Keimyung University (President Shin Ilhee) announced that out of the 4,634 students to be admitted within the quota for the 2027 academic year, 4,109 students, or 88.7%, will be selected through the rolling admission process.

This year’s rolling admission features major changes, including a revision of the student record-based evaluation method, an expansion of the interview-based screening, and the introduction of a new regional physician selection track.

The number of students to be recruited by admission type is: 1,999 for the student record-based screening track, 1,503 for the comprehensive screening (holistic admissions) track, and 607 for the performance/achievement-based track.

The scoring method for the regional track of the student record-based screening has been revised to reflect both career-planning subjects (40 points) and general subjects (40 points).

For general subjects, all subjects from the top three subject areas by major are included. For the College of Medicine (pre-medical) and the College of Pharmacy, all subjects in Korean, Mathematics, English, Science, and Korean History, as well as the top three career-planning subjects, are considered.

Additionally, the student record-based interview track will significantly expand, recruiting 393 students across 56 academic departments.

The first round of screening will be expanded to 20 times the enrollment quota for all recruitment units, and in the second round, 70% of the score will be based on first-round results and 30% on the interview.

The newly introduced regional physician system will select 4 students through the regional physician student record-based track and 11 students through the regional physician comprehensive screening track.

Both tracks require meeting the minimum academic criteria in the mathematics section of the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT).

Remarkable changes are evident in the comprehensive screening track.

Except for the College of Medicine (pre-medical) and the College of Pharmacy, all other recruitment units will not separately count academic records as scores, and academic grades will be blind-evaluated during the review process.

The general track evaluation criteria have been adjusted to 20 points for academics, 40 points for career planning, and 40 points for community involvement. For all applicable university recruitment units, except certain art and physical education departments, the selection will be based 100% on application documents.

In addition, a new Division of Convergence Business, dedicated to adult learners, will be established within the College of Business Administration, admitting up to 30 students through the specialized track for vocational high school graduates currently employed and up to 40 students through the adult learners track. Classes will be conducted both online and on campus.

Hwang Byunghoon, Dean of Admissions at Keimyung University, emphasized, "In the comprehensive screening track, academic records are not simply reflected as numerical scores but are evaluated on a blind basis, so experience and competencies demonstrated throughout school life are important. It is essential to fully understand the characteristics of each track and establish a strategy that fits your strengths."

Applications for the 2027 rolling admission will be accepted from the 7th to the 11th, and students can apply across different study tracks without restrictions.

Applicants may apply to up to six different tracks if the types of admissions are different.
