I’m 13 and studying abroad is my dream, and especially Korea. I LOVE the culture, the beautiful city, and I really want to learn the language. I will watch so many videos about this

“You’re gonna have to talk to a lot of people” 😳

Thank you so much! Because of your video, I decided to not apply for the undergraduate program after my senior year of high school. There’s just way too much money involved in this process 😅 Since I’m determined to get a master degree, I’ll just go there for graduate school instead! Once again, thank you💕

Watching this made my head hurt.. the amount of effort you gotta do to apply😭 I need to start getting ready to apply I’m a senior now😫

Hi my age is 15.I have set my goals and wrote my Universities as UG at Yonsei and PG at Waseda unuversity. But after hearing it i am already ready for the competition. I love some stress. Thank you sis. 🥰👍🙏

i am not a us resident and i dont know how the process gonna work in my country. the process sounded so stressful and im kinda loosing hope now but still gonna try >_< well thanku for this information. u saved my day

You are actually so sweet

Thanks slot for your detailed Material One cannot be proficient in Korean with out parents help (if he she is at least half Korean) So there are 6 levels of topik Korean language Say, one is able to finish a level (or two max) What's left is 4 pure stages that act as, a communication Gap, between an English speaker and natives Hence, Korean seems to be unavoidable as the interaction (and understanding) is necessary I have a question, to anyone out there for a yonsei or Korea university specific Q. 1. Can I go first, as a language student, with Master's with an end goal? The first is to cover the 4 more advanced levels of Korean (so I could understand lectures, speaking, and reading material) 2. If I began my journey as a language students , how Smooth is the Transition between Visas? I. E. Are there guarantees that the university would accept me later? (or does the University maybe accept my application apriori , then agrees I study for a year of K language ?) It's about the concerns about visa strength for a Language student versus one for Master's Sorry for post being long. And thanks forwards, Kind Stranger

i love Yonsei my dream university

I want to study at yonsei as an international student and the application process seems very overwhelminggg im just wondering what stuff you wrote for ur personal statement??

Im 18 and yonshi university is my dream to go to and im glad i found this video because i tried doing it but i was confused it me 5-10 mins to find the application

i really wanna go to a korean uni! thanks

I’m applying next year for 2022

Omg... I’m preparing my application and I’m DYING! I applied online (why is a windows computer needed though.......) and now I’m trying to get all my documents and TRANSLATE them + verify them or whatever (I live in Switzerland so most of them are in French). Did you handwrite every form though?? Like not only your essay but the rest, such as the recommendation letter from a teacher etc or must that be done in a computer? I’m freaking out lol but your videos are soooo helpful! Thank you for having taken the time to put these online 💛

I've already applied and I'm still not done with sending documents, cause they require more documents because of that authentification thing bruh. This whole process really is super expensive. But I guess that's a good sign they require more since they are probably considering to admit me. Watching stuff like this to cope with anxiety haha and in hope that I didn't miss something. Uhh, thank you so much! Just knowing that I'm not alone in it and that someone supports me warms my heart))

im still a Junior in High school yet i already feel the need to study for admission

this is so helpful!!! im actually planning to attend fall 2020 or spring 2021 in Yonsei as well 😭😭 the application's still ongoing but i only have a month left and the lockdown isnt making anything easier!!! do u think i have enough time to send it in before June 4? i've filled out the online application but i havent paid lol 😂

theres so many class of 21' in these comments it makes me excited !! im also a senior intending on going to yonsei for my undergad to study medicine but it seems that all international students must complete a year of KLI before entering their intended major. just wondering if this is true :)

Hey! I loved you video! Very informative! I have a question though, do my parents passport, etc have to be American? My parents and immigrants

hey Katie! does yonsei look at all four years of high school or is it just a formality? I really haven't done well in my junior year, so will that hinder my chances? love your videos!

im not from america and im sooo scared now when hear what you had to go throug!

2 1/2 more years !!!

Hi! Do you know anything about if ACT/SAT scores are optional for Yonsei since a lot of seniors won't be able to take it due to COVID?

Hi I'm planning to apply to Yonsei in 2021 but I'm kind of confused on what documents I needed to get authenticated by the notary? Also I really love your videos especially those about EXO because I'm an EXO-L too!

Hello! Im really sorry for asking a question, since you have a lot of questions asking you stuff already, but it would mean a lot if you answer 🥺 sorry again! I actually wanted to ask if the Masters degree in Media communication is taught in English too? Do we have to submit Topik exam scores compulsory? Or just English test proficiency (TOEFL, IELTS) is fine?

I got 3 years left of highschool so i gotta prepare myself 😫 i know it'll be worth it though

Crying cos this is too much for my little brain

Hello! Just wanna know something: did you get the kgsp scholarship or we have to apply differently for it?? I'm really confused with this university track system for the scholarship 😅 really hope you reply to this😭

Hii luv i have 2 questions for you (if you don’t mind answering them) 1. How much would you say applying to yonsei costed you, including admission fees notarizing and getting an apostille stamp on all of the documents? 2. Since im gonna be applying to more korean universities, is it okay if I notarize and apostille the original document en send each of the university a copy or does it have to be the original Thank you in advance for reading my questions ❤️

I am a parent and my son applied to Yonsei as well as to UIC. He got accepted to Yonsei for Fall 2021 and was set for an interview with UIC next week. Curious on how the travel situations for Korea..is the school back to the school house or still on line? BTW, congratulation on your acceptance last year.

Hi! I’m from Ireland and I’ve been googling about these transcripts all day but I don’t think we do them here. Would Yonsei accept exam certificates? Or is there any replacement for them? :)

Thanks for this katie! Do you know the difference for international students attending regular college at Yonsei and the Underwood International College? What made you choose the regular college instead of UIC?

Hi im back lol, I’m going to start applying soon and I am so nervous

im in my year 12 now ang planning to apply for fall 2021, im just confused if they have medicine course.

the GKS is good but I was too late on most scholarships. I got the YIS scholarship for low income which is small scholarship for grad school. I wish I got fully funded scholarship, stipend, allowance, fee waiver, flight

When apply (Ex. Say I apply to the UIC program) and I want to do the KLI program too, don’t I have to apply to both or do you wait to apply for the KLI program until after you get accepted?

Im 15 and next year (16) is my last year in highschool which is crazy my 2 choices is bunka university in japan or yonsei university in korea. I wanted to go to china but the acceptance rate 🤡🤡 im not that confident at all

Do you think it’s too late to start an application right now?Its already the beginning of May but I really want to study at YONSEI🥺

This video is very helpful! . Btw i’m from Malaysia, and this university is my dream university. Do you think SAT/ACT actually helps your acceptance rate?

Hii there do they have any undergraduate degree in English for fashion designing /apparel course?

hi ! i have a question about bank statement like what amount do you have to show in your account when ur applying ? (minimum) i hardly find the information for full time student bc everyone only talk about exchange student so it doesn't help me at all :((

Hi Katie. I really liked this video. I'm in grade 10. I'll be graduating in 2022. I wanted to know what time will be good to start preparing my documents for application because the process seems kind of stressful

hello! im currently a student from the ph 11th grade incoming 12th grade, here in the ph i don't think we have the equivalent of csat/sat herre :( do u think i can still apply for yonsei?

Hey. I wanted to know whether you need to know Korean before applying to Pre-medicine in Yonsei.

Did your teacher fill out the boxes or did you just attach the letter of rec without using Yonsei's official form

Hii I am wondering when the notary came to your school, do you have to sign anything or just the teacher who have to sign it? Because I used be exchange in the state but right now I’m already back in my country so I cannot be there :(

when you sent your reporting on SAT score, did you inform the Office of Admissions through email or something else?(like asking the agency where you took the test to sent the test report form for you or you just reported your name, test date and stuffs then Yonsei can check it themselves??) And you did it after all the documents arrived at Yonsei or during that time? Can you give me more details on this? Thank you so much!!

Girl you are army like us 😅💜💜

Did you have any topik level? Which course did you apply

Thank you sm! I am also from California :)) I am also an overseas Korean so my application process is super similar and I will continue to reference this video for help. Also just to clarify, you started applying in the beginning of 2020? That would mean I will have to wait until 2021 to apply? (I am class of '21)

Hey there ! I wanted to ask that does yonsei have undergraduate college of medicine because I couldn't find it on the website. Please help me with this 🙏

hi another question because I can't really find the answer on their website but maybe you know if you have to know a bid Korean to study their or if you can start from the beginning while taking courses in Englisch

now there's no financial difficulty section for spring 2022 :

Hi, I'm gonna complete my high school soon and ur video is making more determined towards my goal but I also wanna know abt all the scholarship system. I mean which exam do we need to give or all the process. Pls reply☺

Hii! Can you just tell me when should I start with my application process if I want to join for fall semester (sept 2022).

I'm planning on applying at yonsei too but I'm not able to find much information about psychology department.. Do they provide masters course in English or do I have to get certain level of topik

so if i’m applying for the fall of 2021 when do i submit my application?

Hey! Soz for the questions but I’m planning to take their undergraduate programme. While my grades aren’t that good, (oof) do you think having good TOPIK and IELTS scores would help me out? (Before taking the undergraduate programme I’m planning to take a Korean Language programme) Ty in advance

So I have another question.. I’m so sorry🥺! But, Do you get the documents notarized after getting accepted?

What grades do you need to get in Yonsei or we have to do faculties up to yonsei?

Can anyone tell me how to convert your percentage and CGPA to GPA. I am really confused even after researching alot. Some say above 75% is 3 GPA and some say above 90% is 3GPA. I am trying to figure out what my GPA is as i got 74.8% in high school(i.e.12th std) and 9.6 CGPA in junior high school(i.e.10th std). Please help me out through this.

Hi there! I would like to ask for international students who would like to apply to Yonsei University, does the university require your SAT scores? Do they mind only a highschool diploma only?

Am I the only one that can’t find the application guide in English? I can only find a version with all korean instructions, but then a few pages of English! ☹️

hello !! i have a doubt i am from india and i m in my last year of high school i.e. i would have my finals in march n results will be out around of april so would i have to apply for fall smester ?? n moreover just in case cant we apply before our results so that we can know whether they have accepted us or not otherwise if we apply for semester after our results and they didnt accept us we would miss out our colleges in india too !!🙄🙄

Sorry to bother you again but I have another question. So I’m planning on apply to yonsei for the 2nd round that’s in October. And I was trying to look up some of the stuff that I would need so I can start getting it prepared and I was wondering, Would we already need to have a passport in order to apply? Or can we get it afterwards.

Hi im currently doing 12th an j will be passing out in march/april according to the covid situations, so for fall 2021 admissions do i strt applying from now only or do i wait till i get results?

at 5:15 in the Video, you said that there are different colleges and when I would choose the same as you, so the normal college, can i also study it in English? bc i cant speak Korean

Hello katie ✋🏻 can you please tell me whether there's music course ? (BA Music ) ??

when i click on the "undergraduate" part i cant see the same page as you. i mean there is a bunch of korean stuff and nothing about application. what do i do? :((

This year, I think recommendation letters and personal statement is unnecessary

what about being a british student how would this work? I am so confused do i pick a uni in my country and then go or apply for yonsei? i am 15 and really wanna study their when i am old enough sooooooo xD ( and its not cause i like kpop i love korean culture and think it would be a great experience and i really wann live their as well :33 )

I want to apply for makeup courses at yonsei but have no idea is there anyone who can guide me

Do you need a home uni to go to yonsei As a senior in hs?

Hi just wanna know how did you apply in university track? In there website ? And what form did you pass the one in admission of the university or the kgsp form? Hope you respond pleaseeeee

hey! i just had a question!! like how the letter of rec is supposed to be sent by the teacher did you get it back from them and then get an apostille?? did you end up sending just one mail?

hello! i have korean language certificates as supplementary documents, do i need to get that authenticated? or just my college results and graduation certificates?

can you tell me what you were like in highschool- like were you at the top of ur class or did you do a lot outside of school?

Hey Katie! I know that this was a few years back; but I had a question about Yonsei University. When did you get an email notice about having an interview?

Question if I want to go to Korea this year for a program, do I have to go there before 14 days so I finish my quarantine days? , or what I am confused.
