New "Two-Week Relay" Program... Counseling Available Until 9 p.m. on Weekdays

Seoul's Yangcheon-gu district, headed by Lee Ki-jae, will nearly double the number of one-on-one counseling sessions for students preparing for the 2027 regular college admissions process, from 120 last year to 232 this year. The district is adding a new two-week counseling program to its existing one-day sessions to serve more students seeking to plan their regular admissions strategies after the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT).

The district announced on October 28 that it will offer "2027 One-on-One Personalized Intensive Counseling for Regular College Admissions" after the CSAT on November 19 and before the regular admissions application period. Professional admissions counselors will analyze students' CSAT scores and their chances of admission to their preferred universities and departments, then provide personalized application strategies. Each counseling session has been extended to 40 minutes.


The new "Two-Week Relay" counseling program will run from December 16 to 29 in the counseling room on the first floor of the Yangcheon Education Support Center, serving 132 students. Two additional counselors dedicated to students will be assigned during the program. To accommodate students and parents with scheduling constraints, evening counseling will be available until 9 p.m. on weekdays. Applications will open on December 1 at 9 a.m. and be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.


The existing "One-Day" counseling program will take place on December 23 at the Yangcheon Digital Media Center on the third floor of the district office. Ten admissions counselors will provide one-on-one counseling to 100 students from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Applications will be accepted from October 30 through November 13, and participants will be selected by computer-generated lottery. Applicants can choose one of the two counseling programs and apply through the "Yangcheon-gu Lifelong Learning Portal."


The district will also hold a "2027 Regular College Admissions Success Strategy Briefing" on December 22. Nam Yun-gon, head of MegaStudy, will explain the key features of regular admissions and application strategies for individual universities.



District head Lee Ki-jae said, "I hope this will provide practical help to students preparing to apply through regular admissions as they develop the best application strategies for their preferred universities." He added, "We will continue to strengthen our personalized admissions support so that students and parents can receive the information they need at the right time."
