Hi I was wondering if anyone has/will go to a university in Korea as an undergraduate student? If so, what are some decent schools that is worth applying to and are there any schools that are still accepting applications? Thanks

hahah good luck for the process! wayy harder than in america lol

unless you're a study freak ( blush.gif ) Seoul National Uni wouldn't be a good idea, but its only my opinion!

Yonsei, Korea university...these 3 are the "ivy" league so they totally worth applying to haha

wonder too if they still accept appli? for next year maybe...?

as far as i know, it's a lot easier to get into the top Korean schools if you're from America. I hear if you get an acceptance letter to UW or UCI then Yonsei will accept you because they have some agreement like that. Good luck!

oups sorry I was talking about the application process. I remember I looked up...you need transcripts from all your schools and so many things ahha
some korean uni have english pages on their websites for int. students, you should look it up!

but remember that most of the Koreans (native) come as inter. student because it is easier to get a job there if you studied abroad (mostly americas, england). Depending on the subject studied it is often a better decision to study in america and go study in korea for a year or so!
but obviously the whole process is easier if you actually speak korean. But don't forget that the Korean you learned with your parents may differ greatly from academic korean! 0_O

good luck heeh!
