Hanyang University Campus View

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju]Hanyang University will select a total of 3,278 students for the 2023 academic year early admission, with 2,917 within the quota and 361 outside the quota. In the early admission essay screening, the weighting of the essay test has been increased from 80% last year to 90%. In other words, the essay test weighting was raised from 80% to 90%, and the comprehensive student record evaluation was reduced from 20% to 10%. The number of students selected through the essay screening decreased by about 4% compared to the previous year, and the selection for the Department of Medicine was abolished.

The selection method for the Software Talent screening, which last year selected five times the number of candidates in the first stage based on 100% performance evaluation and then selected candidates in the second stage based on 60% first stage score and 40% comprehensive student record evaluation, has been changed to a combined evaluation. Selection will be based on 60% performance evaluation and 40% comprehensive student record evaluation.

The eligibility criteria for special education candidates under the comprehensive student record equal opportunity screening have been relaxed. Last year, only those registered as disabled under Article 32 of the Disabled Welfare Act with severe disabilities, corresponding to the previous disability grades 1 to 3, were eligible. For the 2023 academic year, eligibility has been relaxed to include all those registered as disabled.
