I’m a korean who’s never lived in korea; I came out when I was 6 months old. I’m applying to seoul National University for computer science/engineering. Naturally, I’ve been asking around about the admission process and the requirements for international students applying there. I was wondering if there are any students out there with advice on how they got in or any students who are still applying. I recently found out extracurricular activities don’t have much weight in the admission process in Korean colleges and that most of the weight is in the numbers. Is there anyone who could give me a basic gist on how high my GPA and SAT score should be?
bump bump… someone, anyone, please help me before I become a second semester senior!

I’m not sure if this helps much, but there’s a PDF titled ‘Admissions Guide for International Students, Spring 2015’.
Considering that SNU is one of the most competitive universities in Korea (and considering your major too; I would assume that engineering majors would be more competitive than others), I would say that your SAT should be above 2200 and GPA close to 3.9~4.0
BUT note that I know basically nothing about Korean universities’ admission process
best of luck,
The decisions are coming out this thursaday
Did you get in? If so, what scores did you have?
