r/YonseiUIC

just got an invitation for the interview. please give me a piece of advice about the interview and how can I prepare for? thanks a lot!

Did y'all get the interview invitation?

hey yall im applying for the fall semester, and im wondering when the email for the interview will be sent after the application review, is it like 1 week before or just a few days before the supposed 9-13th interviews

also, does uic give options to pick the date of the interview between 9th-13th or do they automatically pick the date for you since my country is having the national graduation exam on the 10th and 11th

and am i screwed for forgetting to send my rec letters…
thank uu!! ^^

I have sent my IELTS and SAT certificates by post. However, I did not send them electronically using the College Board and British Council. Will there be a problem regarding this?

Hey I was just curious because on the admissions page it says that interviews are conducted between June 9 - 13, I am actually travelling on the 9th of June and also on the 14th, if by any chance they schedule an interview on one of these days is it possible to reschedule.

Can anyone who who has undergone the interview stage let me know how in advance do they email you regarding the interview and usually when does this take place?

Hi, I’m afraid that I might not get a diploma because of my HLs(lower than 12 points). my predicted score is 34/45 and I’m sure that I will get about 23-29 is it ok? :(

hey guys quick q about admissions

im applying to uic with a 28 pg (ib) which i know isnt amazing. had some documented illness-related absences during dp1/dp2 that affected consistency, school can confirm it etc

that said my ecs + ps are genuinely strong (leadership, internships, long term projects, clear major fit, etc) and my recs are solid

just wondering realistically:

does uic usually give straight yes/no decisions or are conditionals common?

like in a case where grades are a bit lower but there’s context + strong overall profile, is it more likely to be an outright rejection/acceptance, or do they sometimes give conditionals based on finals?

would appreciate any insight 🙏

I’m finishing my junior year in two months, so I’m Class of 2027. I’ve got a 4.0 weighted GPA and a 3.7 unweighted.

Extracurriculars: Student Council, NHS, volunteer clubs, out-of-school competitions, debates, etc.

Standardized Tests:

• IELTS: Predicted 7.5 or 8
• SAT: 680 Math (ignore my English score)
• TOPIK: Completed Level 1

Academics: I have taken three APs so far and next year I’ll be taking two. So far, I have three 4s; next year, I’m expecting probably the same. I am also Top 20 this current year out of 150 students.

Future Plans: I’m going to apply for Life Sciences and Biotechnologies. I’ll be getting a government scholarship from my country, so this application is for admissions only.

Pending Goals: The only things left for my extracurriculars that I’m preparing for are TOPIK Level 2 (Level 3 if I have time), lab experience, and an internship (in December).

Is there anything im missing Cuz this is my dream uni in korea sooo yeah?
