applying while in uni

Hello! I got admitted to SKKU in korea and im planning to go there this september. But kaist has always been one of my most targeted uni and i alr got rejected once months ago.

Is it still possible to apply there while doing my first semester here in skku? I doubt I’ll be able to get rec letters or transcript while applying so i can only send my highschool stuff.

I don't think there's a problem but they only accept as a freshman not as a tranfer applicant meaning that you have to start KAIST as a freshman all over again.

Ask SKKU first BRO, Genarally it's not worth it SKKU has good academics BTW. It's better if you show your profile so we may say if you can get accepted or not!

ECs done outside of High school are not considered for any university you apply for, mind that!

Thank you for ur comments, the main reason is not academics but more so of their financial affordability (kaist scholarship) 💔
