Of those who participated in “The 1st KUBS Teen Mentoring Day” in 2015, four mentees became the Entering Class of 2017 at Korea University Business School (KUBS). met Minsuk Kim (right) and Geon Choi (left) to hear their stories.
Q. What made you apply for “The 1st KUBS Teen Mentoring Day?”
Minsuk: My high school teacher saw the notice about the KUBS Teen Mentoring Day and recommended it to me since I had shown interest in Business Administration. I also thought it would be a good experience and decided to participate in the event.
Geon: I had been interested in Korea University and used to collect various information through its website. Since there were many applicants, I was worried about not being able to participate, but thankfully I was able to join as a mentee.
Q. What did you gain through the KUBS Teen Mentoring Day?
Minsuk: The New Product Development and Investment Program and Business Negotiation Training Program held during the Mentoring Day were most memorable. Through such activities, I became more attracted to the field of Business Administration. Moreover, the various and exceptional programs offered by KUBS and the high percentage of students receiving scholarships — which I heard from the student ambassadors — were very appealing. As a result, I became more certain of my goal to attend KUBS after participating in the Mentoring Day.
Geon: The Business Negotiation Training Program had the largest impression on me as well. Each one of us had to play the role of a department head, debate, and draw a conclusion in one hour. That process was very new to me. I was able to think deeply about my designated role and learn more what Business Administration really is through the process of communicating between different departments. My experience that day was a big motivation when writing my college essay and helped me a lot in understanding Business Administration.
Q. After entering KUBS, what was the most enjoyable memory of your college life during the past month?
Minsuk: I enjoyed hanging out with my college friends the most. I feel like a day goes by so fast when I take the same classes and hang around with them. Of all the school events, the cheering orientation was especially unforgettable because we got to learn the school’s fight songs while rooting for the school with arms around each other’s shoulders. Also, the joint cheering orientation was wonderful as it let us socialize and get together with students from Yonsei University.
Geon: For me, wearing my high school uniform and having Joong-jja (eating Black Bean Sauce Noodles on the Central Square’s grass) with my friends on April Fools’ Day were most memorable. Also, when we first got our school jackets, my friends and I were really happy and said “we are now officially Korea University students.” Although I was a bit shy at the cheering orientation but it was fun. I am especially attached to Korea University’s cheering culture since it was the first of its kind that I came across in high school.
Q. Do you have any words to prospective KUBS students preparing for college application?
Minsuk: KUBS is a place where students can do and enjoy lots of things. Prospective KUBS students, effort will never betray you! You might feel exhausted and stressed out now, but if you continue to do your best, you will experience a wonderful college life at KUBS. I look forward to the day we meet.
Geon: When I bought books during my last year of high school, I wrote “KUBS” on the cover page and then studied. So, I made people think of “Geon Choi” when they talk about “Korea University.” I was able to enter KUBS because I believed in myself and was confident that I could do it.
