Kim Young-jun, Director of Admissions, Sangmyung University

Sangmyung University Seoul Campus will recruit 918 students in the 2022 academic year early admission. The admission types are divided into △School Record-Based (High School Recommendation Track · Seohae 5 Islands Student Track) △Comprehensive Student Record-Based (Sangmyung Talent Track · Equal Opportunity Track · Graduates of Specialized High Schools and Employed Track · Special Education Target Track) △Practical Skills and Achievements (Practical Skills Track). The High School Recommendation Track will recruit 367 students at the Seoul Campus.

Applicants must receive a recommendation from their school principal (up to 10 recommendations per high school) to be eligible to apply. Eligibility requires graduation (or expected graduation) from a domestic high school after February 2017, completion of five semesters of school curriculum records (four semesters for expected graduates), and students whose academic records can be calculated. The evaluation reflects 100% academic grades with no weighting by grade level. Non-academic factors such as attendance and volunteer work are not considered. For all departments, the sum of the grades in two areas among Korean, Mathematics, English, Social Studies/Science Inquiry (one subject) must be within 7 grades.

The representative comprehensive student record-based admission, the Sangmyung Talent Track, conducts document evaluation and an interview. Other comprehensive student record-based admissions select candidates solely based on 100% document evaluation.

The Sangmyung Talent Track is conducted in two stages: 100% document evaluation in the first stage (selecting three times the number of candidates), and 70% document evaluation plus 30% interview in the second stage. The interview is a document (school record) based confirmation interview, conducted as a blind interview lasting about 10 minutes. From the 2022 academic year, the self-introduction letter has been abolished to simplify application documents and reduce the burden on applicants.

Sangmyung University’s comprehensive student record-based admission aims to select students who have goals and passion for their field of application and actively develop their capabilities with potential for growth. It comprehensively evaluates various activities, passion, and efforts related to the department through the academic and non-academic contents of the school record. Applicants for the comprehensive student record-based admission are also advised to consider applying for the school record-based admission. The practical skills track does not apply any minimum CSAT score requirements.
