[2024 Early Admission Special] Ajou University Conducts Interviews for All Student Record Comprehensive Screening Applicants

63.7% of 1,390 Students Admitted through Early Admission
New Advanced Convergence Talent Track Established, Recruiting for New Departments

Ajou University will select 1,390 students, accounting for 63.7% of the total recruitment quota, through early admission. In this early admission, the Dasan Talent Track, which previously selected students based only on documents in the comprehensive student record screening, has been abolished and replaced with the newly established Advanced Convergence Talent Track.

By admission type, the university will select ▲Student Record Curriculum Track (276 students) ▲Comprehensive Student Record Track (923 students) ▲Essay Track (158 students) ▲Practical Skills and Achievements Track (33 students). Unlike last year, the Student Record Curriculum High School Recommendation Track will reflect the top three career elective subjects per curriculum. Additionally, in the Comprehensive Student Record Track, personal statements have been abolished, and awards, autonomous clubs, individual volunteer work, and reading activities recorded in the school life record will not be considered. The Dasan Talent Track and SW Convergence Talent Track have been discontinued in the Comprehensive Student Record Track.

With the abolition of the document screening in the Comprehensive Student Record Track, interviews will be conducted in all tracks except for the Equal Opportunity 1 and 2 Tracks. The existing five evaluation criteria (academic competence, goal orientation, self-directedness, community spirit, sincerity) have been reduced to three (academic competence, career competence, community competence).

Students admitted through the newly established Advanced Convergence Talent Track to newly established departments (Advanced New Materials Engineering, AI Mobility Engineering, Intelligent Semiconductor Engineering) will receive the 'Advanced Talent Scholarship A,' which grants a full tuition waiver for one year based on initial admission and guarantees dormitory accommodation.

The Student Record Curriculum High School Recommendation Track reflects 100% of the student record curriculum and does not consider extracurricular activities. As in the previous year, there is no limit on the number of recommendations per school, no weighting by field, grade, or subject, and all subjects including Korean, English, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science are reflected. The minimum CSAT (College Scholastic Ability Test) requirement is a combined grade of 5 or less in two subjects for both the natural sciences and humanities tracks.

The Comprehensive Student Record Track includes ▲ACE Track ▲Advanced Convergence Talent Track ▲Equal Opportunity 1 Track ▲Equal Opportunity 2 Track ▲Special Education Target Track ▲Track for Employed Graduates of Specialized High Schools.
