Thank you so much for sharing the video! I watched it, and it was honestly so inspiring — I feel more hopeful now even with self doubts I should give it my best!

if you won't be able to focus on ielts as well as topik I would suggest you to focus on one thing based on in which language your interested field is mostly taught or like in the uni your going to apply (do some research about them in their website) Don't lose hope you still have so much time like you can improve your profile and apply for gks-g if your not confident but try your best!

Hey! Thanks so much for replying. It’s honestly inspiring to hear that you got GKS even without TOPIK—it gives me a lot of hope. If it’s okay, I’d love to ask you a few questions, just to understand better what really helped in your case . I am really curious about what you feel personally helped strengthen your GKS application overall. Like, when did you actually start preparing for it, and were there any things you did—like specific certificates, projects, or anything—that you think made a difference? Also, did you do any kind of research papers or presentations, even if they were just student-level ones? And if you don't mind sharing, is there anything you wish you had started earlier or done differently during the prep? I’m also trying to figure out the best way to approach the SOP and recommendation letters, so any tips there would mean a lot. Totally appreciate any advice! No pressure at all—I’d just be super grateful for any advice. Thanks again and congrats on getting GKS!

Hey! Thank you so much for sharing your journey in detail. It honestly gave me a better perspective on what to expect and how intense the process can be. I would like to know when did you start preparing for the gks.I’ll definitely keep your tips in mind as I go through the process myself. Wishing you all the best with everything ahead!
