The "On-site High School Counseling" program, now in its fourth year since 2022, offers high schools in the Gyeongbuk region an in-depth opportunity to understand the admissions process of Seoul National University, while providing Seoul National University with a chance to directly experience the educational conditions and realities of local high schools. Notably, this year, interest and enthusiasm from the field were so high that registration closed within just one minute of opening.

A total of 24 high schools from the Gyeongbuk region are participating in the counseling sessions. Each session involves one admissions officer from Seoul National University and five representatives from each high school, conducting one-on-one, customized, in-depth counseling. Each school is allotted 40 minutes, during which two-way information exchange takes place, focusing on the university's admissions process and student selection results, the educational environment of each school, and the characteristics of their students.

In addition, from 9 p.m. on May 22, a meeting will be held between the admissions officers of Seoul National University and officials from the Gyeongbuk Office of Education to engage in in-depth discussions on ways to bridge educational gaps between regions and enhance the college admissions competitiveness of Gyeongbuk students.

Lim Jong-sik, Superintendent of the Gyeongbuk Office of Education, stated, "This program is a meaningful occasion where local high schools and Seoul National University can meet and communicate directly based on mutual understanding," and added, "We will continue to expand practical support for college admissions and opportunities to provide information to local high schools by building connections with various universities in the future."
