[2024 Early Admission Special] Korea University to Select 2,593 Students through Early Admission... School Recommendation Track Only Open to Current Students

Selecting 1,844 Students Through Comprehensive Student Record Screening
Applying Minimum CSAT Score Criteria for Both Student Record Curriculum and Comprehensive Screening

Korea University will admit 2,593 students through the 2024 academic year early admission. This year, only current students, not graduates, can apply for the School Recommendation Track.

By admission type, 679 students will be selected through the Student Record Academic Track, 1,844 through the Student Record Comprehensive Track, and 70 through the Practical Skills and Achievements Track.

The student record-based admission, which accounts for the largest portion of early admissions, is divided into the Student Record Academic Track (School Recommendation Track) and the Student Record Comprehensive Track (Academic Excellence Track, Cyber Defense Track, Major Suitability Track, Equal Opportunity Track, and Employed Applicant Track). This year, applicants cannot apply to both the School Recommendation Track and the Academic Excellence Track simultaneously. Only current students can apply for the School Recommendation Track.

The Student Record Academic Track (School Recommendation Track) selects candidates in a single step by combining 80% of the school record (academic) and 20% of document evaluation, then applying the minimum CSAT score requirement to determine the final successful applicants. This track quantitatively evaluates academic grades, reflecting 80%. The document evaluation assesses the completeness of academic course completion and community competency.

Unlike the Student Record Academic Track, the Student Record Comprehensive Track comprehensively evaluates all records centered on the school record. The Academic Excellence Track (Student Record Comprehensive Track) selects five times the number of applicants in the first stage by evaluating documents 100%, then in the second stage combines 70% of the first stage score and 30% of the interview score. The interview is based on provided materials and lasts six minutes, with the minimum CSAT score requirement applied.
