[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] The average competition rate for the 2022 academic year early admission at Chonnam National University was 8.09 to 1.

According to Chonnam National University on the 15th, the early admission application deadline closed at 6 p.m. on September 14, with 25,591 applicants for 3,163 spots, showing an average competition rate of 8.09 to 1, significantly higher than last year's 6.44 to 1.

By campus, Gwangju Campus recorded 9.47 to 1 (last year 7.27 to 1), and Yeosu Campus recorded 3.65 to 1 (last year 3.71 to 1).

The increase in competition rate appears to be due to a reduction in some early admission spots compared to the previous year, shifting them to regular admissions, as well as changes in conditions such as the implementation of undergraduate recruitment for the College of Pharmacy.

The highest competition rate was in the College of Pharmacy, with 1,036 applicants for 43 spots, recording 24.09 to 1.

The newly established Department of Convergence Bio-systems Engineering, created in the 2022 academic year, closed with a competition rate of 11.63 to 1, confirming interest in advanced departments.

The Student Record Comprehensive Screening (Early Employment Contract Department Admission), recruiting outside the quota, is recruiting 84 students across 3 departments with participation from 48 companies, and the number of applicants is 205, resulting in a competition rate of 2.44 to 1.
