International students at Korea’s top universities (SNU/Korea/Yonsei), how did you get accepted and what advice would you give to applicants?
Hi everyone!
I’m an international student preparing to apply to universities in Korea, especially the top universities like Seoul National University, Korea University, and Yonsei University.
I would really appreciate hearing from international students who are currently studying at these universities.
Could you please share:
What university and major are you studying?
What was your academic background (GPA, language scores like TOPIK/IELTS/TOEFL, extracurricular activities, awards, etc.)?
What do you think was the most important factor that helped you get accepted?
What mistakes should applicants avoid?
What advice would you give to someone who wants to apply to a top Korean university as an international student?
I know every applicant is different, but hearing real experiences from accepted students would be extremely helpful.
Thank you so much!
