One of the latest videos, posted this Thursday, is a message of encouragement from the singer of The Tyets, the trendy catalan trap group (and in catalan!). “What’s happening ‘selectiviterus’? Come on guys, good luck for these days, don’t worry, you’ve been preparing for this all year, and don’t forget… vacations!”, he tells them while his famous ‘Bailoteo’, the soundtrack of the patios of the institutes of half the country.This is the level (read with absolute admiration, not even an iota of irony).
Instagram profile @laselectivitat was created in 2018 by Julia Masanesa student of Lleida that she felt little supported during her relatively recent passage through selectivity and decided to create “a community” to help her own. Five years later, she has more than 31,000 followers on Instagram (Spectacular figure, taking into account its niche: this year 41,677 people will be examined).
When the selectivity is over, WhatsApp groups of each grade are opened by universities so that students can get to know each other
“The vast majority of followers, 80% are the 2005 generation, that will take part in the tests this year”, he describes, identifying the ‘target’ perfectly, Àlex Ortí, INEFC student and ‘partner’ of Masanés. He went through the agonizing swallow of the PAUs in the pandemic 2020 (two years after Julia), with all that that means, and he felt so supported by this community that, after a sabbatical year in which he precisely trained in social networks, he decided to join it. Since then, he has worked hand in hand with Júlia. She in Lleida, he in Barcelona.
The great virtue of the celebrated @laselectivitat -on the mobile phones of a very high percentage of college students second year of high school catalans- is that it combines a ‘drive’ with very orderly notes that are worth gold with groups of Telegram by subjects, so that students can share doubts and send each other warmth with videos like the one from The Tyets or ‘memes’ in which, basically, they make fun self parody.

For Julia and Alex All the information and academic guidance that they offer them -which is a lot- is just as important as making them laugh. “They have been at the institute for a whole year, receiving the pressure of selectivity, selectivity, selectivity, every day, and that supposes a lot of stress and a lot of nerves for the student; we seek, in addition to helping them study, accompanying them, acting as a bridge so that they accompany each other, and, also very important, making them laugh”, sums up the young woman, who insists that the selectivity is approved by everyone (37,563 of the 39,767 that were presented last year) to relieve tension from the almost 42,000 that will begin next Wednesday.
