- Hello family, friends, enemies, and the like! Thanks for clicking on my video! My name is Cathy and I am an international undergraduate freshman at Korea University, and I'll be documenting my journey over the next four years while I'm here.
As many people have inquired, I am going to explain the entire admissions process for Korea University. I also applied to Yonsei and Ewha, and their admissions processes are quite similar, so this can give you an idea of how applying to universities in Korea works too!
This video was filmed in the beginning of September, and now that it is December, I have completed my first year at KU! Woop woop!
That's all for now! Thanks for being a part of my journey!
Love Always,
CΛTHY ❤
***The most asked question:
What does it cost to study at KU?

This was SO helpful! Thank you so much!! I am right now writing on my KU application
super helpful video 🙂 I loved hearing you talk about this.
i’m not even applying to KU i’m actually applying to an American college in Seoul and have already gone through an admissions process through a language school in Japan before but this has to be the most IN DEPTH video i have ever seen to help prepare applicants- like i have experience in an abroad application process but THIS is so helpful and taught me things I didn’t already know! thanks girl 😭😭
Thank you for being you while sharing all this info and not this fakely-bloggish. Really enjoyed watching and listening to you! ☀️ Good luck with studies!

this honestly has been the most in depth and helpful video I've seen so far, love that you don't sugercoat the process. I'd much rather know what I'm getting myself into! thanks for this invaluable info, I'm about a year away from finishing highschool so better start learning korean :)
ruclips.net/video/eQOTNi78EQ0/видео.html
I have no plans of applying to Korea. And I'm doing my post graduation right now. I don't know why I'm watching but this is very informative, thanks 😊
hahahha of course!
😜
hey! i remember watching this video and repeating the video a lot when i applied to ku for business administration as well. now i'll be going there this march!! just would like to say this video was really helpful thank you so much!
woo congrats!! hope to see u here soon!
@@cathyinkorea thank you!! do you have tips for incoming freshmen? can I also ask if you know the minimum and maximum required credits I'd have to take each semester for BA as well as the list of courses you took for the first semester and the corresponding credits as well 😭 really sorry for the abundance questions i also just wanted to ask whether you recommend taking all the academic foundations in the first semester at BA or taking them all gradually?
i also saw in the graduation requirements of the KUBS website that they don't have any general electives graduation requirement but have a "general Electives upon student's selection" rule. do you happen to know if I plan on taking a general elective but it's not part of the graduation requirements and I'm free to take any of them, can I still take it to fill the minimum credits per semester but at the same time accept that it won't be part of the graduation requirements? there's also a "10 English-conducted courses" requirement which I'm quite skeptical about because I will take most of my courses in English anyway. tysm and stay safe!!
May i ask you is it a free school or you have to pay for the year ? And also do they give y'all schoolar ships and how much if it's okay to answer
This was so helpful, THANK YOU 🙏🏾 😊
Im applying for the fall semester and it opens in two days! Your video was so helpful thank you !
@Pikaa bori you send your high school diploma, (if you are still in school your counselor needs to type a letter saying you’re in track to graduate and the expected date of graduation, it also has to be signed and stamped) and your high school transcript that shows all the semesters !
@Pikaa bori sorry i couldn’t be much help :( you can email the office of admissions they can give you more information on how you can apply! and they answer quite quick !
yeah! This video helped me a lot!!! THANK YOU

This is very informative. Thanks
Our son has been at Yonsei since August (incl. quarantine). Good luck to you.
thank you very much!
this video is so so helpful, i was wondering if i had to take the english test since i literally go to school in America and all the classes are taught in english, so this video answered my question. thank you ❤️😭
Hi Cathy! I graduated from Korea University a long time ago. Nice to meet you. I hope your college life in Korea will remain a precious time. 참 한국어 할 수 있겠구나^^ 코로나가 아니었으면 아마 훨씬 더 재미있는 새내기 생활이 되었을텐데 아쉽네.
맞아요ㅠㅠ 아쉽긴하지만 그래도 한국인 친구들이랑 재밌게 놀면서 상황을 최대한 즐겨보고 있어요!!
그리고 반갑습니당 선배님~!

I am so glad to find this video since I'm trying to apply to KU at the moment
it’s pretty easy if u have a good academic background, so dun worry!
i’m applying next year ☺️ did you apply the same way this girl applied in the video?
Let me know if you get in
yo same omg
@@sofiasantiagomata4013 what are you applying for
I recently figured out that studying Korean in Korea was a thing, and I'm planning on going to KLC once I'm done with high school, this was super informative and detailed, thank you so much!! Wish me luck lol
Do you still want to go? I really want travel buddies!
@@Aria-wg5qb of course! It would be great to have a travel buddy :) But I'm 15 and only in 10th grade right now, still planning on it once I'm old enough though!

FAQ (PLEASE READ):
1. What is the GPA requirement to get accepted to KU?
-> They don’t set a requirement so I’m not sure!
2. Are classes offered in English?
-> Depends on the major. All my business courses can be completed in English, but there are some required general courses in Korean. Other majors may put restrictions on what courses you can take until you get your Korean skill up (i.e. psychology, architecture, etc.)
3. Are there scholarships?
-> Yes. There are academic scholarships if you keep your GPA up and there are department scholarships. You can check your department website or the KU website for more info specifically.
4. I have (x) GPA and I do (x) clubs at school. What are my chances of getting in? How can I be guaranteed admission?
--> I am not an admissions counselor, so I really don't know lol.
5. Do I need to get documents notarized? / Do I really need to send (x) document?
-> Anything the guidebook tells you to do you MUST do or else they’ll email you later and tell you to send it! (That’s more postage you have to pay for as well ㅠㅠ)
6. How much is tuition?
--> Per semester it is 4,036,000 KRW
7. I have (x) grades but I want to major in (y). Do you think I'll have a chance? Should I even consider applying?
--> Grades aren't the only thing they consider! I think if you appeal to them your suitability for Korea and your strong desire to study here, you'll seem like a good candidate. (But don't quote me on that!)
8. I don't know any Korean but my major is taught in Korean. What do I do?
--> you have to take Korean language courses until you get the required topik score, and then you can start taking courses for your major. in the meantime, you will have some credit restrictions.
I’ll add more FAQ as they come up, but these are the most common questions I get asked!
What can I put in optional documents if I don't have sat , act
also sat and act have another box to write the scores above
@@beyourself7651 mmm the application guide has some examples but like for ewha I sent them an honors society certificate. Just anything you want really
@@cathyinkorea hello the application forms will be available by 1march but I haven't taken any English proficiency test till now. Does the university offers its own English proficiency test.? So I can give that . Or English proficiency test can be taken after acceptance? . Please respond.
Is there a KU scholarship for international students for the four years or do you have had completed a semester at KU? My major I want to go in is media and communication.
@@taylorcross4151 i think the only 4 year scholarship is KGSP
sooo cuuttee Cathy :) yours truly aka Anna
💗💝💓💖💕💝💘
Thank you soooo much ...💜💜
You are a saviour!! Thank you so much for this, it answered lots of my questions! I am looking for KU as a freshman and God, the process and required docs are killing me especially that I never entered uni after graduating HS 2 years ago and I have no contact with my teachers for Rec letter but I think I can work that out, hopefully.
best of luck!!
Hi, I’m in the similar situation and I may ask, how did you get your recommendation letter? ☺️
@@Julia-ie6pd I went ahead and sent them an email and fortunately, they replied and willing to write me letters 🤗
@@yijurro8653 that’s really nice of them! I think I’m going to do the same thing at this point I have nothing to lose🤷🏻♀️ Btw, which course are you willing to apply? 👀
@@Julia-ie6pd Yeah! I just gave it a go and see cause yeah, there's nothing to lose! I'm applying for the Media and Communications 🤗
Hi! This was super informative but I was wondering if you could find any information at all about being an overseas Korean? My mom’s half so idk what I would do for this 🙏💛. Super great video!
Hi, thanks for this video! I have been looking at the application guidebook for a while but it looked like so much! You Made it seem so much more simple..:) I don’t know if you mentioned this but can I ask what your GPA was? Because the only vids I have seen about admissions were the scholarship students and they had high GPA’s next to extracurricular,so I’m curious how your gpa was getting in?
can you do a video on ur stats and extracurriculars?.. if you're comfortable with sharing ofc
ruclips.net/video/eQOTNi78EQ0/видео.html
Hey i have a question do you have to include the ielts etc in the documents or do they give you a certain amount of time to take the exam and then send it to them?
Hi Cathy! I have an important question and I would really appreciate if you could answer it. Did you send the original copies of the documents or just the notorized photcopies.
Thank you so much for this video! It's truly the most clear and detailed one I found so far.
Since you're the first person I found that applied to multiple universities, I hope you can help me finally clarify this one doubt I had for the longest time.
I heard people talking about the "university track" (which lets you pick only one university) and the "embassy track" (thanks to which you can choose 3 universities to apply to). But the thing is, that I always heard people talk about these two application methods when talking about a masters degree, and more specifically, when applying for GKS (the scholarship).
Plus, when checking the sites of the universities, I only ever see the voice that says you cannot ENROL into multiple undergrad courses, and nothing really about applying to more than one university. Can you confirm that there isn't a limit when it comes to applying for undergrad courses in Korean universities? Or did you also use the embassy track option in order to be able to apply to all the three universities?
Thank you for your patience in answering all of these questions! You're truly helping so many desperate students hahah
She's not a GKS scholar. She applied as an international student so she can apply to more than one
@@tifeosindele3819 yes yes, I know she isn't a GKS scholar. I just mentioned the scholarship because I wasn't sure if you generally can apply to multiple universities, or if the process is similar for both situations. So thank you very much for clarifying my doubt!
Thanks to your video I got accepted into KU! Media and Communication major Fall 2021
I have a question just to make sure, do they teach in english? I am also interested in the same major
@@claraangelina7347 so a few of the intro courses and some of the 200 level classes are english, but learning Korean is a must. Id recommend you start now if you haven’t already
@Miguk Mystic Hello! I just wanna ask if you took a Korean Language Test like TOPIK before applying? I'm currently a Junior (Gr. 11) and I also wanna major in Media and Communication. Thanks ^__^
@@agatha5118 I did not since only one between English fluency or Korean fluency is required
she looks like kenma, i trust her
Hey,
Loved your video!
The papers you submitted online were also notarized? So you basically need to send copies of the same documents you added to the online application?
Thank you for the help!!
I’m not sure if they’re doing the application process differently bc of corona but I didn’t submit my Diploma/transcript or other notarized docs online. If I recall correctly the only thing I had to submit online were personal information and personal statements (that I later printed out and also included in the envelope). But aside from those two things submitted online, everything was sent as a hard copy!
I wanna know that for letter of recommendation we have to give contact information of our any teacher or we can also give someone else's info other than our teachers???
Hey cathy ! I have some questions ,
I'm 11grader in India and i literally knw nothing about applying for abroad universities , i'm majored in Science , so SAT isn't a must thing to apply ryt? And do i need to take any entrance test?
I hope you'll see this
sick vid
sick editing
Hey I’m from Chicago too!
This is such a lengthy process! oh my goodness 😭
I got KU's graduate offer yesterday! Hope to meet you in KU:)
Woop woop!! Congrats! 🎉
Wow that’s amazing! Congratulations!
I would love to apply for KU’s graduate program soon.
I have some questions if you don’t mind answering 🙏🏽, were you required to take TOPIK 3? How was the application process? When will you be leaving to Korea?
@@cathyinkorea thank you thank you!
@@oluwashegz8581 Yes, TOPIK is required. I applied for Media and Communication graduate school so they require a TOPIK. I got TOPIK 6. It was basically the same as what Cathy said in the video, everything has to be mailed to KU. They have a checklist of documents you needed if you are applying to KU graduate school.
@@fandafancy1902 TOPIK 6? That’s impressive. Alright thank you. I wish you the best!
Do we have to have topik score before applying or can we do it after taking admission like after taking admission can we learn korean for a while and then start our major?
Hey dear thank you for the information 😊
I wanna ask something
If i have 70+ percentage in 12th class and 80+ percentage in TOEFL or IELTS so can i apply in scholarship of korea like snu ?
Hi there!! This video was really helpfull, thank you so much! I was wondering why you decided to not apply to SNU??
Hi Cathy! Recently I applied to the GKS Scholarship program and KU sent me an email needing 2 additional documents, I'm having trouble understanding the Attendance Report that they want me to fill in. By any chance, do you know what am I supposed to put there and how to complete it correctly?
Hey, I hope I’ll get an answer from somebody here. If I wanna apply for a scholarship and have already graduated high school but right now I’m in college and it’s my last year ( I graduate in June 2023) if I wanna apply now should I apply for undergraduate or graduate and should I send my high school gpa or from my last semester in college?
Hello cathy! I have been wondering about the application submission. If i am to submit for fall 2021 semester like around now, will it be late? Can i still apply around this time?
mmm i think the deadline may have passed.. you may have to wait until spring 2022 :/ but check the calendar!
Thank you for this video!!
KU says "2 letters of application". Do you recommend to go above that if the letters will be good?
Hi this video is really helpful and can i pls get to know which course have you taken coz i wanna apply to ku but I am a little confused so
Hi cathy! this is the most useful vid I have encountered, thank you! Can I ask a few ques?
1. I am a senior (Grade 12) and will apply for Fall 2022 because of the school calendar conflict between ph and kor. How do I complete a 1 school year if i’m gonna miss the Spring 2022? 😅 Thank you!
same question!
I think you apply in July if you are gonna start Uni in spring and if you are gonna start in fall you should apply in March or earlier
Hi there! I’m in the same position as you, I’m pretty sure you’ll start your semester in summer, for the term of fall 2022, and will take spring classes next term, I think it’s pretty much the same, but instead of spring semester first, you do fall.
Hi!! I’m curious on the Korean Bachelors degree. I’m an 11th grader in the US and I am considering to apply to a Korean university but want to return to live in the US after my 4 years of college. Will a Korean degree be worth the same as a American degree in America?? Loved the Video!!!
Mmm I'm really not sure because it all depends on your major. I major in business which I think is more flexible compared to other degrees, but if you do some sort of medical or psychology or science field then not every company would accept a Korean degree I think. I know stories of people from overseas that got their degrees in their home countries, and then when they wanted to get a job in the US they had to do almost their entire education over again.
Do I need to do ielts and korean language course (one of them) or it's okay if I don't. I heard we can apply directly without doing any of these if you are good in english. I heard we can continue learning korean in the middle days till then English will be your guide. We can just directly do admission there without any middle person's help like consultancy. 👀
Please your words would be helpful 💓
And do they still take you if you got a year loss ?? Does that affect in my admission ???
I have a question is all your classes in English? And Loved your video💜💕
Check pinned comment!
Does anyone know if I should staple my documents together? Like my self-introduction is 2 pages, do I have to staple them? Or use any paper clips?
I have the same question😣

I’m confuse I’m from Afghanistan but I was raised in UK so I never went to school in Afghanistan and I don’t really speak Persian so do I have to send everything in English
Yes. No matter where you're from, your documents are either supposed to be in korean or in English
Hi Cathy! I'm planning on transferring next year and I'm currently filling up the application form and I have a question. How did you know your application number? It says that you should log in to the KU website and I don't see any log in or register button. Also, when they say that you should write your legal name in Korean does it mean that I should write it in hangeul or should I write my surname first? Hope you can see this and thank you for sharing your information! ❤️
Mmm log into the application website? I don’t remember how they sent it to us honestly 😅 and you can write it in hangeul but I also saw many international students with their names written as last name -> first name just in English, so it’s up to you
Hai Cathy! I would like to ask regarding about highschool transcript. Do most of the Korean universities require SAT? Do they allow only highschool diploma only?
I don’t think many of them require SAT bc they get applications from so many people from so many countries that it’s hard to set a standard just for one type of SAT. I do believe, however, that Seoul National University requires it, but none of the other schools I applied to did. So you’ll be fine with a high school diploma
@@cathyinkorea thank you so much for telling me, really appreciate the vlog you gave and etc. Hwaiting!
Was looking to apply to a Korean university but it’s so hard to have the 20,000 ready when I didn’t expect it.

I am taking running start (college classes for both high school and college credit) at my local community college. Do you think that they will count those credits that I earn from the community college?
mm maybe? i'm not too sure about that situation so you should email the office of admissions!
Hey Cathy,
It's quite an informative video.
Could you please help to confirm if korean universities are OK with students having 15 yrs of education and not 16 yrs.But have good It experienc.
I have checked all of the universities page ,except for kaist eligibility of 16yrs education,no other university have mentioned these details.
Hi i’m from the UK where we do GCSEs and A-levels instead of having a GPA. Do you know or have any friends who know how to apply using these grades instead? Also is there accounting in the business school? If you wouldn’t mind could you make a video on how majors, credits & lessons work?
mmm i don't actually know any friends from the UK but i'm sure it would be acceptable! you should ask the office of admissions about that one!
Is Korea really strict with Covid rules? Do you have to wear a mask in public or is it just "use it to pass through the gate/door or wear it in a restaurant or mall and that's it?"
I’m 14 y.o and i’m going now to 9 grade . In my country english not main language, so i can’t take english exam. I want to ask:
How old i have be to go to Korean University like Yonsei?
Can i go to this University without High school? They have own school ?

Hii, I'm a high school student of the economic sector in Italy. I wanna study at SNU but i really need to know some questions :
Are South Korean universities' degrees valuable outside of South Korea? Will either of European or North American countries (U.S and Canada) accept a person's university degree from South Korea for finding an appropriate job?
hi! this is a difficult question because it depends on the field. like i think a degree in business would be much more flexible (and if i go back to the states, i think being a native-born american would help) on my part, but when it comes to fields like medicine or the sciences, it would be much harder. i know stories of people born in other countries and getting a degree from their home country, then they go to the States to get a job and they had to retake much of their education at a US university :/ but that person studied biology. so i think ~maybe~ (don't take my word for it lol) a degree in humanities would be more accepted from an international university compared to a degree in the sciences or medicine. there might be some other research about it, but that is what I think!

Did you have to get an apostille for every document or did you get an apostille for the batch of documents you submitted?
The school tells you what you what documents that needs to be apostilled .

Hello! Can I ask if you came from a public or private school from Grade 1-12. I'm also a Filipino student and I want to know if SKY Universities consider your high school alma mater like for example, will you have higher chances of getting accepted if you came from a private school or will they entertain you more if you cane from a more "Known" High school or it no? Do you just need to have high grades no matter what high school you came from? Is there a private school advantage in college admissions in korea? I'm currently a Grade 9 student and I'm having a hard time deciding on which high school I'm going to attend because I'm currently on a private school but I consider transferring to a public school because private is too exhausting with the complicated and toooooooo many activities.
Edit:I really hope you answer this 🥺

Do you need to give your IELTS or Topik certificate?
Do you need to learn Korean for 1 year and then you course started???Please answer me
Hi, thank you so much for your video it's incredibly informative. I have one question though and I have not been able to find the answer anywhere. It says to send our diploma and not a copy, however, they also say that none of the submitted documents will be returned. Therefore, they have your real diploma forever? we won't ever get it back? I don't really want to give them my original :(
what i did is i got two originals from my high school and got one of them apostilled and sent to korea, and then the other one i am keeping at home! so if your high school is able to cooperate in doing that, i recommend that method!

Can anyone tell me how to convert your percentage and CGPA to GPA. I am really confused even after researching alot. Some say above 75% is 3 GPA and some say above 90% is 3GPA.

hi ! i’ve already graduated from diploma and wanted to apply for undergraduate business school in kodae.
1) is there any possibility i can transfer credit & start the sem with year 2 (?) since i already learn some subjects back in diploma ?
2) can i take all language courses in business school ? how is the environment in the class ? is it all foreigners or there are koreans too ?
thankyou in advanced !!
My apologies if this is a bit too personal but, how were your grades(or gpa ) that you sent on your application doc ? Because I am a bit nervous on that part and is it necessary to get in a lot of clubs ?
If you don't want to answer this question i get it and i am sincerely sorry for making you uncomfortable .
Hey! Sorry if this is a silly question but, right now I'm 10th grade (highschool ends at 12th grade, I am now 15 y.o) and this university is one of my goal universities that I'm thinking of applying, when should I start getting more into this application process? Now or in 11th grade, or in 12th grade etc? FYI I also want to take IELTS when the time comes
any recommendations for international korean school?
Hi! thank you so much for this video, it is really helpful

HELP! Korea University is asking for an original certificate of deposit signed or sealed by my bank. I mailed them my bank statement, but it wasn’t “signed or sealed”. I called my bank and asked them what they can do to comply with this. They emailed me a letter of account status, which I don’t think will cut it. What did you send them from your bank that satisfied their requirement? My response window is short so I need to figure this out quickly. Thanks!

I don’t think KU requires it but I did send it in for Ewha. My bank sends monthly statements in the mail so I just got one of those notarized and sent it. Anything listed on the application guidebook you must send or else they’ll contact you later to send it
Hi Cathy~ When you did the apostille stamp did they ask for both the secretary of Chicago state and the federal? Or just Chicago?
Mmm if you live in Chicagoland just go to the secretary of state office downtown! There should be only 1 office I think and it’s the only place you need to go to
So are you sending the original document such as a birth papers and if so is there any policy for if it gets damaged or lost
hey! im really really sorry if this has been mentioned in the video as I'm still currently watching the video, but is ku really generous when it comes to scholarships? with the high costs of living compared to my home country im just afraid that my parents wouldn't be able to handle everything, so im kind of worried. also, yonsei has this mandatory 1 year study for internationals where they have to pay around 6 million won per semester which is much more expensive than the ones provided by KU. do you know if ku has something similar or whether you have to pay for the extra korean classes you will be taking? I'm hoping to get an entrance scholarship as much as possible (the Scholarship A : full Tuition fee for 8 semesters. or Scholarship B : 50% of Tuition fee for 8 semesters.), but i noticed they're pretty selective and most scholarships are genuinely offered to students at the second semester. may i ask if the 4m won includes the korean placement? im taking the topik this October since it got postponed (was supposed to take it last 2020 but corona sucks), do you think i'd be able to turn my scores in considering the application is from august - september, meaning after i probably get my topik results my application outcomewould have been out already?
lastly, would it be recommended to take the sat for no reason other than application for ku since its optional for ku and not a requirement locally in my case? may i also sk how much they covered your tuition for one semester? i saw in the comments you would have gotten a 50 or 100%, which one did you get? do you also have to reapply for the scholarship every semester and is the application for the scholarship easy?
Im so so sorry but thank you so much!! i hope ku is treating you well!
at KU, you don't have to pay extra for korean courses unless you study at the KLC. if your major requires korean proficiency you can take korean courses during the regular semester until you get the proper topik score, and then you can start taking major courses. i don't know how selective they are with scholarships but for the academic one, i think it's just your gpa has to meet a certain benchmark. the one i got was after my first year at KU, and it is the 100% tuition scholarship, but i really don't know much about the need-based scholarships. each department typically does have its own need-based scholarships too.
the korean placement test if i remember correctly didn't cost anything because it's just offered at the school. and you may be able to submit your topik score later. i would recommend instead applying with your english proficiency score if you don't think your topik score would be high enough if your major requires korean proficiency. i got accepted with english proficiency, and my major doesn't require topik.
as for the sat, that's really up to you if you think it will help you, but none of the schools i applied to looked at my sat score and it turned out well for me with just the documents and personal statements i submitted
@@cathyinkorea you are soso amazing, thank you so much this was really helpful! this information cleared my concerns, i’m definitely more inclined to try applying to ku than yonsei and im so thankful for your help! if you received the 100% tuition scholarship, was it for all the remaining semesters or was it only for one semester? would this merit that i would only be eligible to apply after one semester at KU (so on the second semester) since they’d look at your current grades or is it only after the first year? im also planning to take up business there! 🤩
Hey! Is teachers recommendation required? Because i plan to take one year break because i dont want to rush my graduation with transfers to korea uni
I have completed and submitted common app for Yonsei underwood college and now see people are sending mails to them. Should I resubmit it with their website and send my documents by mail?
I'll be 17 year old after graduating high school in june but you must apply for universities and scholarships in march which means I will waste a whole year to apply missing so many other opportunities and I was wondering if I could apply before my graduation or something
Hi! I really found your video helpful since I plan on transferring to Korea University this Fall 2021 😊 I was wondering though how you did the online application submission. Did you have to make a uwayapply account? If yes, can you please explain how you filled in the user information?
it’s pretty easy if u just google it ot straight up go to the uway website
actually i think KU uses their own portal, not the uwayapply website! i don't remember for certain but KU's portal will open in March when the app window opens!
