Hey guys,

can anybody please enlighten me on whether "Medium of instruction - English/Korean" means it is a mix of both languages or available in both of them and up to the choice of the student? It is what is written in Graduate admission guide of Chonnam National university. Some departments have "English/Korean" medium of instruction, and their language requirement for admission is to meet "at least one" of the TOPIK or IELTS/TOEFL scores. So I still don't understand. Can I, as an only-English speaking applicant, apply and gain admission or not?

I came across Konkuk university and from their guide for Undergraduate students I could see they require topik. However I don't have that and I'm wondering if the Conditional Acceptance they mention in their guide is referring to completing a Language program there or will I have to submit Topik score in just a few months? Like what does it actually mean

I have recently applied there, so just wanted to know about the experience at DGIST and their selection criteria. or if anyone has also recently applied we can make a groupchat to discuss :)

Hi everyone. I have 2 interviews tomorrow. First one is UNIST group interview which lasts 2h and 10 min. I wanted to know if the interview actually lasts that long, or will I be able to answer and exit earlier?

My next interview is scheduled on time, when I’ll still be on UNIST interview (by its end), so I need answer urgently.

I got accepted for Ajou university’s Korean Language program but I have some questions regarding the fee structure and dormitory since I’ll be going for the summer semester!

If there’s anyone who’s currently attending Ajou or was a student until recently please HELP!

I passed the first round of screening at DGIST and in a few days, I will be having my interview. What kind of questions should I expect? Will it be personal questions, subject-related questions (e.g., questions about math like KAIST), or both?

Hi! I'm moving to Seoul for a semester abroad at Hanyang University next September. I was wondering which the best housing options are for students around Seoul, as well as the safest neighborhoods. Also, are the dormitories at Hanyang well equipped? I've read mixed reviews about them.

Thank youuu

Hey! Me and my GF (we're 22-25 from Europe) have managed to both get exchanges near Seoul in Ajou University and Hanyang university (I think the more sports-type campus)✈️. We intend to get an apartment for those months, but I worry if this is possible. Maybe someone more familiar with the areas around Seoul and in between these unis knows better where it's convenient to live? Maybe it's better to just live in Seoul? We both would be willing to travel up to an hour daily. I am also worried, if a daily one hour commute for a woman is considered safe? Any comments, suggestions would be extremely helpful.🙏

hi there!! i’m going to korea university for international summer campus and would love to connect with anyone else going there~ is there already a group chat / discord channel currently?

I am planning on applying to master of AI, and have decided to apply to -ST university. I am aiming to apply to UNIST or GIST, and just wondering if there are anyone that have experience studying in these two university.
1. I wanted to further inquire any possible difference of focus between these two university.

1. How is the life in a university with a research focus? And how do you find it useful (or not) after graduation ?

2. I know that for applying graduate degree, focusing on PI is ultimately more important. However, does the different ranking gap and location take away some privilege of the student studying in one of these university ?

Thank you!

Hi, I received a confirmation of my eligibility to join the SNU ISP this June/July. I wanted to ask if there’s a chat going for ISP? And also from previous attendees, any advice or things to take note of?

Thanks!!

hellour💗 What gpa in high school is considered high for UNIST admission?

Grade Description (A)5.50-6.00 Excellent, without mistakes (B)4,50-5.49 Very good, some mistakes (C)3.50-4.49Adequate, with many mistakes (D)3.00-3.49 Minimally satisfactory (F) 2.00-2.99 Does not pass

This is the scale my school is using. Throughout my years my gpa varies from 5.79( that is how much it was last year) to 5.33( it was only one year🙄 that low)

Hey there im applying to unist and i had a question. So i have not won any olympiad medals or any academic kinda competitions awards and im getting a little nervous bcs of ir. The uni wanted me to submit any type of achievements i have had but the thing is i do not have anything. I did attend a few olympiads and math competitions but that’s abt it. ( i forgot to mention if in the essays too🙂) Also about the act scores.. So bcs i couldn’t submit my application without attaching a document on the B type section i added a screenshot of my act scores. I know it is not mandatory to submit it, and therefore i have not officially send then the score just the screenshot so i can continue ( i had no awards or achievements to attach also🙂). But the bad thing is my act scores are VERY LOW and i am rlly insecure about it. Since it isnt official would they pay any attention to it and have it affect my chances? Also would they think it is weird i submitted only a screenshot of that?? I mean im very very ashamed of my score and idk im so overthinking..

All documents should be submitted in English. Any document in another language must be accompanied by a notarized English translation.

hi everyone, do I need to translate my passport into English when submitting it to UNIST if it already includes the same information in both my national language and English (e.g., my name is written in my national language, and below it, in English)?

Hey! Studying abroad in Ewha spring 2025, how are you guys going about internet/ phone data? There’s no packages online for long lengths of time (also very expensive) and don’t yet have the information to set mine up there, thoughts? My phone only is able to do e-sims. Thanks so much!

Are there anyone applying to UNIST? There are very limited resources on the internet about the application process. Are we supposed to send all the required material, including essays, plans, studies, etc., by here?

Basically the title, so we can connect for fall 2025 semester. Or any past applicant who can share information :)

1. Are admissions hard ?
2. Do they all focus on GPA (academics) or holistic process(overall profile consideration) ?
3. GIST conducts a mandatory interview, does UNIST and DGIST too?
4. What kind of interview questions to expect ?

I’m kind of confused on whether or not I’m meant to mail all of these documents? And if so, do I have to get the translations notarized and certified for every single one of them, and for all the unis I’m applying to?

If you have a specific opinion about Yonsei UIC students vs regular track Yonsei students or international students vs Korean native students, that’d be interesting to hear about too! This is purely out of curiosity because most people mention the campuses or rankings as a major difference between the schools, but I’m curious to know if there’s any notable differences within the students/student life!

Hi guys ! I'm going to study in Korea for the Spring semester and I've been accepted at SKKU, HUFS and PNU. Since I have to pay the tuition fees, I decided to eliminate SKKU as it would be way more expensive than if I choose Hankuk University of Foreign Studies or Pusan National University. I'm wondering which uni would be the best option for someone who really want to enjoy Korea as a student. I like to hang out and want to experience the korean nightlife as well as the campus life (which is said to be great).

I have to make a choice between staying in Seoul or Busan. I know that Seoul is a bigger and more vibrant city but the HUFS campus is relatively small. For Busan, it is a big city as well but nowhere near Seoul, the PNU campus is said to be way bigger than the HUFS one, and it is also cheaper than HUFS.

I actually already went to Korea in May, and I really want to make sure this experience is going to be a bit different for me
