1. Earn Science or Art or Business Certificates

For UNIST, it is crucial to see your education results, such as - Certificates, Diplomas, and Medals. When you do something extracurricular at School, think about how you will show your result or progress or ask for a certificate. Also, there are more platforms for self-education, such as Coursera or EdX, where you can apply for Financial Aid and get Certificates from Top companies and Institutes. Do Digital Garage by Google if possible. There are so many easy ways to acquire certificates.

2. Do self- or pet- projects

One of the most working way to express yourself in your essay is to write how you organized events, created a science club or launched a mini school startup. You need to do them and your activity will be felt on your essay if you provide details how you launched something personal. Moreover, remember to follow "Show, Don't Tell" Principle.

3. Strictly follow guidelines

After studying for 4 years in South Korea, I honestly felt Korean Mentality. Koreans' culture implies following rules and guidelines. While filling out the application and attaching documents, try to double-check if all satisfy their guidelines. If so, they will add +10 points to your application because they love when everything is strict and structured.

4. Do Not Be Afraid

Although UNIST is Korean University; it is genuinely open to International Students. UNIST has one of the highest international students rates! If you do not understand something and you have not found the answer in the FAQ section, you can freely address your issue to the admission committee, and they will try to answer you as soon as possible. All you need to focus on while applying to UNIST is YOU. Pass Exams, Collect Documents, Earn Certificates and Submit Them. That is all. Hope you will receive your long-awaiting message from your Dream-Uni!
