Have you ever wondered how difficult it is to get into Korea's most prestigious university? It's called Seoul National University (SNU) and we went to the campus to ask some students there how competitive it is to get in.

Describing SNU students as the top 1% is technically misleading.
They are more like the top 0.0075% of all.
what about IIT
@@AquinasBased no one is talking about IIT here
@@AquinasBased They did a video about IIT a few weeks back, I believe. You may want to check that one out.
I’m sorry but 0.0075% is a bit exaggerated…
We Koreans can only apply to 6 University each year. And Seoul University 경쟁률(Competition rate) ranks 18 (14,108 applicants, 2056 received acceptance).
While Chung-ang University received the most applicants (60,836 app, 2,093accepted) making it the university with highest competition rate/ lowest acceptance rate in South Korea…
Most students who applied to Top University in Seoul are Top1%(1등급 or A+) student. Since we are graded in curve(only certain percentage of student can receive an A grade). And to have a good grades in 수능(CSAT) if we will apply in regular admission 정시. + Interview and Essay.
Also, the difficulty is depends on major…and 의대(medical school) is the most desirable. But in terms of prestige and research output. Indeed Snu is number 1 in Korea.
But our University in korea is ranked depends on tradition.
(Major, Prestige, Alumni’s impact in S.K)
(In Seoul)
1. Snu
2. Yonsei=Korea U
3. Sogang=Sungkyunkwan=Hanyang
4. Chung-ang=Kyunghee= Hufs= Uni of Seoul
Universities outside of Seoul are often looked down upon. But Kaist and Postech have an exception in terms of Engineering and Technology outputs.
@@icedquadlatte don’t be discouraged.😊 Foreigners have high acceptance rate compared to local students. As some University wants to maintain international student ratio to have a good competition in world ranking.😉
My advice is prepare your documents as early as possible. (Diploma, transcript of record, bank statement[proof that you’re financially capable to live/ study in a foreign country], visa, essay, TOEFL/TOPIK, and if I’m not mistaken interview and other requirements are depends on University like SAT scores or recommendations letter).
+ choose your major wisely (I recommend to choose a University/major that offers most of the classes in English)
+ Learn Korean language (it’s important coz language barrier is real)
Remember that getting into a University is not about obtaining the education that they provide. Yes the professors that work. There can have high credentials and have a lot of information but the connections and the networking that the University provides as part of status of their connections with higher entities
Right on. And also, entering a prestigious university but not knowing how to use all its resources to your advantage basically does nothing to your grade(and can even worsen them). For instance, some people shy away from approaching lecturers and hence, lose their chance to get useful tips and advice
Yes, I’m a korean and this is true…. Graduating in prestigious universities help to advance in career because of “Alumni Connections.” Some employer prefer those who graduated “In Seoul.” And the prestige is depends on Alumni which makes the SKY(Snu,Korea U, Yonsei) the most influential one for producing politicians and CEOs. + These Universities are always mentioned in national television influencing most parents and students’s desire to be accepted there. Which means getting accepted there could secure our career and future.
@@user-ex2et2zn7mbut in SKY, The K is for KAIST no ? Not for Korea U ..?
Remember guys. Going to the best University doesn't guarantee your success. There are plenty of other good schools to choose from in this modern age. Have a nice day.
No, in Korea it's like a business card for your future life. You'll always be preferred in interviews and getting in touch with your alumni will give you the needed connections
You'd be absolutely right in almost any other country in the world. In Korea, if you're not SKY, you're just fish fry.
Edit: Notification reminded me. There are two exceptions to this rule: KAIST and POSTECH. These are the top 2 tech universities in the country. If you graduate from either of these in a tech field (engineering, computer science, robotics, etc.), it's equivalent to getting a degree from a SKY university.
Education isn't the problem the job recruiters are
I wonder if you graduate bottom of your class at SNU, you'll still get a job over a person who graduated with honours/1st grade at a lesser known uni. Bottom line is it's not the education or even degree from the university it's the networking and being an Alunni.
That's so true!!! Doing any majors from Seoul National University or any other popular University will guarantee a good job. There are people who say that the university doesn't matter are the ones not able to find job & they definitely have to give explanation about how money is not everything lol
In South Korea,
There is a long-standing tradition of ingrained university rankings only unique to Koreans,
Almost like a customary practice.
This ranking takes into account only campuses located in Seoul.
1st tier
Seoul National University
1.5th tier
Yonsei University / Korea University
2nd tier
Sungkyunkwan University / Hanyang University / Sogang University
3rd tier
Chung-Ang University / Kyung Hee University / Hankuk University of Foreign Studies / University of Seoul
If you are a foreigner and wish to study in Korea as an exchange student, I recommend the following universities:
(The following universities are ranked within the top 500 in the world according to the 2023 QS university evaluation.)
Seoul National University(41)
Yonsei University(76)
Korea University(79)
Sungkyunkwan University(145)
Hanyang University (164)
Kyung Hee University(332)
Chung-Ang University(494)
it's always business administration majors or something related to economics, does anyone fight to get in and then just choose journalism or philosophy 😂?

I hate this world, if I'm poor and not good in studies then my life is doomed!
Even if you don’t have a life of luxury, you can still find joy in the time you have alive.
In other parts of the world they don't care about the exact university. They care what you can do. The internet is all you need to get good education for getting a brilliant job. It's about your hard work not your excuses.
Your life is not doomed… not all that glitters is gold. You might not have a lot, and still be happy, yet these top students might have it all, and not be happy. Just always have a grateful heart, pray for wisdom and divine business or career ideas to help you work with what you have. Also smile, everything will be alright. Remember, there are numerous successful people that never had an education, there is so much more to life like good health, and freedom.
This is not true and you are very mislead by this nonsense. I have known many people getting accepted into our best schools in the USA and all of them came from a poor background. A man by the name Angel Acala of the Philippines went to Harvard and is now the one of Philippines top scientist in marine biology. I got to live with the man, he's awesome. It's not a system problem it's a YOU problem. Quit blaming your status and everything around you, sound like a woman. Geez if it makes you feel better another man came from China as a poor man and graduated top of his class and also an African man who is now an educator, his degree was scientist. So stop. Germany allows anyone to come study in their top schools and pay for it, Cuba also educates poor people freely. I can go in of the various countries that do this but you do the research yourself.
Let me also say that your Dad had millions of seman in his sack and you are the chosen one. Be better for those that didn't make it. 😂
I will never get why would they be pressuring student's that much when entrance exam won't measure how smart you are don't be discourage whoever reads this find your strength and hold onto that
Every country has special universities that only allow the cream of the crop to get in. My country has it too. The difference is in most other countries even if you are not admitted at such top university you can still become successful even with less prestigious uni degrees. Whereas in Korea that's way rarer.
No lol stop.
That’s not even true? Why are you just making stuff up lol are you even Korean? Even just getting into a Seoul-based college is enough for most employers to happily take you. I guess it depends on what you define successful but it’s not way rarer in Korea than most others
Australia doesn't have that. Stop making stuff up.
@@MamaW42 There's also the two tech exceptions: KAIST and POSTECH. Graduates from those schools tend to also get slightly preferential treatment.
@@mychemicalrelapseIn the US there's the Ivy Leagues, for Japan the University of Tokyo, in Germany there's TUM (Technical University of Munich), NUS in Singapore, UM in Malaysia and many others. Just because Australia doesn't have an equivalent doesn't mean that other countries don't. It's actually a valid and fair point
The girl on the thumbnail really looks like Lee Hyori🫢
I know this video isn't about India, but in IIT only 5 to 6000 students are selected from 16 to 17 lakh students!
More like 10k out of 1.2 lakhs students where 45k qualify advanced
@@Jiji_here_431no??
Out of 1.4 million applied this year only 7K are selected in thick are the non core branches are there
All the 1.4 million try to get cse in IIT BOMBAY CHENNAI OR GUWAHATI which have less than 120 seats combined.
If koreans learned english they can branch out and move around getting more jobs.
That’s cool but kind of sad
Shi-, getting into SNU by being an international student is much easier. Lmfaoo
this is so sad. Stuff lime this makes me thing life is not worth it
So that is the same probability of becoming a famous kpop idol ..i prefer being an idol🤣
Even if the stats here are true, SNU is not a household name in the global market. I'd argue it's more impressive to attend a less selective, well known school than a more selective one with only a domestic reputation.
u would need to count in that SK's economy in general is pretty legit already. There would be Samsung (whose profit only generate more than the entire Kpop industry), LG, Lotteria,... top companies in SK look for top grads in SK univs. Furthermore, it is undeniable about the quality of global name like Harvard, YALEs, Oxford,... but do remember English is the most spoken language in the world, so more popularity is also guaranteed, also pop culture helps. All in all, popularity may be important, but there's no need to go global if ur a household name already.
but IT IS a household name in the global market, just because you haven't heard it doesn't mean is not.
kinda ironic you're talking about domestic reputation
While iit is 0,5%
All these struggles to get into university but then to beg to get a job at a company , pathetic 😊
Wtf 😂 how you gonna call someone pathetic when your comment ain’t even half readable
Exactly
Very easy if smart w
Meanwhile IIT laughing in the corner 🗿🗿
SNU is a better school than IIT. IIT is around 200th and SNU is like 120th. India has more people is all.
@@IlIlIlIIIIllllllllllllll but bro to get into iit you need to clear jee exam
And JEE is the second toughest exam in the world
@@IlIlIlIIIIllllllllllllll the ranking that you'r telling to compare is already absured and disregarded by iit's itself
Bruh honestly u all need to stop bragging about India everywhere
@@strpa.mp4 you can't ignore iits
Death by SNU SNU
Lmao Futurama
Underrated 😂
My college has a 1.8% acceptance rate 🤧
The person making this video clearly did not make it into any university at all if they think low intake rates means its somehow more difficult or only for geniuses. It just means demand is high. And in a society that is very very set on everyone being the same and valuing the same things of course they will all agree on one most prestigious university and then of course all apply to that one university. Especially considering more than half of their population lives in one single city
SNU’s application rate is actually pretty low. Most students don’t bother to apply because they know they don’t stand a chance.
In my countries u can used money to entering prestigious university 😊
what country u in?
That sounds like my country!
as with most lol
Indonesia
girl in thumbnail look like jungkook
1-2 person per highschool 😂😂... Meanwhile IIT Bombay 1000 seats for atleast 1 million candidate... but if you compare high school students around 1000/2 million 😂😂... 😂
The purpose of this video was not to compare and compete with other colleges. It was just to throw light and share some knowledge about Korean universities.
@@Deekshaaaa._ Exactly, but apparently some people make everything a competition.
Bruh , can u all shut up and stop bragging about India everywhere, it's annoying
🤷♀️it’s y’all population problem, not that IIT is some insurmountably prestigious school. Harvard’s rate is 4.5%, much more renowned
@@MamaW42 lmao IIT is prestigious. If u r not an Indian, u won't know it lol
Low CGPA to join get Seoul National University i mean 75% person
Stay in your country
Never come here
I thought being beautiful is enough to get work in korea
Jee advance.
That's terrible
that's life 🥲 but who says going to prestigious univs is the only way to success
Welcome to reality
In india, if you are preparing to get into a medical school (like me) most of the students aim for AIIMS, Delhi( all india institute of medical sciences). 2.4 million students took the exam this year, AIIMS accept only top 80 students which is 0.003%. So nah, difficulty to get into a collage is so scary that doesnt even scare anymore.🤌🏻
Facts
Snu acceptance rate is 13-15% . As an Indian that literally decent
