Actually, the general acceptance rate is not that low compared to the top universities in the U.S. Actually, maybe, much higher.

Some people blame that Korean students study like “cramming machines”. Yes, they study hard to get into one of the top universities. For example, only 0.5\% of all the high school graduates get admission to SNU, which is 3,000 out of 600,000.

How hard is it to get into SNU as a foreigner?

I entirely disagree with the first comment, esp about your leadership positions. Getting into SNU as a foreigner is more likely than as a Korean student (though still hard). HOWEVER you have to be at least a TOPIK level 3 to enroll as an undergrad student at any Korean university.

Do you prefer to study in Korean or Korean at SNU?

But in my case, in college of pharmacy, most lecuters are given in Korean, professors prefer using Korean. Even though, they are trying to support foreigners but it is not enough. As long as living in SNU, language is still a hard barrier to stop you enjoy life.
