I am interviewing for CAU for gks 2023 this week and this video is a god sent. its the only university which has reached out to me and i wondered how the application process was, thanks for sharing
Hi )) could you please tell how old are you? Because I'm also going to apply for masters degree next year and I saw some information says there is age limit of 25:( I am 24 now
Thank you so much for this. Im just finding out about the GKS scholarship programs today and i was making researches and found your video. I will attempt the scholarship although i don't know much about it but i will make my researches
Hi Virginia! It's me again haha! Not sure if you remember but I commented on one of your videos previously! I got shortlisted for the embassy interview, but unfortunately did not manage to pass the interview evaluations because I messed up haha. Now I'm applying for the University track to my number one choice, and this video is really helpful (again!!) So thank you so much! Really hoping for the best now but at the same time, I don't want to have too high of an expectation considering I already failed once TT
Awe I'm sorry about the embassy track but I hope the university interview works out!! At least now you have some practice 😊 The whole process is so stressful for everyone so just try to not worry too much and do the best you can~
Hello! May I ask you why didn't you pass the interview (sorry if I'm being rude😅)? I'm going to apply for gks soon, so i would be happy for any information:D
I’m applying to sky w pretty good stats through embassy but the requirements are different now I’m trying for a PhD bc in 2024 I’ll be getting my masters. I’m going to change my focus from clinical therapy to marketing I hope it all works out
@@virginiasvoyage Excuse me please tell me suggestion . I am undergraduate student and I apply bachelor degree so which degree is best. Fashion Design degree scope I'm korea tell me please
Hi! I have not watched your video yet but I’m in Chungang and I’m applying to GKS again because I’m really not happy in Chungang 😂 So please don’t feel bad about it, Korea Uni is much better! ❤
Awe thank you so much for this comment ❤️ I guess everything happens for a reason haha I hope your GKS application goes well and you find a school that is a better fit! 💕
@@nurulaliah792 there are quite many reasons but MBA is fully in English and better organized than regular Business Adm master programs so dont worry about it. I took a few classes from them and I would be ok to be a regular there… less students, nicer faciliated classrooms and more comprehensive curriculum. The regular track is just for Chinese students who fail to enter universities in China and pay their way off to make the school rich 🥲 They don’t speak English at all, most of them don’t speak Korean either. They just memorize everything and pretend like they know. No critical thinking, no free discussion in the classes. And there are too many students that profs cant even help you with your final projects where you need to come up with your own idea and present, then they complain about your topic or research methods 🤡 also all materials are in English but every body speaks Korean during lecture so there is not even a source to learn the Korean vocabulary in the classes 🤡 and international office does not let international students in masters know about anything going on in the school…

Heyy Virginia! I'm planning to take an admission in SNU next year ( march application ) so I'm comfused about the GKS like can i apply for 2024 scholarship or should i wait till 2025?
just a quick question… if I wanna do the gks at Korea university can I only apply through the embassy or can I apply at Korea university directly too? I’m kinda confused which universities you can apply to directly
@Gayatri-iw9pl there's a list of universities that are type A and type B when you apply for GKS, and the type B ones are usually in smaller cities and not quite as prestigious as the type A ones (so usually easier to get accepted into)
Which universities of these I will have a good chance of acceptance But without topik and iltes just with an excellent academic record Kookmin Ajou Koyang KOREATECH Tech korea University Pusan national University I need an answer immediately please

Pls reply me
Hi and welcome! It all depends on your competition as you probably already know, but it's worth giving it a try! If your essays are really good and you do well during the interview, you might get it 😊
Hello! Do you or someone happens to know what are the chances of getting rejected in the Universities stage? I applied for GKS-U, and passed the NIIED step, so no I'm off to the Universities step, I applied to Yonsei and SNU.
Hi! It all depends on your competition~ since you applied to yonsei and SNU they might be quite competitive... but if you have a good resume you should have good chances!
@@virginiasvoyage Ok, thanks for the response! Another thing I didn't understand from the video: did you apply for undergraduate or graduate studies? The two 'type A' universities you mentioned were Chung-Ang and KU right? Did you get into KU without an interview? Just want to clarify that. 😁
@@virginiasvoyage Hey I did my 12th --2016 UG in BA --49% messed up during Corona (2018-2021) Second UG again in BA --75% (2021-2024) Will my first degree be taken as a gap if I apply for a master's through self-funding? Any idea how long the gap South Korea accepts? Not a gas applicant
@moonchild._._ hi~ I don't think having a gap makes a big difference! But I think the GPA requirement is 80% or above? So not sure about your BA requirement...
@virginia long did the professor tell you the exact time when you would be done the interview or did they give you a blanket time as they did for me.... its making me tense up if i am not even sure of the date and time....please coveting your reply
hey i would like to ask that is it possible to apply for gks more than one time? like if i apply for gks bachelors degree and gets rejected then can i apply after some years for masters degree? it would be so helpful to know it.
Yes there are actually many cases of people applying many times and eventually getting accepted~ if anything I think that's more common than getting accepted the first time 😂
Hello. Sooo i applied this year for gks university track and i applied for Yonsei Uni.. im done with the 1st round interview with Yonsei but im wondering if there is going to be more interviews or exam for the 2nd round with NIIED thank youuuu
Hi!! Since I applied via embassy track I'm not 100% sure, but I think for the 2nd round with NIIED you might not have to interview since you are a university track applicant~ You might be done for now~ Hope you get good results!

@virginiasvoyage I also didn't, and I failed all three universities.. I searched for my courses in all universities, I did research about the courses and labs in each university, and only one university contacted me for an interview. But, i did that interview dirty. I was blah-blah, I shouldve been more specific. I wonder why the other two didn't contact me, maybe it's my mistake for not reaching out to their professors or labs. But I think gks has become more competitive that, it has come to a state where they only select students with more than 90% marks or with topik 4 or 5. But, I will try next year, but, can you help like, what are the documents you submitted, internships, or training you did that you feel like it helped a lot during the evaluation.. can you make such videos??
@blinkteumeforeverstay4769 actually some universities, especially SKY, don't conduct interviews because they have too many applicants, so it probably wasn't your fault. I also only had one interview and it was the one university that ended up rejecting me lol I think if you watch the video about my personal statement it can be helpful! I didn't have any internships or any experience with media, so I think it was my experience in Korea and Topik that probably helped my application, but of course I'm not positive about that~
@virginiasvoyage awww thank you so much, I was wondering the same thing cuz, I applied to snu, yonsei, and chungnam ,but only chungnam invited me for an interview.. but they ended up rejecting me.. I actually have an internship which I did at Kyung Hee University when I was doing my undergrad. Plus I have many extracurricular, and I still failed. I feel like I have to have topik 4 or 5 this October to crack gks 2025. I subscribed to your channel and I will watch your videos to correct all my mistakes. Thank you💫😇
Hi everyone, i applied for English education at Korea university but i don’t know if they do interview or not. I applied personally and i meet the requirements, my ielts score is 7 and my gpa is 3.31 out of 4.00 so what do you think? Is there any chance to get admitted to university?
It will just depend on the competition but as long as you meet the requirements you definitely have a chance! If you're doing university track, there will probably be an interview...
@@virginiasvoyagehey can u help me out I hv 80/57/75/ and in mba --83% Can I apply with my mba percentage FOR MASTERS AGAIN from Korean uni Coz I can't apply for it using my ug degree I hv not 80% in my ug Pls reply me if u can
@moonchild._._ that's a really good question... you could definitely apply for PhD but I'm not sure about masters... maybe you can email niied and see what they say! They're usually helpful by email ^^
@@virginiasvoyage okay thanks for replying And 75% in my graduation and no work experience till now Do u think I have chance to be selected?? If I provide top 20% certificate to them niied?? And my university ranking is also not good Does this affect much
@moonchild._._ I don't think the university ranking should affect your chances and the work experience should also not be a problem. The 75% graduation might make it a little more difficult to be honest, but it all depends on who your competition is~
Hey, I also want to go for radio ,mass communication and journalism .can you suggest good Korean universities that provide these programmes for masters in this field. Is there any scope in this field in Korea .
I think Korea University is the most well known program and it also is the only one in Seoul that offers many classes in English! I'm not sure of the ranking of other universities, but it seems like most korean universities offer that major! But most seem to be only in Korean 😅
Hey pretty unnie 👋ur new subscriber here I'm currently studying in 12th i will have my boards next year so should I start preparing for gks from now onward or i should wait for 12th result then?? Also one more thing that when should we start making documents and visa in all after getting selection or before i mean what if i get rejected 🥲all my money will be wasted And how many interviews we have to give ???
Yay welcome!! I think you should start preparing now since it takes a while to get everything taken care of~ and then you can apply once you graduate 😊 unfortunately you have to pay for all of the documents in order to send your application to gks so there is a risk of wasting your money... 🥺 that's the downside of applying because it's not guaranteed that you'll get accepted 😢 and then the visa will be taken care of if you get accepted! Good luck with your application process!! Btw I did gks G so maybe my answers could be different from gks U? So double check the niied guidelines just in case 😊
i have two most important queries can you please tell 1.what's the difference between high school graduation certificate and marksheet ?are they same 2. if we are going to apply with embassy track so there would be 4 sets 1 original and 3 photocopies so in other 3 copies i will obviously mention three universities in each study plan separately and i wanna ask in the original set do we have to mention the name of all three universities or single one ?
1. I don't know much about gks undergraduate but I think the certificate is like your diploma and the marksheet is a list of your grades. 2. Actually the copies will all be exact copies as the original, so you need to write essays that can apply generally to all the universities instead of each 3 that you're applying to~
@mygoodluckcharmismyface1887 you need a total of 4 but they're all just exact copies, not different for each university. You write the names of the 3 universities on your application and the embassy will send it to them.
@mygoodluckcharmismyface1887 no the copies will be exactly the same, you don't have to change anything. You just print the same exact thing 4 times lol
@mygoodluckcharmismyface1887 oh no problem! So yeah they'll be the exact same, so if you're doing multiple majors you'll have to find a way to include both of them in your personal statement and study plan then~
@@virginiasvoyage thank you very much, and when should I start applying, also since I'm undergrad do I need to contact professors from computer science faculty too?
@@Lisalee-xj1xb you won't need to contact any professors since it's undergrad 🙂 and I'm not sure about the exact date, but since the application for this year's gksU just ended, you could check on the studyinkorea.go.kr website and see the dates~ that will give you an idea for how the timeline will be next year
Hi Virginia, thank you for helpful video🩷 I would like to ask you because I couldn’t find anything about it. Can I apply via embassy and university track at the same time?
Hi! You can apply to the embassy track first and then if you get rejected, you can apply to the university track. This is because the deadline for university track is usually after the deadline for embassy track. Unfortunately you can't apply to both at the same time
Is there something with chungang university, last year i also got interviewed by them and from the beginning they doesn’t seem interested and didn’t even asked me anything much and was in rush to end the interview. I haven’t got selected unfortunately.

Thank you so much Virginia.
Hello
I am new subscriber here thanks for such informative video
Actually i wanted to ask you that can i apply for gks u this year and i am confused as i want pursue medicine i got 84.6 percent in 12 th and i have IELTS band 7 and i might give topik 1 or 2 this year too
Mainly i wanted to ask you should I apply for GKS i think my Marks are too low ......
Pls reply me
Hi and welcome! It all depends on your competition as you probably already know, but it's worth giving it a try! If your essays are really good and you do well during the interview, you might get it 😊
@@virginiasvoyage thank you so much for your reply I will surely give It a try
Please how can I get in touch with you i want you to help on proofread my personal statement
@YusufAzeezat-f2p hi~ you can message me on Instagram!
Hello! Do you or someone happens to know what are the chances of getting rejected in the Universities stage? I applied for GKS-U, and passed the NIIED step, so no I'm off to the Universities step, I applied to Yonsei and SNU.
Hi! It all depends on your competition~ since you applied to yonsei and SNU they might be quite competitive... but if you have a good resume you should have good chances!
@@virginiasvoyage Ok, thanks for the response! Another thing I didn't understand from the video: did you apply for undergraduate or graduate studies? The two 'type A' universities you mentioned were Chung-Ang and KU right? Did you get into KU without an interview? Just want to clarify that. 😁
@universelt4113 ah yes, exactly as you said! I applied to the graduate program and got accepted to KU with no interview 😊
@@virginiasvoyage Hey
I did my 12th --2016
UG in BA --49% messed up during Corona (2018-2021)
Second UG again in BA --75%
(2021-2024)
Will my first degree be taken as a gap if I apply for a master's through self-funding?
Any idea how long the gap South Korea accepts?
Not a gas applicant
@moonchild._._ hi~ I don't think having a gap makes a big difference! But I think the GPA requirement is 80% or above? So not sure about your BA requirement...
Hi, may I how many days before your interview did the university inform you that you would have an interview?
It was about one week~
@@virginiasvoyage thanks you :)
@virginia long did the professor tell you the exact time when you would be done the interview or did they give you a blanket time as they did for me.... its making me tense up if i am not even sure of the date and time....please coveting your reply
@Faith they only told me when it would start but not when it would end... even thought they started late 😆 hope your interview goes well!
hey i would like to ask that is it possible to apply for gks more than one time? like if i apply for gks bachelors degree and gets rejected then can i apply after some years for masters degree? it would be so helpful to know it.
Yes there are actually many cases of people applying many times and eventually getting accepted~ if anything I think that's more common than getting accepted the first time 😂
thank you so much, yeah thats the case sometimes.@@virginiasvoyage
Can you help us to apply master GKS?
@@KompyuterQadam hopefully my videos will make the process easier for you!
Hello. Sooo i applied this year for gks university track and i applied for Yonsei Uni.. im done with the 1st round interview with Yonsei but im wondering if there is going to be more interviews or exam for the 2nd round with NIIED thank youuuu
Hi!! Since I applied via embassy track I'm not 100% sure, but I think for the 2nd round with NIIED you might not have to interview since you are a university track applicant~ You might be done for now~ Hope you get good results!
@@virginiasvoyage thank you so muchhhh!!! Im applied via GKS scholarship for Yonsei and i also tried via KOICA scholarship for SNU. So hopefullyyyy in a few months Ill be coming to S.Korea ❤️🩷❤️
@@virginiasvoyage ive been binge watching ur videos. Making me more excited. And i just want to give an update i received a message from Yonsei just few hours ago that I passed the 1st round for the University track 🥺🥺🥺 i hope i pass NIIED round tooooo ✨️ thank you againnn. Keep making videos plss
@KV R wow that's great news! Congrats! Hope the next round results are just as good 😊 Don't give up, you will make it to Korea and make fun memories too!! And thanks for your support, it means a lot!
@@kvr582 hey, if u don't mind. Can you guide me? I just want some scholars who can view my sop, not now but in August

Can you help me? Actually I am currently doing my masters (english) second year through distance programme. Will I be able to apply for gks masters programme? Because i want to change my major to mba or any other , to get a job .please anyone answer me can i again do my masters through gks? It is my dream to study in korea
Hi! You can, but you would need to start from the beginning again~
@@virginiasvoyage thank you for your response! I really appreciate your help 😊 So I need to do masters again from the beginning or ug from the beginning??
@@mistydiary masters from the beginning haha

Please i want to apply for master's program,which University is best for photgraphy
I'm not sure about that major... maybe you can look up rankings online and it will show you 😊
@@virginiasvoyage alright.. please can apply for the scholarship for masters degree because I will start my federal internship November this year to serve my country
@udamagift5923 yes you can apply for the scholarship as long as there are programs that you are interested in
@@virginiasvoyage please do I need an international passport for the application because I don't have it
@@udamagift5923 yes you'll need a passport for the application
Can you please tell that do we need to apostille both the side of voter id card or front only
It should be one apostille that covers both sides~
Hi i want to i apply without topik and any other english language test . Then do you think i will get the scholarship in one chance.
I think it will depend on who you're competing with in your country and school, but if the rest of your resume is good then maybe you have a chance!

Sorry I couldn’t focus on what you were saying, your cat is so adorable 😍😹🥰🥰🥰💗
Hehe thank you 🥹🥹
Is there any scope for vet master in gks?
Please reply i really want to know about it and work hard
I'm not sure about a vet masters, but you can check the list of programs on studyinkorea.go.kr
Which intake you was planning for? Did you got admitted to the university before applying gks?
I applied for the spring 2022 application (start classes in the fall) but I got admitted by the university at the same time as gks!
hello...can you please tell me how will i know if i will have an interview....like email or call something...
Hi~ Usually they will email you!
It is necessary to score 80% for applying gks scholarship? I got 65% , can i apply?
@lavenderhoney777 as far as I know you need 80% 😢
hi girl, is it allowed to take my cat with me if I gain the GKS???
It depends on where you will live. The dorms don't allow pets, but you could find an apartment that lets you have pets~
THANKS @@virginiasvoyage
@@virginiasvoyage are you allowed to have an apartment in your first year? or were you allowed because you were already proficient in Korean?
@@Obatalakali you're only allowed to have an apartment if you're not doing the language year~

Gks g 2023 guidline said applicant should have there orignal degree within 28 Feb but i will get my original degree in may.... So am I eligible for it?
You might want to ask GKS about that because it sounds like the rules changed... maybe try emailing someone about it?
@@virginiasvoyage ya I sent them emails but i didn't get the response from there side in case if you know something about gks g then pls tell me... So that I can save my 1year
@Shivani Sharma.f8 oh sorry to hear that... unfortunately I don't know much about how gks is going this year so hopefully they will reply to you soon 🙏
@@virginiasvoyage ya it's okay btw thanks ☺️
Did you contact your professor before the evaluation???
No... maybe that was my mistake haha
@virginiasvoyage I also didn't, and I failed all three universities.. I searched for my courses in all universities, I did research about the courses and labs in each university, and only one university contacted me for an interview. But, i did that interview dirty. I was blah-blah, I shouldve been more specific. I wonder why the other two didn't contact me, maybe it's my mistake for not reaching out to their professors or labs. But I think gks has become more competitive that, it has come to a state where they only select students with more than 90% marks or with topik 4 or 5. But, I will try next year, but, can you help like, what are the documents you submitted, internships, or training you did that you feel like it helped a lot during the evaluation.. can you make such videos??
@blinkteumeforeverstay4769 actually some universities, especially SKY, don't conduct interviews because they have too many applicants, so it probably wasn't your fault. I also only had one interview and it was the one university that ended up rejecting me lol I think if you watch the video about my personal statement it can be helpful! I didn't have any internships or any experience with media, so I think it was my experience in Korea and Topik that probably helped my application, but of course I'm not positive about that~
@virginiasvoyage awww thank you so much, I was wondering the same thing cuz, I applied to snu, yonsei, and chungnam ,but only chungnam invited me for an interview.. but they ended up rejecting me.. I actually have an internship which I did at Kyung Hee University when I was doing my undergrad. Plus I have many extracurricular, and I still failed. I feel like I have to have topik 4 or 5 this October to crack gks 2025. I subscribed to your channel and I will watch your videos to correct all my mistakes. Thank you💫😇
@blinkteumeforeverstay4769 good luck and I hope you're able to get accepted next time!!
Hi everyone, i applied for English education at Korea university but i don’t know if they do interview or not. I applied personally and i meet the requirements, my ielts score is 7 and my gpa is 3.31 out of 4.00 so what do you think? Is there any chance to get admitted to university?
It will just depend on the competition but as long as you meet the requirements you definitely have a chance! If you're doing university track, there will probably be an interview...
@@virginiasvoyagehey can u help me out
I hv 80/57/75/ and in mba --83%
Can I apply with my mba percentage
FOR MASTERS AGAIN
from Korean uni
Coz I can't apply for it using my ug degree I hv not 80% in my ug
Pls reply me if u can
@moonchild._._ that's a really good question... you could definitely apply for PhD but I'm not sure about masters... maybe you can email niied and see what they say! They're usually helpful by email ^^
@@virginiasvoyage okay thanks for replying
And 75% in my graduation and no work experience till now
Do u think I have chance to be selected??
If I provide top 20% certificate to them niied??
And my university ranking is also not good
Does this affect much
@moonchild._._ I don't think the university ranking should affect your chances and the work experience should also not be a problem. The 75% graduation might make it a little more difficult to be honest, but it all depends on who your competition is~
Is the interview only in Korean?
It depends on your department~
Hey, I also want to go for radio ,mass communication and journalism .can you suggest good Korean universities that provide these programmes for masters in this field. Is there any scope in this field in Korea .
I think Korea University is the most well known program and it also is the only one in Seoul that offers many classes in English! I'm not sure of the ranking of other universities, but it seems like most korean universities offer that major! But most seem to be only in Korean 😅
@@virginiasvoyage thank you

Hey pretty unnie 👋ur new subscriber here
I'm currently studying in 12th i will have my boards next year so should I start preparing for gks from now onward or i should wait for 12th result then??
Also one more thing that when should we start making documents and visa in all after getting selection or before i mean what if i get rejected 🥲all my money will be wasted
And how many interviews we have to give ???
Yay welcome!! I think you should start preparing now since it takes a while to get everything taken care of~ and then you can apply once you graduate 😊 unfortunately you have to pay for all of the documents in order to send your application to gks so there is a risk of wasting your money... 🥺 that's the downside of applying because it's not guaranteed that you'll get accepted 😢 and then the visa will be taken care of if you get accepted!
Good luck with your application process!! Btw I did gks G so maybe my answers could be different from gks U? So double check the niied guidelines just in case 😊

i have two most important queries can you please tell
1.what's the difference between high school graduation certificate and marksheet ?are they same
2. if we are going to apply with embassy track so there would be 4 sets 1 original and 3 photocopies so in other 3 copies i will obviously mention three universities in each study plan separately and i wanna ask in the original set do we have to mention the name of all three universities or single one ?
1. I don't know much about gks undergraduate but I think the certificate is like your diploma and the marksheet is a list of your grades.
2. Actually the copies will all be exact copies as the original, so you need to write essays that can apply generally to all the universities instead of each 3 that you're applying to~
@@virginiasvoyage oh I am so grateful for the answer 💙thank you so much for responding I will make sure to add this in my studyplan 😊
@mygoodluckcharmismyface1887 you need a total of 4 but they're all just exact copies, not different for each university. You write the names of the 3 universities on your application and the embassy will send it to them.
@mygoodluckcharmismyface1887 no the copies will be exactly the same, you don't have to change anything. You just print the same exact thing 4 times lol
@mygoodluckcharmismyface1887 oh no problem! So yeah they'll be the exact same, so if you're doing multiple majors you'll have to find a way to include both of them in your personal statement and study plan then~

Hello I'm in grade 12, when should I start applying?
Hi~ if you want to apply for gks U, then you'll be applying in the fall~
@@virginiasvoyage thank you very much, and when should I start applying, also since I'm undergrad do I need to contact professors from computer science faculty too?
@@Lisalee-xj1xb you won't need to contact any professors since it's undergrad 🙂 and I'm not sure about the exact date, but since the application for this year's gksU just ended, you could check on the studyinkorea.go.kr website and see the dates~ that will give you an idea for how the timeline will be next year
@@virginiasvoyage thank you so much, also can you please recommend some good universities for computer science major, doesn't matter if it is private
@@Lisalee-xj1xb KAIST and the SKY universities are the ones I would recommend~

Hi Virginia, thank you for helpful video🩷
I would like to ask you because I couldn’t find anything about it. Can I apply via embassy and university track at the same time?
Hi! You can apply to the embassy track first and then if you get rejected, you can apply to the university track. This is because the deadline for university track is usually after the deadline for embassy track. Unfortunately you can't apply to both at the same time

Is there something with chungang university, last year i also got interviewed by them and from the beginning they doesn’t seem interested and didn’t even asked me anything much and was in rush to end the interview. I haven’t got selected unfortunately.
Oh that's so interesting... I wonder what that means about their attitude towards international students 😔
