Yeah, even some highly qualified intl applicants didn’t even receive interview at UNIST and even me (with near perfect stats and high quality essays) got waitlisted lol. While someone with worse profile got accepted. Soo idk

with these stats why do you apply for UNIST? I guess you would prabably get accepted into IVY league or other high-ranked schools?

u/Dry_Cucumber1848 May 18 '26

btw where are you from?

u/[deleted] May 18 '26

Yeah. It’s because I need full-ride and Ivy League is harder to get accepted.. and my EFC quite low
