The Yanggu County government is providing one-on-one consulting for local high school seniors preparing for early admission interviews. The program focuses on helping students articulate their strengths and motivations based on their school records while practicing responses to actual interview questions.
According to Yanggu County, the "Tailored Interview Consulting for High School Seniors" will take place on the 17th, 24th, and 25th at the Lifelong Learning Center. Specialized consultants will guide students based on the characteristics of their chosen admission types and their preparation status.
During the consultations, students will review their school records, self-introductions, and motivations for applying to derive expected questions. They will then participate in mock interviews that simulate real interview conditions, receiving feedback on their responses. The program aims to help even first-time interviewees systematically prepare by reviewing their answer structure, speaking skills, and demeanor.
As of May 2026, data from School Information System indicates that there are 228 third-year students in general classes across three high schools in Yanggu: 66 at Yanggu High School, 67 at Yanggu Girls' High School, and 95 at Gangwon Foreign Language High School. This figure excludes students in special classes and is based on the number of enrolled students at the schools, separate from those participating in the consulting program.
Last year, the county collaborated with the Yanggu Education Support Office to provide tailored interview support. At that time, 29 applicants from Yanggu High School and Yanggu Girls' High School participated. The program was designed to guide students through expected questions and response writing techniques, with individual feedback provided by counselors from the Gangwon Admission Support Center.
Building on last year's guidance on expected questions and responses, this year’s program plans to conduct mock interviews tailored to each student's chosen university, major, and admission type. This approach aims to help students articulate their school experiences into specific answers, providing valuable opportunities for professional counseling and practical practice within the region.
Park In-sook, head of the Lifelong Education Department, stated, "Early admission interviews are a crucial opportunity for students to showcase their capabilities and preparation levels," emphasizing the importance of providing consulting opportunities to assist in systematic preparation. She added that the program aims to alleviate educational burdens for students and parents while supporting the growth of local talent.
