As you see applying for university is kinda confusing lol
In in the middle of my applying for university in Korea period. But at least in finished with all the paper work.
Its very different from applying here in Norway.
First I had to apply through online, filling out some forms and stuff. That was not really a problem. Except I the applying page was all written in korean, even the form for forigners???
Thank god I allready have been studying enough korean to understand how to navigate myself. But that was not my only problem applying though online. The second was that I needed an korean adress,cellphone number and phone number. And because I dont have either of those I had to ask one of my korean friends to lend his adress and numbers. What about those who dont have korean friends to help them?
And my third problem was I had problems paying the application fee, because the page had problems with my norwegian credit card. So I had to get help...Again!
After that I had problems with the papers. I had to send them=
* copy of my passport, easy!
* Proof of over 1000 dollar on my bank account, easy.
*Copy of my parents passport, easy also.
* Letters of recommendation from two teacher, okay but stressful contacting old teachers who don't really know me. I mean, I have changed alot since high school right?? Im not a awkward emo anylonger!!
*Studyplan and Personal statment.Just write alot of random stuff
* English translation of my high school and junior high school diploma. Had to pay alot to get those translated!!
* IELTS english test (was a pain in the ass. Had to pay alot to take the test, and had to travel to Oslo to take it..Was nervous like crazy to fail!)
* And my biggest problem so far......My high school diploma..Norwegian diploma is different from others it seems. So both schools Ive applied for didnt belive it was my real diploma lol. So both requested me to send my high school diploma. But HELLO this is my diploma!!! So after explaining them about 10000 times that this is my real diploma, sending them phone numer to my high school and stuff they finally belived me. Thank god!
This whole period of applying has been so stressful! And soooo confusing with all the paperworks and weird university webpages. Think I've been the most annoying person applying with sending the schools over 10000 mails asking for all kinda questions. I guess none of the schools will accept me just because I've annoyed them alot allready. They will think Im a stupid blonde norwegian.
Anyway. I still got one thing left to do before I can stop being stressed....I have interviews left! Because I can't go to korea to take university entrance test I need phone/online interview instead of test. Have no clue what they will ask me about. And I'm sure I will be so nervous when they call that I will speak english with an very weird norwegian accent ha ha. My first interview is in 3 days, so wish me good luck people. I really need it!!
And hopefully I will move back to Korea in August and this blog will start to be active again!!!
