@@DARITVKOREA Mam can i do phd in international studies in ewha: but i don't have IELTS but i have TOPIK LEVEL 5 and Also my Marks in MASTERS is 85. please reply Mam💜

@@DARITVKOREA ok thankyou Profhannahjun💜
This video is packed with so much essential advice. Kudos to Angela for making through the university track. Going from 17 to 54 students from on country in university track is insanely competitive. Another great interview Professor Jun~~ Keep up the good work!! ♥️
Thanks so much, Romy! You know we’ll have to follow up with our own interview very soon. *wink wink* You can even share tips about fishing for clams! 🙈🌸
Thanks to your and Daniela's videos, I picked Ewha GSIS as my first choice. I'm from the Dominican Republic, and was admitted this year through GKS as well. I'm really excited to meet you and the rest of the faculty on campus. 🌸😊
Oh my goodness, congratulations! I’m so happy for you and excited that I’ll get the chance to see you on campus. ^^ Great job on all your hard work! 🙏🏻
Dear Professor Jun, I love your channel so much ❤ I got accepted to Ewha GSIS through GKS this year. I will be taking international business 😍. I am so excited and can't wait to meet you in Ewha GSIS.
Hooray!! Congratulations!! I can’t wait to welcome you to Ewha~~ ^^ 🙏🏻🌸
Thank you for talking about the GPA conversion and the struggle with your university bcuz I have the same problem and I was worried about it
I’m so glad we were able to address your concerns! 🙏🏻

Thank you so much Proffesor❣️
I plan on applying for International Relations Next Year through University Track too....but I'm so tensed as nobody in my country has been accepted there before.
Perhaps you will be the first! I wish you all the best on your application, and please do keep me posted on your progress. ^^ 화이팅! 🙏🏻

love it
Thanks so much! ^^
i become a new subscriber of yours💜i really like your content
Thank you so much! ^^
Hello Professor! I was accepted into Ewha as an undergraduate exchange student next semester and I qualify for the GSK scholarship for exchange students. However, it seems as if the process is different, we have to present the Study Plan in form of a PowerPoint and the Statement of Purpose in video form. Do you know anyone who was selected for this scholarship who would be able to give any tips? :)
Ma'am, do Ewha Womans University take undergraduate admission through University track for GKS scholarship for international studies
Hi Ma'am! Thank you for making such a helpful video. However i have a question. I want to email the prof (i'm about to apply for GKS-G 2023 Univ Track), but i don't know what to say.
Ofcourse i want to get in touch with my prospective future prof/adviser, but as you say, prof can't help me with anything as long as i don't officially accepted.
Is it okay to just say hi and introduce myself? do you have tips about "emailing" that will higher my chance?
Thanks before!
I would like to inquire if it is recommended in the case of Ewha to reach out to the fuculty of the GSIS program I am interested in to discuss/ask if they would be interested in taking me in as a PhD student? I had previous experience with GKS applying for a PhD program and it turned out that sometimes the Department might not be interested in taking in an outsider PhD student through the GKS.
Would you be able to give any piece of advice in turms of how better approach this not to misstep?
Mam can you tell me about computer science program scholarship????
Hi, I have already an associate degree, can I apply for the bachelor of GKS?
Hi Dari TV, I was also thinking about studying in Korea through GKS, but I also find the process confusing and the information inaccessible. I wanted to study a PhD program but there's nothing on the website to show if there are any PhD programs taught in English. When I sent an email to the international dept, they told me to simply reach out to depts I am interested in directly, but when I sent the inquiry, none of these depts replied. And yes, I am talking about Ewha. Any suggestions you may have navigating this process, or would you happen to be aware if Ewha has PhD programs taught in English? Bec PhD is a high level, I just don't think it would be doable or practical for me to spend many years learning Korean to reach that academic level, so I am curious if there are English-taught PhD programs.
Hey.. Yes it's done in Eng.. I had a guy from my country he has done his Ph.D. from Korean univ
This is so insightful. Thank you 🙇
Do you feel it is important for students to gauge whether a professor is willing to advise them if they are applying for a PhD program?
Thanks in advance for your answer 🙂
I'm so glad you found the video helpful! From my personal experience, there's no need to gauge whether a professor is willing to advise perspective Ph.D. students (particularly for the social sciences). In other words, I don't encourage students to seek letters of advisory in advance. If you would like to send an e-mail to introduce yourself (with no other intentions), that's just fine -- although not every professor may end up replying. ^^ Rather, I would focus on making sure you have a solid research plan and that the reason for wanting to apply to this particular university/program is very clear from the application materials. Wishing you all the best!
@@DARITVKOREA Thank you so much for your reply 😊
Can you please tell me, how to know that the couse i want to pursue is in english or in korean before applying in the university? I checked it on many university sites but didn't find anything related that the course is taught in english. If you could assist please.
Hello! Most departments I know of say this directly on the website, but the next best way to check is to send an e-mail to the program's administrative office (contact information is normally found on the respective department websites). You could also reach out to students who are currently enrolled in the department via Instagram/other social media. They might be able to give you a more inside view. Best wishes! ^^
hello professor.. I'm glad to have found your channel..This video really helped me get a good understanding of the application. I'm wishing to apply for masters in development cooperation. If possible can we also have a scholar pursuing that sometime in the future? I wish to know what all things/certificates etc can be beneficial for that degree.
thank you so much 😊
Thanks so much for your message! I’ll do my best to have a similar interview with a Development Cooperation major. In the meantime, best wishes with your preparation! 🙏🏻
Hello professor!! I have a question like I'll be graduating next year by the month of july probably and the application process for gks starts in feb can i give apply for it.
Hoping to meet you soon... You are one of the best professor i have seen till now.. thank you so much professor of i get through the process in one shot i would definitely like to be under your guidance and to meet you as well..
Thank you so much professor ✨✨
Hi! I believe you're able to apply even if you haven't graduated (you would just have to be expected to graduate before beginning the GKS program). Thank you for your kind words and I wish you all the best with your application! ^^
@@DARITVKOREA thank you so much professor. ✨✨
You are really the best (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)(◍•ᴗ•◍)❤(◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
@DARI TV Mam can i do phd in international studies in ewha: but i don't have IELTS but i have TOPIK LEVEL 5 and Also my Marks in MASTERS is 85. please reply Mam💜
Hi! It's impossible to tell from just the numbers you've given. One of the most important parts of the application is your statement of purpose/study plan, so I would encourage you to review the application form and focus on explaining future research. Also, please check application requirements once again (such as English test scores). Wishing you all the best!
@@DARITVKOREA Ok Thankyou Profhannahjun 💜
Hey professor as I said I'll apply in GkS 2023 this year....but there is something that is bothering me still I have volunteering work,internship, Extracurricular activities etc.but in india collage in my state rarely give 60% bcoz here they accept 50% its huge for them .But it's not enough for gks but I have 3.5/4.0 GPA but problem happen on 100scale when i convert its 57% .did they will accept me or any University even I have courage to do it n I can do that.Or any other way to fill that percentage gap with something.
@DARI TV its important to know for me.please help professor
Hi! I'm sure that there may be conversion challenges with other GKS students from India. I would first get in touch with the GKS office about conversion to the 100 scale. If you have 3.5/4.0, I hope there would be a way to convert that more favorably to a 100 scale taking into consideration the local situation. Also, you might want to check with your university about other GKS students and grade conversion. Unfortunately I'm not an expert on grade conversion, so you'll have to seek out the official stance. Best wishes! ^^
@@DARITVKOREA it does have to meet both the area of GPA I mean on 100 scale and on 4.0 scale as well.for ex. It is 57/100 and 3.5/4 then it will create problem for me or its fine .whats your thought bcoz it matter for me.
@@afreenkhalid3178 hey Afreen
I have same confusion..
Did u apply or get selected?
@moonchild._._ No, because my university denied giving extra paper to show my ability ... so, unfortunately, I'll not apply .
Can i apply for pursuing medical degree ?
Hi! You would probably have to check with the individual universities and/or GKS program, but my understanding is that many scholarship programs do not include medical degrees. I hope you can reach out to them to clarify!
@@DARITVKOREA Thank you very much ✌🏻
mam, can you give her youtube or insta id? I am also from India, have question regarding grades because her story is also like me.
Hello, Professor
I have a question, I'll be really grateful to You for your help with that.
I've been truly interested in the International studies for a long time. And I'm sure to make it to Ewha through GKS in future.
I've gone through the requirements of Ewha GSIS, 2022 GKS-G. There, to get enrolled in GSIS, proof of English Proficiency is required; And I can not afford going out of my hometown to take IELTS, But I'm pursuing my bachelor's majoring in English one of my interest (languages) and my minor is Economics. To build up my experience and a good insight I'm working as a Literary Translator as well for a retired professor (vice principal) and he's now a director of a company.
And I'm a bright student since childhood. Not going too far, in my 9th grade I achieved 91%, 10th-85%, 11th-91%, 12th-92%, and in the 1st semester of BA my SGPA is 9.67/10 (96.7%) and In future I'll do better, InShaaAllah. And my University affiliated College is English Medium. And I've a doubt that "Do I still Need English Proficiency Proof?" ,I know that it's required but can I get a chance.
My apologies for the long listed comment.
Hello! Thank you for the question and apologies for the delay in getting back to you. You might want to reach out to the GSIS office directly and let them know of your situation. They should be able to help you better than I ever could about the administrative side. Best wishes! ^^
