[2021 Early Admission Special] Sookmyung Women's University, Separate Selection for Student Record Comprehensive Sookmyung Talent I and II

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Sookmyung Women's University selects 67.8% of its quota through early admission (2,190 students).

The proportion of students admitted through the comprehensive student record screening has increased. The Sookmyung Talent Screening is divided into document screening (Sookmyung Talent I) and interview screening (Sookmyung Talent II). The document screening Sookmyung Talent I selects a total of 423 students based 100% on documents, reducing the burden of interviews. The interview screening Sookmyung Talent II selects a total of 230 students in two stages: the first stage is 100% document screening (4 times the number of candidates), and the second stage is 40% from the first stage and 60% interview. The comprehensive student record screening is conducted with full consideration of the circumstances of third-year high school students who have difficulty attending school.

As in the previous year, the interview evaluation uses a blind interview method where applicants' personal information (name, exam number, high school name, etc.) is not provided. Applicants are prohibited from wearing uniforms or clothing that can verify personal information on the interview day, and mentioning the applicant's name or high school name during the interview is forbidden. Furthermore, answers that include real names of parents or relatives, or job titles, workplace names, or positions that could indicate social or economic status are also prohibited.

The Creative Arts Talent Screening selects a total of 154 students from the Department of Dance, College of Music, and College of Fine Arts. National veterans and equal opportunity selection are integrated into the equal opportunity screening, which includes rural students (outside quota), graduates from specialized high schools (outside quota), employed graduates from specialized high schools (outside quota), and students with special education needs (outside quota). The selection process is simplified by conducting a 100% document review for all stages.
