[2023 Early Admission] Sungshin Women's University, No CSAT Minimum Requirement for Student Record Screening

Sungshin Women’s University will select 1,445 students (65.8%) through the 2023 academic year regular admission early decision process. The number of students admitted by each early decision track is 760 (34.6%) for the comprehensive student record track, 251 (11.4%) for the regional balance track which is a curriculum-based track, 175 (8%) for the essay excellence track, and 259 (11.8%) for the general student (practical skills) track which is a practical performance-based track.

The comprehensive student record track selects freshmen through three categories considering the diversity of applicants: the “Outstanding School Life Track,” the “Self-Directed Talent Track,” and the “Equal Opportunity I Track.” None of the comprehensive student record tracks apply the minimum CSAT (College Scholastic Ability Test) score requirement. Evaluation is conducted through two tracks: the document-based track, which selects candidates based on 100% document evaluation, and the interview track, which combines document and interview evaluations. The self-introduction letter is used as evaluation material in the comprehensive student record track.

For the 2023 academic year, the document-based track includes the Outstanding School Life Track, Equal Opportunity I Track, Equal Opportunity II Track (outside quota), and the employed graduate track for graduates of specialized high schools (outside quota). They select 215, 109, 15, and 60 students respectively. The interview track includes the Self-Directed Talent Track, selecting 436 students.

The Outstanding School Life Track conducts qualitative evaluation based on four assessment criteria (character 20%, major suitability 20%, academic ability 40%, potential for development 20%) to select candidates who have faithfully carried out school life through academic and various activities during high school.

The Self-Directed Talent Track selects three times the number of candidates in the first stage based on 100% document evaluation, and in the second stage selects candidates based on 70% document evaluation from the first stage and 30% interview. The first stage comprehensively evaluates the criteria (character 20%, major suitability 40%, academic ability 20%, potential for development 20%) based on documents.

The curriculum-based student record track will no longer apply weighted units by grade starting this year. It reflects achievement in career elective subjects within designated curriculum areas. There are the regional balance track (251 students) within the quota, and the specialized high school graduate track (30 students) and special education target track (up to 5 students) outside the quota.

The regional balance track requires a principal’s recommendation with no limit on the number of recommendations. However, students from arts high schools, physical education high schools, Meister high schools, specialized high schools, and broadcasting and communication high schools are not eligible to apply. The regional balance track applies a minimum CSAT score requirement with 90% student record curriculum and 10% extracurricular (attendance) evaluation. For humanities, the sum of two grades among Korean, Math, English, and Social Studies must be within 6; for natural sciences, the sum of two grades among Korean, Math, English, and Science must be within 7.

The essay track, called the Essay Excellence Track, applies a minimum CSAT score requirement with 70% essay test and 30% student record evaluation. The essay test is conducted separately for humanities and natural sciences, and the minimum CSAT grade requirement is the same as the curriculum-based regional balance track.
