1. Looking for advice from students who studied or received scholarships in South Korea
Hi everyone,
I'm planning to apply to study in South Korea, and to be honest, I'm feeling very anxious about the competition.
I've been working hard to strengthen my application. I'm currently preparing for both IELTS and TOPIK. I also have several certificates in Business Administration and research-related fields. In addition, I've written an economic research paper comparing South Korea and Algeria, and I have some beginner programming experience through small personal projects.
My Korean level is close to TOPIK Level 3, and I have a very clear goal: I want to study Business Administration in South Korea and build my career there.
I also have volunteer certificates, including one related to UNESCO, but I'm still worried about writing my Personal Statement and Study Plan. I keep wondering if they're good enough or if I'm missing something important.
If you've applied for GKS or any Korean university, I would really appreciate hearing about your experience.
- What do you wish you had known before applying?
- What mistakes should I avoid?
- What made your application stand out?
- Any advice for writing a strong Personal Statement and Study Plan?
Please feel free to share your personal journey, whether you were accepted or rejected. I believe every experience can teach me something valuable.
Thank you so much in advance. I truly appreciate any advice or encouragement you can share! 🤍
