The Gyeongnam Office of Education will provide customized college admission counseling for high school seniors and their parents for the 2025 academic year admissions.


According to the provincial Office of Education, the customized counseling will be held at the Gyeongnam College Admission Information Center from the 25th to the 29th of this month, and at the Seobu College Admission Information Center from the 27th to the 29th.


Counseling sessions will be available from 4:40 PM to 9:00 PM, with each student and parent receiving a 40-minute individual consultation, targeting 170 participants.


The counseling will be conducted by a university admission expert committee composed of local admission specialist teachers and counselors from the Gyeongnam and Seobu College Admission Information Centers, focusing on the characteristics of college admission processes and customized preparation methods.


The counseling topics include ▲ customized application strategies for each university the student is applying to ▲ detailed preparation for college admission during the first semester of senior year ▲ effective school life management methods ▲ how to utilize the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) for early and regular admission applications.


Guidance will also be provided on how to manage the remaining school life amid the abolition of self-introduction letters and the expansion of non-reflective areas in school records for college admissions, which have made preparing for comprehensive student record screening more challenging.

Applications for counseling can be made on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 10:00 AM on the 18th via the Gyeongnam College Admission Information Center website.


Those without a member account must first sign up, then apply individually for students and parents by clicking the application button in the event application menu.


This counseling is designed to address questions about the 2025 college admission process and to alleviate the anxiety of high school seniors and their parents who face an unusually unstable admission environment due to factors such as the expansion of non-major selection, discussions on increasing medical school quotas, and the rise in repeat test-takers (N-su students) taking the CSAT multiple times.


The provincial Office of Education expects that, with the participation of experienced field teachers in admission guidance, students will be greatly helped in confidently preparing for the new semester.



Kim Kyung-gyu, Director of Career Education, said, “We hope this counseling will serve as a guide for students and parents struggling with college admission preparation at the beginning of their senior year, helping to resolve their concerns and enabling them to start the new semester confidently by establishing personalized admission preparation strategies early in the semester.”
