hi jo thank you so much for this! just wanted to ask if i graduated from my undergrad 5 years ago so i was wondering if it's still better to submit both recommendation letters from my professors then or would it be okay to have one from my employer?

Hi Jo~ thank you so much this video was really helpful! I wanted to ask, when your friend mentioned that there was a researcher in his interview panel, who would this researcher be? Would it be a researcher who is related to our field of study?

[@JOCOPIE]

The research who was present during our interviews was just one who does academia i think! So she was the one who asked us questions abt our research topic!

Hi! Thank you so much for such important information! I'm kinda confused about something different like letter of recommendation lol... So, we have form 5 and our recommenders need to fill this form and write separately letters of recommendation, right? And then I need to put all documents in ONE envelope? Sorry if this sounds rude~ I'm new here but already love your video soooo much, thank you~~~~~~~~~~

1. i have an mba degree but i will be applying for a master’s program again should i submit my master’s diploma and transcript even when it was stated that there is no need to submit it when applying for a master’s program? 2. If there is no need to submit it. Should i mention in my personal statement (re: educational background) that I have a master’s degree or my achievements during my master’s experience (e.g. research published)? Because i plan on getting a recommendation letter from one of my master’s prof. 3. And in the form where you need to indicate your GPA, should i fill in my gpa in the post graduate section? 4. For uni track should i contact a professor? Thank you very much

For 1, 2 please check with your korean embassy!! Yes, you should contact a professor if you can!

Hey, thanks again for this information. I'm a little confused about the number of pages you're allowed to write for the statement of purpose. Form 3 (statement of purpose) has 3 sections - lang study plan, goal of study and future plan, right? The instruction at the top of form 3 states that "you should type no more than 2 pages", but does that mean max 2 pages for all the 3 sections all together, or max 2 pages for language study plan , max 2 pages for goal of study, etc? Thanks a lot in advance!

[@JOCOPIE]

it should be 2 pages max for all three sections! but do check with your korean embassy!

As I heard the scholarship only allowed natural science and engineering courses… And what would be an example of the GPA I need from poly? And would I still have a chance to be accepted even though I am not really an all rounder, does not know any Korean, and my primary school results sucks 😢 also is there any tips you have on how to learn Korean ourselves?
