The Korean education system is gaining fast renown for having a difficult yet thorough curriculum. And there are both public and private universities which offer different types of courses. There are courses from Architecture to Engineering, Arts, Literature, Medicine, Linguistics, Maths, etc. The average tuition fees for a Korean university is about $4k-$5k USD per annum and the living expense for an international student is about $6k USD per annum. So, it is affordable for international students who want to study there. There are also many scholarships available. Some provided by universities and some by organizations. If you have a D-2 or D-4 visa then you are allowed to work part-time there. 20 hours for undergraduate and 30 hours for postgraduate students. But this can change depending upon the university you are applying for. Sungkyunkwan University, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Hanyang University, etc. are some of the most famous universities in Korea.

Holding an extra I 20 basically means holding another students seat
I would suggest you pick one college as soon as possible, and tell the other you won't be joining

Hi Reena,
The university will most likely prompt you about the interview well in advance. However, I have also heard that sometimes, you only get 2 days to prepare.
There are a few common types of interviews universities take-

A recorded video interview - you will receive a pre-recorded set of questions on your screen, and you'll be allowed to take some seconds to prepare before answering each question Informal QnA sessions - several students will be called at the same time, and the mediator will judge you based on your preparedness, presentation, and communication skills One on one - this is the regular kind of interview that gets conducted over a telephone or Skype Some universities also conduct group sessions and case studies as part of their interview process

The majority of questions universities ask are these -

Tell me something about yourself Why did you pick this course Where do you see yourself 3-5 years down the line What are your strengths What are your weaknesses Share a challenge you faced and how you solved it Why should we pick you over other students/What is unique about you What are your favorite subjects Why our university What will you do if we reject you
If anything more comes to my mind, I'll add it
Cheers

First, you'll have to scan each sheet.
If your printer allows you to combine these scans into a single folder, do that.
If not, you can combine all of these scans into a single file using an online tool.
There are many options available for this - Merge PDF, iLovePDF, and more.
Make sure the end file is a PDF document.
Then upload it to your application!

There are 2 options-

Approach your college registrar
They can directly mail your transcripts to the university for you (you might be asked to fill a form by your college for this) Mail it yourself
Make sure your transcripts are sealed and signed/stamped by your university
And mention the name of your college in the From section of your mail

Official transcripts are signed and/or stamped and sealed in an envelope by your college
Unofficial transcripts are not sealed

I suggest you contact your college and inform them about this
They should be able to provide you with an alternative document for this

At the end of your interview
Wait for them to ask "Do you have any questions?"
If they don't ask, put forth your doubts yourself

The minimum GPA should be 3.0 out of 4.0. Depending on the subject area, your GRE or GMAT scores will also be required. Apart from that, universities also ask students to submit –

Transcripts
Statement of Purpose
Letters of Recommendation
CV
Proof of language proficiency
Portfolio (for subjects like fine arts, architecture, etc.)

You can pick a university and a course
Once you're done with that, you will find on the program page if they give application fee waivers
If yes, see the conditions based on which they give a waiver
If you qualify, apply for it!

The earlier your start, the better
So, start about 8-12 months in advance, depending on if you have already taken the standard tests like GRE/GMAT, TOEFL or IELTS

Check that on the university course website and the admissions website also
If they say they want you to mail it, only then do that
Otherwise, they ask for transcripts only after you get an admit

It's not just the Ivy League schools
Colleges like Syracuse also do it
It depends from one program to another
Better to be prepared

Sure. You don't lose anything by trying.
Maybe some time
But I should warn you
Mostly, you'll not get a helpful reply
