GSIS Masters Program in Korea l My Grad School Interview + Interview Questions & Tips

[@rroaless]

Thank you for the useful information and tips👍👍👍

[@moonhyungil2371]

Great! :D

[@planman7939]

Thanks very much for sharing the tips and real experiences you had gone through. How would you say about hardness of the study in the particular school? Is it very much heavy loaded one needing to devote most of your time and energy, or managible with some decent work life balance? Are there lots of books to read or rather mostly prepared lecture materials? What were the most challenging parts? Most welcome any other advises, too.

[@hellokittyn]

Hi it all depends on what type of courses you take and how many classes per semester

[@planman7939]

@@hellokittyn Thx much!

[@benchirapunnattha4047]

Thanks for your information. It's help a lot. But I wonder that if I would like to apply, do I need to contact the professor before apply for it?

[@hellokittyn]

I did not contact any professors beforehand.

@@hellokittyn Thank you for your useful information. I wish the best for you and late happy lunar new year!

[@chuchuchips22]

Is it okay to introduce your name? Then go on with academics and experiences you've had?

[@hellokittyn]

I assume you are asking about the self-introduction? Of course, you can do that, but I wouldn't recommend repeating exactly what you wrote in your personal statement. They have already read that when they selected you for an interview :)

uni in Korea sounds hard work. How are you finding it?

[@hellokittyn]

grad school in Korea is quite difficult tbh, but i am really enjoying it :)

I want to apply for post graduate diploma in Korea before going for masters does Korea offer food science and technology

[@Devuttyyyy]

Hello! I'm planning to do international studies grad next year.. So is there a real face interview for the admission? And please tell me what all other things are required for the admission

[@hellokittyn]

Did you watch the video? It’s all about face to face interview.. look at the schools website for admission requirements as they can vary

[@Devuttyyyy]

@@hellokittyn yes sis, i watched it! But when i looked into the website they said there is no interview and the admission process is completely based on documents. That's why i asked it again, that should i have to come to korea for the admission process

[@hellokittyn]

@@Devuttyyyy so how it went for me was like this : Round 1 - submit your paper/ online application Round 2 - only if you pass the document round will you have a face to face interview Round 3 - acceptance letter So i definitely had a face to face interview , but it’s possible that could have changed. I would recommend emailing the GSIS office to inquire about the interview. They will be able to give you up to date information

[@hellokittyn]

@@Devuttyyyy I’m pretty sure if you’re not in Korea then you can do the interview via video.

[@Devuttyyyy]

Hey, Can I Study gsis too ?? Currently I'm pursuing my undergrad school with psychology.

[@hellokittyn]

perhaps. you would have to do your own research to find out

[@kamilaazizah3701]

Could u tell what the difference between GSIS and regular MBA?

[@hellokittyn]

Graduate School of International Studies is a masters program and an mba is an mba. Perhaps Google what an mba is if you’re unsure how it’s different from a masters program.

[@OneilFe]

@@hellokittyn I think the reason they said that is because there's an international business concentration and they want to get ur insight on that

[@hellokittyn]

@@OneilFe the GSIS program I attended doesn’t have an international business concentration… International business is a part of the international trade major along with other electives and related courses. A masters degree and mba, while having similarities, are still two different degrees. OP would benefit more from a through Google search to better understand how the degrees are different and what type of program would better complement their experiences and future goals.

[@krystal9424]

Can I ask the interview is using English or Korea?

[@hellokittyn]

the program i applied to is taught in English, therefore the interview was in English as well

[@krystal9424]

@@hellokittyn Thank you so much! ❤️

[@user-bp8ki4eu9t]

would it be okay to ask what range your undergrad gpa was in? if you're not comfortably saying, i completely understand! i just wanted to ask because i'm in a pretty similar situation as you, with lower average grades and little work experience, but i also want to apply to gsis programs and wanted to get a good idea of my chances. thank you for the helpful video!

[@hellokittyn]

hi i want to keep that info private but don't let that kind of thing hold you back from applying!! :) I think its much better to move forward with confidence and with a plan as to how you will succeed in your future studies, rather than worry too much about the past

[@ellea.4878]

Hello! I am a Nurse but i am planning to take up Master's in International Studies, based on your Master's Experiences, do you think i can stand a chance? Thank you

[@hellokittyn]

Hi! I had a bachelor's degree in Health and Human Services and was able to get into the international studies program even though I had a medical background. So if it works for me then I'm sure it'll work for you!!

[@ellea.4878]

@@hellokittyn Thank you so much!! I was really skeptical. I don't really know if i will atleast stand a chance in being accepted. This really helped me! Thank you again

[@hellokittyn]

@@ellea.4878 you will stand a chance!! good luck and try your best 🍀
