Admission
Admission to Konkuk Law is highly selective: For the class entering in 2009, there were approximately 304 applicants, of which 40 were admitted. 22 applicants had a perfect TOEIC score and the median composite LEET score was around 115. The applicants were varied; there were many who come from U.S. and Canadian universities as well as U.S. licensed attorneys. About 2/3 were male.
The applicants were evaluated based on their undergraduate GPA, LEET (standardized law school admission exam), admissions essays and personal/case interviews. Konkuk Law also gave one and half hour written exam which tests the applicants analytical skills. Interviews were conducted by five faculty members who evaluate the applicant's personal merit and logical skills.
Seoul National University produced the largest number of acceptance- twelve, followed by Yonsei University, eleven and Korea University and Ewha Woman's University each producing two. Sogang University, Hongik University, Chung-Ang University, Sookmyung Women's University, Pusan National University, George Washington University, University of California, Berkeley each had one acceptance.
Interestingly, only 15% of them majored in law as undergraduate- the percentage of L.L.B (bachelor of law), those who studied law in college is much higher in other schools, such as Korea University where the ratio was 59%. The overall percentage of LLB in all schools is 33.7%.
