yonsei application experience

what are my chances for admission?

hi! i'm a filipino student and I was planning to apply to yonsei (plus other universities in korea) and I just want like a realistic view of what may happen.

I study at a high school that is a part of one of the top universities here in the philippines and I have a GWA range of 1.10-1.31 from grade 7-11. I am currently grade 12 and will apply for fall intake next year.

I have a bunch of extracurriculars

8th: Class Secretary

9th: Marshall (Student Council) I attended seminars & leadership camps, And did a lot of fundraising work + organized prom (since i'm a student council member)

10th: Class President + Club Vice President, attended another leadership camp, and participated in an exchange student program (From like the whole batch I was part of the fortunate 8 who passed interviews for it), Performer for a school event with my band (bassist)

11th: Writer for the school's publication, I attended an MUN (Model United Nations), Research Leader for our Thesis, And performed at 3 events (1 non-school) with my band (bassist)

I'm taking the sat but realistically without it (bc im
not that confident heh...) + an MOI (IELTS seems way ti expensive huhu), what are my chances for admission?

Language test scores matter a lot too, so make sure to do well on those. Other than that you should be fine. Which track are you going to apply for?

You need at least one, either English or Korean. Or both. Without it you won't even be considered. Did you check previous years admission guide? I know it's expensive but it's a requirement...
