What you get

Six services. Buy them as a package or, for some, on their own.

Free assessment

30 minutes in English. We tell you what is realistic and whether we can help.

We review your academic background, budget, and goals. We also confirm whether the service is available in your country. Nothing is sold in this call.

Korea University Match Report

Three universities matched to you — costs, scholarships, timeline, living — plus a one-hour consultation.
$199

A written report you can act on: university profile and IEQAS status, recommended department, full cost by TOPIK level, dormitory, what the area is like, application dates, and the exact document list. One re-recommendation included. The amount you pay is credited in full toward any package.

Document consulting and submission

We tell you what to prepare, check everything, and submit your application from Busan.
$249

Guidance on every required document, review before anything goes out, submission by GEA to the university, follow-up until the university confirms. If not admitted, one additional application at no extra cost. After admission you ship your originals to us by DHL; we check them and deliver them to the university.

Personal statement in Korean

You answer in your language. We draft it in Korean. You approve it.
$179 · $349

Korean universities expect a personal statement and study plan in Korean. You tell us your story in your own language through a structured questionnaire; we structure and draft it in Korean; you review, revise, and give final approval. $349 for highly competitive universities, where a detailed interview precedes drafting.

Korean interview training

Five one-to-one hours, taught in English, so you can explain your own statement.
$249

Self-introduction, why Korea, your study plan — in Korean, for your online university interview. Five one-hour sessions with a certified Korean language teacher. Instruction in English, so beginners can join. Valid three months.

Visa consulting

After admission. Step-by-step guidance and a document review before you submit.
$149

Available once you hold an offer of admission — from us or from anywhere else. We guide you through the route that applies to your university and nationality and review your documents. You submit the application yourself.

For March 2027 intake, most Korean universities close applications between October and November 2026. Document certification alone takes four to six weeks. If you are reading this in September, you are on time — but not early.

We can't promise a seat. We can promise you'll be ready for one.

Admission is the university's decision. A visa is Korean immigration's. Anyone who guarantees either is selling something they do not control.

What we control is everything before that decision — which universities you apply to, how your documents look, what your statement says, how you sound in the interview, and that the application actually arrives. That is where our work goes.

Rejected? We support one more application at no extra cost.

합격은 대학이 정합니다. 준비는 우리가 책임집니다. 탈락 시 1회 추가 지원을 무상으로 제공합니다.

Questions

Can you guarantee I will be admitted?

No. No one can. What we can do is make your application as strong as it can be, submit it properly from Korea, and support a second application if the first is not successful.

Who submits my application?

We do, from Busan. You prepare documents with our guidance and send them to us; we check and submit. After admission you ship originals to us by DHL and we deliver them to the university.

Do I have to speak Korean?

Not to work with us. Everything is in English. Your statement is written in Korean, and the interview training teaches you to speak it.

How do I pay?

By card through PayPal, or by international bank transfer against an invoice. Each step is a separate payment; you never pay everything at once. A payment link is issued after your free assessment.

Is this available in my country?

In most countries, yes. We confirm during the free assessment. Not currently available to nationals or residents of India, Sri Lanka, or Vietnam, who are served through GEA's local channels there.
