Key Education Policies and Admissions Updates
1. Sejong University Hosts 2026 High School-University Admissions Workshop
Sejong University recently held its "2026 High School Education-Admissions Value-Sharing Workshop" to strengthen the connection between secondary education and university admission processes. The event facilitated communication between high school teachers and university admissions officers to improve understanding of the system and better support students' college entry preparation.
2. Sungkyul University Releases 2027 Early Admissions Info
Ahead of the 2027 early admissions cycle, Sungkyul University is providing guidance under the theme "The Power to Design Your Future." The university is helping students strategize by offering detailed information on various selection methods, including the Comprehensive Student Record screening and the Grade-based screening.
3. 2027 Early/Regular Admissions Strategy Seminar Held
Jongro Academy in Gangnam, Seoul, recently hosted a "Special Seminar on 2027 Early and Regular Admissions Strategy" for parents and students. The seminar emphasized the critical importance of preparing for both admissions paths.
Admissions Strategy and Analysis
1. Over 60% of Early Admission Applicants Also Prepare for Regular Admissions
Recent data shows that 6 out of 10 early admission applicants are also mapping out a path to regular admissions. Although the rate for graduates and those with high school equivalency diplomas was 60.2%—slightly lower than current students—more than half are still opting for a dual-track approach. This highlights the necessity of preparing for regular admissions, as early acceptance is never guaranteed.
2. Trend Toward Reduced Regular Admissions for 2026
For the 2026 academic year, 69,331 students will be selected through regular admissions, accounting for 20.1% of the 345,179 total spots at four-year universities. This is a slight decrease compared to the 2025 academic year, where regular admissions made up 20.4% of total spots (340,934).
3. Attention Needed for 2026 CSAT Minimum Requirements
Admissions experts, including Jinhaksa, advise students to carefully check the CSAT minimum requirements for each university, as these may have changed. Relying solely on past admissions data is insufficient; students must verify the specific 2026 recruitment guidelines for each institution.
