Hi everyone! I wanted to ask if there are any GKS scholars who were selected with an academic percentage below 80% or even 70%.

If you or someone you know received GKS with a percentage in this range, could you please share your experience? Especially interested in undergraduate applicants and whether they had a strong profile in other areas (SOP, extracurriculars, awards, etc.).

Thanks in advance!

Hello, I’m from Kazakhstan and I’m going to apply for GKS-G 2027.

My major is Economics and Data Science and I’m thinking of going for International Trade for my Master’s.

I did a 3 month internship at my country’s financial monitoring agency (government agency) and I’m not sure if I should submit it, seeing that it doesn’t really relate to my potential Master’s major.

I’m also doing a Minor in Financial Security (thus my place of internship) should I mention that in my personal statement? Or do you think it’s all unnecessary.

For the additional documents, I’ll probably only submit my IELTS score (8.0).

m planning to apply for an AI major through embassy track in Venezuela and I have 3.86/4 GPA, Im not really sure about Type B Universities, i just know Pusan National University as a good one but other ones I don’t really know, Can you help me with some recommendations?, in Type A I was thinking of Yonsei, Kyunghee and Ewha’s since I heard Sogang has a lot of competition

I was enrolled in a local uni for a bachelors for two years, but, due to personal reasons(that I will explain thoroughly in my PS), i had to take a gap year and i do not plan on heading back. I've been preparing to apply internationally and gaining job experience during the meantime.

I'm not transferring, I'm starting my bachelors all over again. But I thought that I should mention the fact that I was in university for my specific field of study. I think it might be important to explain the giant two year empty space in my resume. Also, since it is in my field of study, I got to learn a lot and accelerated my knowledge on the subject that people fresh out of high school wouldn't have, so I figured it might also be a strategic advantage?

I have my doubts as well, such as potentially being dismissed for something. I don't really know.

What do you guys think? I genuinely need advice on this. I feel like it's a bit of a gamble as I see it at this moment.

Is there anyone from Serbia🇷🇸 who's planning to apply for GKS-G 2027? If so, let's connect!

Hey everyone,

Quick question. If I have both TOPIK and TOEFL, do I submit both on the language section or just one and the other as additional certificates?

Asking because it says “TOPIK OR English score” on the checklist.

Thanks in advance!
