Trends by Admission Type
Rolling Admissions
2026 Rolling Admissions school record-focused recruitment increased by 3,648
For the 2026 academic year, 85.9% of total spots are filled through school record-focused recruitment. This is an increase of 3,648 spots compared to the previous year, with an additional 1,293 spots in essay-focused recruitment. School record subject-focused recruitment remains the backbone of rolling admissions.
Regular Admissions
2026 Regular Admissions 92.2% CSAT-focused, up to 3 applications allowed
92.2% of regular admission spots are filled through CSAT-focused recruitment. Students can apply up to 3 times (once each for Group Ga, Na, and Da), which differs from the 6-application limit in rolling admissions. It is essential to check the CSAT weighting and conversion scores for each university in advance.
[Post-2026 Regular Admissions] Seoul area 'slows', Gyeonggi/Non-capital areas 'advance'
In the 2026 regular admissions, due to the high difficulty of the CSAT, strategic judgment based on the possibility of acceptance took priority, limiting high-risk applications. As the support process became more segmented and dispersed, regional movement became more active rather than a concentration on specific universities. The rise in competition in non-capital area universities is directly impacting acceptance cut-offs.

Analysis & Outlook
Recovery in preference for STEM talent… Competition for gifted education in the AI era intensifies
Taken together, the trends in gifted school, science high school, and medical school interviews show that competition for top-tier talent in AI and STEM is intensifying. The rising competition for Gyeonggi Science High, the expansion to 22 science high schools, and the new AI track at Chungbuk Science High all point in the same direction. Simultaneously, the focus of medical school interviews on AI ethics and deep research reflects the demand for future-ready skills (ethics, integrated thinking) in the medical field.
2026~2027 Admissions, preparation for medical ethics and research deepening is essential
Changes in medical school admissions signal the need for preparation starting in high school. Medical ethics, the relationship between social issues and science, and the quality of research activity records are becoming core areas of preparation for this year's admissions.
