Konkuk University 2026 Regular Admissions: Veterinary Medicine Tops the Chart

The 70% cutoff average for the College of Veterinary Medicine was 96.33 (in combined percentile for Korean, Math, and Inquiry subjects), significantly outperforming engineering fields like Mechanical, Robotics, Automotive, and Electrical/Electronic Engineering. This is an increase of 0.83 compared to the previous year (95.5).

Analysis and Outlook
Intense Competition in Medical Fields: "Top-Tier Concentration"
The 96.33 cutoff at Konkuk University’s Veterinary Medicine program directly reflects the policy of restoring medical school quotas. With more slots in medical and pharmaceutical fields, yet continued high demand, competition among top-tier students is expected to remain fierce.
CSAT Preparation: A "Month Earlier"
Since the CSAT is being held on November 13, one day earlier than usual, students need to adjust their schedules accordingly. The earlier score announcement (December 5) shortens the preparation period for regular admission applications.
Additional Recruitment Strategy: Know the "Diversity of Selection Methods"
Unlike regular admissions, additional recruitment criteria vary significantly by school. Do not assume it is only based on CSAT scores; it is essential to check individual university requirements, including academic or comprehensive record screenings.
