Important Questions:

I’m planning to apply to Konyang University (I know it’s quite competitive) through the university track for the UIC program, targeting an AI major (Medical AI).

My formal background is in medical studies, but I’ve completed several AI and math-related specialization courses. Will these help strengthen my application for this major?

I’ve noticed that applicant pools can vary a lot by country. In your experience, does the university track tend to have different levels of competition depending on the region? Just trying to understand how things work.

Also, anyone planning to apply to Konyang, feel free to comment or DM.
