirements.
Complications in the process
The main challenges were:
late admission campaign deadlines;
previous numerous refusals, which psychologically demotivated the client;
the general belief in the market that admission to medical specialties for Ukrainians was no longer possible at this time.
Actions taken by the lawyer to successfully complete the case
Anzhelika Tereshchenko used:
- up-to-date information about internal decisions and exceptions applied by Polish universities;
her own experience of communicating with educational institutions in Poland;
a legally correct and at the same time flexible approach to the admission process.
This made it possible to find a real, rather than a formal, opportunity for admission.
Client feedback
“I no longer believed it was possible, but I was actually admitted.”
This case clearly demonstrates that even in situations that at first glance seem hopeless — late application deadlines, agency rejections, complex administrative requirements, and additional restrictions for Ukrainians — a real possibility of admission still exists.
The key role in the positive result was played by:
- a deep understanding of the internal procedures of Polish universities;
direct contact with the admissions committee without intermediaries;
a legally competent and individual approach to each specific situation;
up-to-date information that is often unavailable to mass educational agencies.
The story of this applicant confirms: rejection by agencies does not mean lack of opportunities. In complex and non-standard cases, the decisive factor is the professional support of a specialist who combines legal expertise with practical experience in the Polish education system.
The applicant was successfully admitted to a medical university in Poland and is currently studying her chosen specialty.
