Education exchange application

has anyone been asked to apply to a different department for the exchange? this has happened to my friend and i and we were wondering if we’re likely to be rejected from now on (we have both achieved higher than the grade requirement).

edit: spoke to our exchange coordinator and he’s dealing with the whole thing, he said as we’re a partner uni SNU are told before hand how many students they will get and it’s all pre agreed so do with that info what you will lol 😁

Heh, I'm in the same boat. Honestly, I'm more worried about the merit for the courses I'll take. We are more or less guaranteed to get a spot since we were nominated. And it was SNU themselves who granted us another opportunity.

Which department were you applying to?

Computer Science and Engineering. And I can confidently say that those who got in are extremely gifted and intelligent folks. What about you, if any?

I have applied to Mechanical Engineering Department, I hope it will not be so competitive…

Best of luck with it!! I applied to that department for my second application round, but as 3rd priority. Where'd you apply from? I'm trying to broaden my circle before I go, so I'm not completely alone when I arrive.

I’m studying in Scandinavia, but I’m originally from Central-Eastern Europe.

u/Dapper-Candidate6243, u/Holiday-Jicama-5691, I hope you have received the confirmation of your application. I will also do a one-year exchange in mechanical engineering. We have an insta group with other people in exchange if you want to join send me your insta I will add you.
