The evaluation method is △ Korean and Math use standard scores △ Inquiry subjects use the sum of two subjects' self-converted scores (utilizing percentile scores) △ English and Korean History use separate converted scores by grade. The self-converted scores for the inquiry area can be checked on the admissions office website. Korean History has no penalty up to grade 4, and penalties start from grade 5.


General Admission 1 (Medical Department) and Rural Students Admission (Medical Department) are conducted with 95% CSAT and 5% interview scores, selecting 10 students for General Admission 1 (Medical Department) and 1 student for Rural Students Admission (Medical Department). The interview evaluation is a personality interview with given prompts, conducted as a blind interview where multiple interviewers evaluate one applicant for about 10 minutes.


General Admission 2 (excluding Medical and Pharmacy) and General Admission 4 (Cross Admission) select 547 students in group D based 100% on CSAT scores. The natural sciences track reflects Korean, Math (Calculus/Geometry), English, two science inquiry subjects, and Korean History.
