Thread: поступать - поступить

However they are different aspects of the same verb I see them like having different meanings:
поступать = to apply to a center (university, f.e.), work, aso.
поступить = to access to the center, work, applied after a good evaluation of the application.
So: "Я поступал в институт, но я не поступил". I have seen this use in various exercises, but in dictionaries it is somewhat mixed.

What is your oppinion? Tks.

I didn't get your question, but just so you know, поступить is a perfective form of поступать and it has the same meaning.

поступать can also have another meanings:

Зачем ты так поступил? (Why did you act like that?)

Как ты поступишь с пленным? (What will you do with a prisoner?)

The same is true for поступать:

Зачем ты так поступаешь? (Why do you act like that?)

Как ты поступаешь с пленным? (What do you do with a prisoner?)
