From 1:30 PM on YouTube 'HonamdaeTV'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Honam University (President Park Sangcheol) announced on the 21st that it will hold the ‘2021 Academic Year University Admission Strategy Seminar’ online from 1:30 PM to 6:30 PM on the 22nd.

This admission strategy seminar special lecture, prepared by Honam University to assist local high school teachers with college admission guidance, will feature Park Kwonwoo, director of the Admission Strategy Office at Ewha Womans University-affiliated Geumran High School and author of ‘Eating Watermelon and Going to University,’ as the lecturer.

Director Park will explain the main features of the 2021 academic year university admission process and provide strategies for admission guidance.

Originally, this event was scheduled to be held jointly by Honam University and the Gwangju Career and Admission Council at the International Conference Room of the National Asia Culture Center, but due to COVID-19 prevention measures, it will be conducted online and broadcast live via YouTube channel ‘Honam University TV.’

In the ‘2020 academic year early admission,’ Honam University received 10,546 applications for 1,624 spots, achieving a high competition rate of 6.5 to 1, the highest among four-year private universities in the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions.

Honam University has maintained the top competition rate in early admissions among private universities in Gwangju and Jeonnam for five consecutive years, ranking first in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2019 (including national and public universities).

Honam University, the only AI-specialized university in Korea nurturing all students as AI convergence talents, will select all 1,651 students in the 2021 academic year early admission from November 23 to 28.

The 2021 academic year early admission general student selection reflects 60% of the student record and 40% of the interview.

However, the Nursing Department and Physical Therapy Department conduct a stepwise selection process, selecting five times the number of applicants based on 100% student records in the first stage, followed by interviews. Other general departments conduct a unified selection process where all applicants undergo interviews.

The most notable feature of the interview selection is that there is no minimum CSAT (College Scholastic Ability Test) grade requirement. To broaden applicants’ options, overlapping applications are allowed between the interview-centered selection and the student record-centered selection, and the general administrative fee is discounted for duplicate applications.

In the 2021 admission, the Clinical Pathology Department is newly established, selecting 25 freshmen for the first time. The Nursing Department’s quota is increased by 30 to 160 students, and the Emergency Medical Services Department is increased by 10 to 50 students, actively reflecting student preferences and manpower demand trends according to future social changes to foster ‘customized talent development.’
