Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) operates the ‘Gwangjin-gu College Admission Counseling Center,’ which provides one-on-one customized consulting for students in Gwangjin-gu.

As a result of last year’s college admission consulting program, about 93% of participating students responded that they were satisfied, with many positive comments such as “It was very helpful for actual college preparation” and “I hope there are more opportunities for such counseling.”

Accordingly, the district will expand counseling opportunities by operating the ‘Gwangjin-gu College Admission Counseling Center,’ which was previously run temporarily during the admission season, on a year-round basis.

The ‘Gwangjin-gu College Admission Counseling Center’ operates both online and offline to systematically prepare students according to their various situations and needs, from career exploration to college admission strategies. It provides personalized counseling through consultations with admission experts as well as mentoring by university students.

Offline counseling is conducted one-on-one by college admission specialists and consists of ▲career aptitude tests ▲student record analysis and management ▲early and regular admission strategies ▲interview and essay coaching.

Eligible participants include high school students and repeaters residing in Gwangjin-gu or attending high schools in the area. Each session lasts 50 minutes, with one session per month and up to three sessions per year available for application.

Counseling is held face-to-face every Friday and Saturday at the Gwangjin-gu College Admission Counseling Center located at 131 Jayang-ro, with 40 participants accepted on a first-come, first-served basis each month. Applications can be made through the Gwangjin-gu Office website starting from the 1st of each month.

Additionally, an online one-on-one university student mentoring program is available for students who find it difficult to visit in person. This program allows middle and high school students to select their preferred university student mentor and receive counseling online. Based on the mentors’ actual admission experiences, practical advice and information are provided on ▲study methods ▲student record management tips ▲major selection, and more.

Mentoring sessions last 35 minutes each, with one session per month and up to three sessions per year. Thirty participants are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis each month, with high school students given priority if applications exceed capacity. Applications are accepted through the Gwangjin-gu Office website starting from the 1st of each month.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “We hope this program will provide practical help to students who are struggling to set their career and college admission directions amid the rapidly changing admission environment,” and added, “We will continue to promote various programs to support students’ successful college admission and career planning.”
