What are my chances for getting accepted into Yonsei University in Korea?

Good Evening,

I am currently a high school senior in the US. My plans are to apply to Yonsei University as a medical student. Here are some of my stats:

  • 1270 on SAT
  • I plan on taking ACT since I am better at math and science
  • My Gpa is 3.8/4.0
  • I am ranked ~70/550
  • I have played tennis for school for 5 years so far
  • I am in 4 academic clubs and participate in multiple volunteering events

I hope that I can get some feedback and possibly on information about how the medical program in Korea works. I am aiming to become an anesthesiologist. I graduate May 2021, so I have a decent amount of time to prepare and to get better at my Korean ( I can already read and write, I just need to add more vocabulary). And if you could, can you also include my chances of getting into SNU or KU?

With Thanks.

Hii, hopefully I’m not too late, but I’m also applying to Yonsei! I have similar statistics to you, the only difference I go to an IB school. From what I’ve read, we both have a relatively good chance at getting in! I believe the acceptance rate for foreigners is around 25% to 40% and we have the average statistics from among those that have been admitted. Idk what round you applied for, but I applied for the 2nd round. If you applied for 1st round, I hope your interview went well, and I think you would’ve gotten your acceptance already, lmk!! If not, good luck on your interview. I hope to see you there :))
