[2022 Early Admission] Sungshin Women's University Increases Quotas in Advanced Fields such as AI Convergence and Biohealth

Soh Hyun-jin, Director of the Future Talent Division at Sungshin Women's University

Sungshin Women's University will select 1,465 freshmen, accounting for 65.6%, through early admission for the 2022 academic year. The university plans to gradually increase the proportion of the CSAT-focused admission in future entrance exams.

Last year, the university adjusted the student quotas in advanced fields by establishing new departments such as the Department of Mathematical Statistics and Data Science, Department of Chemistry and Energy Convergence, Department of AI Convergence, Department of Bio New Drug Medical Science, and Department of Bio Health Convergence, thereby increasing the number of recruits.

In the early admission process, the largest number of students, 1,032, are selected through student record-based evaluations (comprehensive and academic records). The comprehensive student record evaluation is divided into two tracks: the 'Outstanding School Life Track' selects talents who have diligently balanced academic and various activities during their school life, and the 'Self-Directed Talent Track' selects students who have a clear sense of purpose and passion in their major field and possess strong research capabilities during high school.

The Outstanding School Life Track is evaluated 100% based on documents, with a focus on whether the applicant has actively engaged in diverse experiences in creative experiential activities across all subjects (including special notes). The Self-Directed Talent Track uses a two-step evaluation process: in the first step, 100% document evaluation selects three times the number of candidates, and in the second step, a combined score of 30% interview and 70% document evaluation determines the final selection. Emphasis is placed on whether activities that enhance understanding of the major are well reflected in both academic subjects and creative experiential activities.

For tracks evaluated 100% by documents, such as Outstanding School Life, Equal Opportunity I, Equal Opportunity II, and Specialized High School Graduate Working Student Track, the evaluation criteria are 40% academic ability, 20% major suitability, 20% potential for development, and 20% character.

In the Outstanding School Life Track, academic ability accounts for 40%, while in the Self-Directed Talent Track, major suitability accounts for 40%.

The minimum CSAT score requirements for the Student Record Academic Regional Balance Track have changed starting this year. Among the top one subject in Korean, English, Math, and Inquiry, the combined score of two subjects must be within grade 6 for humanities departments and within grade 7 for natural sciences departments. Last year, English was mandatory, but this requirement has been relaxed this year.
