Transcript:
These documents, detailing your academic achievements, are required from every institution that you have attended (excluding the record from primary and secondary schools.)
Transcripts must provide a record of the course(s) you have taken in each academic year along with the final grade(s). If an institution cannot provide a year-by-year record, the school official must at least provide us with a list of the disciplines you have studied (i.e. English, Biology, History, etc.) and a summary of your achievements in each.
Please submit official transcripts as issued directly by the institutions you have attended. You must also submit the official evidence of the conferrals of all degrees, diplomas, or professional titles showing the date of the conferrals (month and year).
Applicants whose graduation status is pending during the time of application may submit an expected graduation certificate or enrollment certificate instead. Then for admistted students should submit their graduation certificates with Apostille or embassy certificate to the Office of Admissions within 15days of their enrollment.
Personal Statement:
This is an opportunity for you to provide more detailed information about yourself and your accomplishments that could not be sufficiently expressed in other parts of the application.
You may include your family background, academic achievements, extracurricular commitments and accomplishments, volunteer work, employment experience, and your reasons for applying to SNU. Other appropriate topics may include, but not limited to the following: personal interests, pastime activities, personal opinions for music, arts, etc”.
Recommendation Letter:
Two letters of recommendation from professors are required.
Complete your part of the recommendation. Then, along with a stamped and addressed envelope, hand over the form to two recommenders who know you well. Be sure to give them sufficient time to complete the form before the application deadline.
Recommendations should be sealed in an official envelope and signed across the back by the recommenders. (Recommendation by email is not acceptable.)
Your recommenders should provide us with their appraisals of the contributions you made in their classes or academic fields. They are asked to give their personal impressions about your character, intellectual ability, aptitude in research, the quality of your previous works, and your potentials.
