'Employment Prestige' Do-ing Dongmyeong University, This Is How They Recruit for Early Admission

Dongmyung University will recruit 1,408 students, which is 96% of the quota for the 2024 academic year, through early admission (application period: September 11?15).

Dongmyung University's early admission selection types include three categories: student record-based selection, comprehensive student record-based selection, and achievement-based selection.

The student record-based selection includes interview selection, general high school record selection, and specialized high school record selection. The comprehensive student record-based selection consists of the Creative Talent selection and Software Talent selection. The achievement-based selection includes practical skill selection and special talent selection.

Among the early admission types, the record-based selection recruits the largest number of students, but the number of subjects reflected in the grades is limited to eight, reducing the burden. Compared to overall school grades, Dongmyung University calculates internal grades at a higher rate, encouraging applicants to apply confidently and actively.

Multiple applications across all selection types are allowed. Also, except for the Department of Nursing, no minimum CSAT (College Scholastic Ability Test) score requirements are applied to any recruitment unit.

The method of reflecting school record grades is the same for all selection types, considering the top eight subjects (including career elective subjects) among Korean, English, Mathematics, Social Studies (including Korean History), and Science. However, three subjects among Korean, English, and Mathematics are mandatory.

Career elective subjects can be reflected up to two subjects regardless of grade or semester (achievement level A → grade 1, B → grade 3, C → grade 5), and even if the same subject is taken in different semesters, both are included.

A major change in the early admission for the 2024 academic year is the establishment of a special talent selection, recruiting a total of 12 students with a weighting of 30% student record and 70% award achievements. In this selection, grades (scores) are assigned based on award achievements for evaluation.

The departments recruiting under the special talent selection are the Department of Sports Rehabilitation, the School of Entertainment Arts, and the K-sports Taekwondo Department, recruiting 7 special talents in shooting, bowling, and bodybuilding, and 5 special talents in Taekwondo.

The general high school selection has been renamed to the Physical Education/Military Talent selection. The weighting for evaluation elements is 50% student record, 40% interview, and 10% physical fitness test, recruiting in the K-sports Taekwondo Department and the Department of Military Science.

Also, the 40% interview portion of the Physical Education/Military Talent selection evaluates understanding of the major field, social skills, and communication ability rather than subject knowledge questions. Anyone interested in the recruitment unit can achieve good scores. The 10% physical fitness test measures basic physical strength through two events: sit-ups and push-ups.

This year, the Physical Education/Military Talent selection includes specialized high schools, Meister high schools, and accredited academic high schools, and the eligibility has been relaxed so that anyone who has graduated (or is expected to graduate) from a domestic high school or has equivalent academic ability can apply.

Applicants upload video responses to 2?3 questions disclosed on the exam day, and the admissions officers evaluate the submitted videos focusing on personality, values, and communication skills.

The Department of Visual Design and the Department of Webtoon & Animation reflect 100% practical skill. For the Department of Visual Design, applicants choose one subject among Conceptual Shift, Idea and Expression, and Basic Design for evaluation. For the Department of Webtoon & Animation, applicants select one subject among Panel Comics, Situational Expression, and Basic Design for evaluation.

The comprehensive student record-based selections, Creative Talent and Software Talent, select students through a comprehensive evaluation of the school record (100% documents) related to activities in the applied major over the three years of high school by admissions officers (professors and full-time officers).

Based on the contents of the school record (attendance, creative experiential activities, detailed subject abilities and special notes, reading activities, behavioral characteristics, and comprehensive opinions), students who have interest and passion for the applied major can challenge the application even if their academic grades are somewhat lacking.
