Yonsei Application

  • The Yonsei Application was sent to me a while later, but it was relatively easy

Items Required:

  • Official E-transcript​​

    • You can order it online and have it sent to you the same day​

    • For Undergraduate students, must show two (2) semesters’ GPA BEFORE the nomination / application period on their official transcripts. 

      • note ~ i didn't fulfill this requirement but you can find a way around it, just email Yonsei's OIA office to figure something out (they usually answer within 2 days)​

  • ID Photo

    • 4.5 cm x 3.5 cm

    • There are very specific requirements, but they give you a guide to follow

  • Passport Information

    • Similar to what was required for MIX​

    • Passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the beginning of the semester.

  • Proof of Funding/Financial Statement

    •  An official Bank Account Balance Statement in the student’s name

    • In case the bank statement is issued under a parent’s name, a document must be attached to verify the relationship (i.e. birth certificate)

    • The balance must be at least 5,000 USD for one-semester exchange or 12,000 USD for one-year exchange.​

  • Health Insurance

    • You may skip this document for now, but please upload the insurance document under the "Personal information" tab after application closes. The deadline for uploading the insurance document is January 15 for spring admission and July 15 for fall admission.​

  • Study Plan

    • ​A separate word document with 4 short answer questions.​
    • Consists of your purpose, major, self introduction, and educational background.

Dormitory Application

A week or so after receiving the acceptance letter, they sent information about the dormitory application.
There are two dormitory options, SK Global and International House. International House is for women only and they have communal bathrooms. I would recommend choosing SK Global if you want privacy.

These are the prices and comparison between the two​





 

The application

  • The application consisted of:

    • Personal information (address, mobile phone, emergency contact)​

    • 1st and 2nd choice dorm

      • The 2nd choice really doesn't matter, people say they only look at your first choice​

    • Questions about your lifestyle (when you sleep, cleanliness, etc.)

I chose a single room since I like having privacy but there are instructions to requesting a roommate.

Tips n Tricks

  • The dorms are first-come first-served and highly competitive so if you really have a preference, you need to really be on it

  • Pay attention to the time-zones because 10am in Korea is 3pm here in Hawaii

  • They give you a guide on what the application process is like, just take a look through it so you know what you need to fill out once it opens

    • Not all fields in the application were required to fill out ​

  • Doesn't hurt to do your own research​

    • I watched random youtube videos to see what other people's application experiences were like
