Until the previous admissions, the comprehensive student record screening had separate Sookmyung Talent Interview and Document Review tracks, but from the 2025 academic year, they have been integrated into the Interview Type. All humanities and natural sciences divisions will be selected. In the first stage, three times the number of candidates per division are selected based on 100% document review, and in the second stage, the final selection is made with 60% of the first stage score and 40% of the interview score. Since the comprehensive student record screening uses the school life record as evaluation material, it is advantageous for students who have sincerely and diligently engaged in school life to apply.


The comprehensive student record Software Talent Track is a newly established track that selects students from the natural sciences divisions of the Department of Artificial Intelligence Engineering, Computer Science Major, and Data Science Major. The selection process proceeds in the same stepwise manner as the Sookmyung Talent Interview Type. There is no minimum CSAT (College Scholastic Ability Test) requirement.


The student record screening (Regional Balanced Selection) track is open to students who have attended a domestic high school for more than five semesters and have student record grades for more than five semesters, and who apply with a recommendation from their high school principal. Academic grades are reflected 100%. There is no limit on the number of recommendations. However, if there are school violence disciplinary records in the student record, recommendation is restricted. The minimum CSAT requirement applies to humanities and natural sciences (excluding the College of Pharmacy) as a total of 5 or less in two of four subjects, with one subject reflected if inquiry is selected. For the College of Pharmacy, the minimum CSAT requirement is a total of 5 or less in three of four subjects, with one subject reflected if inquiry is selected (mathematics must be included).
