Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education, 2025 Medical School Early Admission 'Interview Support'

The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education's Career and College Admission Counseling Center announced on the 22nd that it has started providing interview support for students applying early admission in response to the expansion of medical school quotas in 2025.

This program is conducted in the form of practical mock interviews to prepare for multiple mini-interviews at the Mokpo, Suncheon, Naju, and Gwangyang Career and College Admission Counseling Centers, targeting about 60 students in Jeonnam who wish to apply early admission to medical schools.

The multiple mini-interview is a format gaining attention in medical school interviews, where applicants move through several interview rooms, are presented with various scenarios, and respond accordingly.

The types of questions and interview durations vary by university, and the process is structured to evaluate empathy, communication skills, consideration, and reliability rather than academic ability. The Career and College Admission Counseling Center plans to operate multiple mini mock interviews again in September and November.

Kim Eun-seop, Director of Career Education, said, “We hope this will be a valuable experience for students applying to medical schools to experience real interview situations in advance, in line with the changing admissions due to the expansion of medical school quotas. We will continue to strive to provide customized college admission support according to student demand.”
