[2021 Early Admission Special] Ajou University Accepts Applicants with GED for Comprehensive Student Records Review

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Ajou University selects 1,544 students through early admission, accounting for 72.9% of the total admission quota. Students are selected through ▲Student Record Screening (259 students) ▲Comprehensive Student Record Screening (1,070 students) ▲Essay Test (203 students) ▲Practical Skills Test (12 students).

The Student Record Screening evaluates only academic records 100% and does not consider non-academic activities (attendance, volunteer work, etc.). Since no minimum CSAT score is required across all departments, students with strong school grades are encouraged to apply.

The Comprehensive Student Record Screening includes eight types: ACE Screening, SW Convergence Talent Screening, Dasan Talent Screening, and Equal Opportunity I & II Screenings. The ACE Screening is the representative comprehensive screening method, selecting three times the number of candidates in the first stage based on 100% document evaluation, and in the second stage, final successful candidates are selected by reflecting 70% of the first stage score and 30% interview score. This year, all eligibility restrictions have been lifted, allowing applicants who have passed the qualification exam to apply.

The SW Convergence Talent Screening selects 30 students for the Software Department. It selects students with capabilities and potential in the software field based on their math and science skills learned in the high school curriculum. This is a two-stage screening process: the first stage selects three times the number of candidates based on 100% document evaluation, and the second stage selects final successful candidates by reflecting 70% of the first stage score and 30% interview score.

The Dasan Talent Screening and Equal Opportunity I & II Screenings select successful candidates based on 100% comprehensive document evaluation. The Dasan Talent Screening has no restrictions on the number of completed credits in math, science, and foreign language subjects or graduation year, and is open to all domestic and international high school graduates (or prospective graduates). The Equal Opportunity I Screening is open to national veterans, rural or island area residents, graduates of specialized high schools, basic livelihood security recipients, low-income families, and single-parent family support recipients. The Equal Opportunity II Screening is open to social contributors, socially disadvantaged individuals, and multi-child families.

These three screenings comprehensively and qualitatively evaluate submitted documents without interviews. The Defense IT Elite 1 Screening selects 20 students for the Defense Digital Convergence Department, which has a contract with the Air Force to cultivate elite officers in the defense ICT field. The application period is from 9 a.m. on the 23rd to 5 p.m. on the 28th.
