Mapo-gu Offers 1:1 College Admission Counseling for Non-Face-to-Face Regular Admission Preparation

On the 26th, Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education conducted counseling using a non-face-to-face online platform (ZOOM) considering the COVID-19 situation

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Mapo-gu (District Mayor Yoo Dong-gyun) will operate a ‘2021 College Entrance Regular Admission 1:1 Special Counseling’ on the 26th for examinees preparing for this year’s college entrance exams.

Following the great response from participants and residents to the ‘2021 College Entrance Early Admission 1:1 Online Counseling’ held last August, the district plans to support examinees ahead of the admission season through the operation of 1:1 special counseling in the second half of the year.

The response to this regular admission counseling was also enthusiastic, with all 80 spots for the first day of advance reservation fully booked.

Considering the ongoing spread of COVID-19 in the metropolitan area, this counseling will be conducted as a non-face-to-face session using the online platform (ZOOM), similar to the previous early admission counseling.

Ten teachers from the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education’s College Admission Guidance Support Team will participate to help examinees design their career paths based on their CSAT score reports and student records, matching their aptitude and capabilities.

Each examinee will receive a free 40-minute counseling session, during which they can get assistance in finding universities and departments they have a chance of acceptance at and in filling out their regular admission applications.

The district expects this 1:1 special counseling to serve as a guide not only by providing systematic information about the increasingly complex college admission process but also by helping students and parents whose exam preparations were disrupted by the COVID-19 situation to pursue their dreams and hopes.

Yoo Dong-gyun, Mayor of Mapo-gu, said, “I hope this customized counseling, which considers individual characteristics, can ease the worries of examinees who are anxious ahead of the admission season,” and added, “We support many examinees in entering the universities and departments they aspire to.”
