Accuracy of information
The recommendation score shows how well your inputs match a university's information. It is not a probability of admission. KUMP is not a university or a government body, so final decisions rest with each university and the immigration office.
Visa and school rules change often. Each guide shows its last-checked date and links to official sources such as Hi Korea and the universities, so please confirm before you apply.
