[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] On the 13th, the Korea Council for University Education introduced a service that allows applicants to prepare the common application form and common self-introduction essay in advance before the 2021 academic year university admission early decision application period.

According to the Council, the common application submission service enables applicants to fill out the common application form only once and submit it to multiple universities they apply to. This service can be used when applying to most universities, including 188 general universities, 135 junior colleges, and 5 others.

This year, the early decision application period for four-year universities is from the 23rd to the 28th, with each university having at least three days within this period. For junior colleges, the first round is from September 23 to October 13, and the second round is from November 23 to 27. However, since the common application submission pre-service has been operating since July 1, applicants can prepare their common application forms and common self-introduction essays in advance.

To use the common application submission service, applicants must first register as integrated members on either 'Uway Apply' or 'Jinhak Apply.' The common application form and common self-introduction essay, once completed, can be used for multiple universities the applicant wishes to apply to. It is also possible to revise and resubmit them later.

The Council explained, "If there is a surge in user access at the application deadline, it may take a long time to complete the common application form and self-introduction essay, and applicants may rush and make mistakes. Therefore, applicants should prepare their applications in advance."

Additionally, since the common application submission service may not function properly depending on the applicant's computer environment or internet browser updates, it is advised to check for errors beforehand. When using a PC in a public place, caution is needed to avoid issues such as program installation errors that could cause problems during application submission.

Meanwhile, the Council announced that it provides major university-specific information about the 2021 academic year early decision admissions on the 'University Admission Information Portal Eodiga,' where applicants can view university admission information in one place. On 'Eodiga,' students can diagnose which universities they can apply to by using last year's admission results and score calculation services for four-year universities nationwide, and they can receive counseling online or by phone.
