I just recently got to know of Underwood International College(UIC). Studying the courses entirely in English at one of Korea's most prestigious universities sounds very attractive. But I would like to ask if Underwood International College have the same level of reputation as Yonsei University? Has anyone recently graduated from UIC? Or is anyone currently studying there? Do they put it as Underwood International College or Yonsei University Underwood International College on the certificate of graduation? And is it very competitive to get into UIC?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! ^^

I'm applying there hopefully to matriculate next spring so I'd like these questions answered too...the school's website has 'Yonsei University Underwood International College' as its heading so I think it's all classed as Yonsei..

It's like big fish in a small pond. Yonsei is a great school, one of the best in Korea, but compared to colleges in the U.S., it just can't compete. I think someone told me that Yonsei isn't even as good as the good UC schools (UCB, UCLA, UCSD).

Thanks! Yeah, no doubt UC is better, but I guess Yonsei is the next best choice after UC because I'm from Asia, so Yonsei will be closer to home than the US. Plus, the fees at the UC schools are pretty steep for a foreigner like me. Is there great competition to get into Underwood International College? Like, what are the minimium requirements to qualify?

Any input will be greatly appreciated!
