[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] For the 2023 academic year, Dongduk Women's University’s early admission consists of a total of eight selection types, including student record-based, practical/performance-based, and others (special admission for overseas Koreans and foreigners). The student record-based selection is divided into student record curriculum selection (student record curriculum excellence selection) and comprehensive student record selection (Dongduk Creative Leader selection, Equal Opportunity selection I, Equal Opportunity selection II, and specialized high school graduate worker selection). The practical/performance-based selection is divided into practical excellence selection and special talent selection.

Starting from the 2023 academic year, due to the academic system reform, the existing recruitment unit names have changed from departments to majors. The Dongduk Creative Leader selection for Painting major, Fashion Design major, Visual & Interior Design major, and the special talent selection for Physical Education major will no longer recruit from this year, and the corresponding quota will be selected through the practical excellence selection. The comprehensive student record selection will select a total of 281 students through Dongduk Creative Leader selection, Equal Opportunity selection I & II, and specialized high school graduate worker selection. They recruit 167, 4, and 6 students respectively by humanities & natural sciences, design, and fine arts categories. The first stage is 100% document screening, and the second stage selects candidates based on the first stage results and interviews. Equal Opportunity special selections I & II each recruit 12 students and have changed to a 100% document screening combined evaluation from this year, so interviews will not be conducted. The specialized high school graduate worker special selection recruits a total of 80 students in the College of Future Talent Convergence, selecting students with 60% document evaluation and 40% interview. The interview evaluates major suitability, potential for development, and personality.

The student record curriculum excellence selection is a 100% student record curriculum score selection with minimum academic achievement criteria, recruiting a total of 464 students. In 2022, the successful applicants’ scores ranged from late grade 2 to early grade 3, and the Pharmacy department, which attracted attention due to the transition to an integrated 6-year program for new admissions, showed an average of about grade 1.3. The minimum academic achievement criteria require a total of 7 grades or less in two of the four CSAT areas (with the average of two social/science subjects for inquiry) (6 grades if including the English area). For the Pharmacy department, two areas among Korean, Math (calculus/geometry selection required), and inquiry (average of two science subjects) must total within grade 4. The practical excellence selection increased its total recruitment by 49 students compared to the previous year in the early admission. The increased recruitment units are Painting, Fashion Design, Visual & Interior Design, Physical Education, Dance, Model, and Vocal Music majors. Except for the change in the Physical Education major’s practical test method from physical fitness measurement to performance demonstration (hip-hop, aerobics, dance sports), it is the same as in 2022.

The special talent selection recruits talents in Literature (Creative Writing major), Broadcasting & Entertainment (Broadcasting & Entertainment major), and Model (Model major). Since the detailed eligibility requirements vary by recruitment unit, applicants should check the qualifications carefully before applying. It should be noted that the minimum academic achievement criteria for literature talents require a total of 8 grades or less in two of the four CSAT areas (with the average of two social/science subjects for inquiry).
