Hosub Lee, Director of Admissions at Sookmyung Women's University

For this regular admissions process, when reflecting CSAT scores, Sookmyung Women's University will apply the standard scores for the Korean language and mathematics sections, and use the university’s own converted scores for the English section based on grade. For the inquiry section, the university’s converted standard scores will be applied according to the subjects taken by the applicant.

Applicants must have scores in the required CSAT sections for each recruitment unit as specified by Sookmyung Women's University for the 2026 academic year. Applicants for the humanities, natural sciences, and School of Interdisciplinary Studies must take Korean, mathematics, English, and two inquiry subjects (social studies or science). (No specific elective subjects are designated for Korean or mathematics.)

For the Department of Physical Education and the College of Fine Arts (excluding the Department of Painting), the highest score among Korean, English, and one inquiry subject (social studies or science) will be reflected. (No specific elective subject is designated for Korean.)

For the Department of Dance, College of Music, and Department of Painting, two sections (Korean and English) will be reflected. (No specific elective subject is designated for Korean.)

However, since the weighting of each subject varies by recruitment unit, applicants must pay close attention to the subject weighting for each unit when applying.

For the humanities, an additional 3% is added to the converted standard score for each social studies subject taken, and for the natural sciences, an additional 3% is added for each science subject taken. All applicants must also take Korean History, and additional points determined by Sookmyung Women's University will be added to the total score based on the Korean History grade. For special admissions outside the regular quota, 24 students will be selected in Regular Admission Group A and 6 students in Group B through the social consideration track, based on 100% CSAT scores.
