With the completion of the 2025 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), the final journey for applicants aiming to be admitted to Inha University has begun. This year, Inha University has made several important changes to its admission process, making thorough preparation even more crucial for applicants. In particular, the establishment of the 'Frontier Creative College' and the abolition of mandatory CSAT subject restrictions are noteworthy changes. This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the major changes in the 2025 rolling and regular admissions at Inha University and present successful support strategies after the CSAT.
In the 2025 rolling admissions at Inha University, the 'Inha Future Talent' screening, a comprehensive student record-based screening, will proceed with 100% documents in stage 1, and 70% documents and 30% interviews in stage 2. The medical school will select approximately three times the number of applicants in stage 1. The 'Regional Balance' screening will select 648 students and apply the CSAT minimum academic requirements, but there is no limit on the number of recommendations per high school. In particular, the CSAT minimum academic requirements for the medical school have been eased to a total of 4 grades within 3 subjects (reflecting the average of 2 subject grades). In addition, the restriction on mandatory CSAT subjects has been lifted in all departments, allowing applicants who have taken probability and statistics or social studies to apply to natural science departments.
In the rolling admissions, the fulfillment of the CSAT minimum academic requirements significantly affects the outcome. Therefore, you should carefully analyze your CSAT scores and cautiously select the applicable screening. Comprehensive student record-based screening applicants should emphasize their basic academic abilities, career exploration abilities, and community abilities based on their school records and must prepare thoroughly for interviews. The essay screening combines 70% essay scores and 30% school record grades, so focusing on improving essay skills is necessary.
The regular admissions mainly use the general screening, which reflects 100% of the CSAT scores. Korean and mathematics reflect standard scores, English reflects the grade-specific self-calculated scores, and the exploration area utilizes the self-converted standard scores using the percentile of 2 subjects. Especially this year, there have been significant changes, including the change in the self-calculated scores for the English area and the integrated calculation of the exploration area converted standard scores for both social studies and science studies. Korean history is not penalized up to grade 4 and has been changed to a grade-specific penalty system.
In the natural science departments, a 3% bonus is awarded for choosing calculus/geometry, and a 3% bonus is awarded for choosing science exploration, while in humanities departments, a 3% bonus is applied to the exploration area converted standard scores when choosing social studies. Therefore, you should carefully consider your CSAT scores and bonus points to determine the advantages and disadvantages. In addition, the 'Frontier Creative College' offers two types (A and B) that allow applicants to choose the CSAT reflection ratio that is advantageous to them, so it is important to select the type that is optimal for you. As Inha University selects students from all groups of recruitment (Ga, Na, Da), it is essential to establish a support strategy for each recruitment group.
The 'Frontier Creative College,' newly established in 2025, consists of the Liberal Arts and Convergence Department (Humanities/Natural Sciences) and the Convergence Departments by each college (Engineering, Natural Sciences, Business, Social Sciences, Humanities), broadening the scope of major selection. Newly established cutting-edge fields such as the integrated departments such as the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the Secondary Battery Convergence Department, and the Advanced Bio-Pharmaceutical Science Department are future promising fields, and strategic access is needed as initial admission results may be low. It is important to obtain accurate information by checking the latest admission guidelines and admission information videos provided on the Inha University Admissions Office website.
While there have been several changes in the 2025 Inha University admissions, you can achieve good results with thorough information analysis and the establishment of a strategy that suits you. Refer to the mock support results, carefully check the final admission guidelines, and actively utilize official channels such as the Inha University Admissions Office (https://admission.inha.ac.kr/intro.do) and the University Information Portal 'Where' (https://www.adiga.kr/). Inha University supports the efforts of all applicants to lead to valuable results.
