BTN News: In an emotional moment that touched many on social media, a young student shared the exact moment he discovered he was accepted into the Faculty of Medicine at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). The touching scene, captured by his father, quickly went viral.
UNAM, ranked among the top 100 universities globally, sees thousands of students competing each year for entry into one of its 133 programs across various study modes: traditional, open, and distance learning. As in previous years, the release of admission results brought a mix of anxiety and celebration for many families.
Such was the case for the family of the user @North1968, whose real name remains unknown. In a video, they shared the joy and excitement they felt when they realized their son had been accepted into his desired program.
Father Records Son’s Joyful Acceptance to UNAM
The video shows the family eagerly waiting for the website to load the results. Moments later, the father exclaimed with joy upon seeing that his son had been accepted to study at UNAM. “I congratulate you with all my heart, my son,” said the young man’s mother amid the family celebration. “Let’s tell everyone.”
The recording also captures another young man, presumably the UNAM student’s brother, celebrating the achievement, with even the family’s dog joining in with enthusiastic barks.
Family’s Joy Moves Social Media
The video resonated with viewers not only because the student was about to fulfill his dream of studying Medicine but also due to the heartwarming support and celebration from his family. Comments flooded in, reflecting on the touching nature of the moment. “The blessing isn’t just getting into UNAM, it’s having a father like that,” one user wrote. Another shared, “It reminded me of when I got into UNAM, my mom was so happy, we cried together. She’s no longer with me, but it was one of our best moments.”
The family’s clip amassed 3.4 million likes, making it the most successful post from @North1968, who appears to be a budding content creator sharing glimpses of his life and humor on the Chinese platform.
High Demand for Limited Spots
Interestingly, 71% of admission requests are concentrated in just 15 of the most competitive programs, with the Medicine program, where the young man was accepted, being the most sought after. Following closely are programs in Law, Psychology, Administration, and Accounting.
New Beginnings for Admitted Students
Students admitted for the 2024-2025 academic year will begin their classes on Monday, August 5th, marking the start of their journey at one of the world’s leading universities.
