Important notes on the 2009 fall admissions

1. For those of you who have not submitted the applications to BCS:

There have been many inquiries about the 2009 fall admissions after the inaugural symposium on the 15th of May, therefore, BCS has decided to receive more applications. Those of you, who are interested in applying to BCS (starting at September 2009), please submit the application online on the SNU admissions website (Click here). You may later be asked to submit additional materials (e.g., the application and the study plan in the format BCS provides), but for now use the application and the study plan that SNU admissions office provides in Korean when submitting the application.

2. For those of you who already have submitted the applications to BCS:

We are very sorry about the inconvenience but the students must resubmit the application to the SNU admissions office. You can reuse the study plan and the personal statement you have submitted to BCS, but have to submit the application in Korean. You can download the Korean version application on the SNU admissions website. We again apologize for the inconvenience.
