This is the story of how I applied to Chulalongkorn University, but before we get in to the story I would to share with you first why did I choose to study here and its history.
Brief History
Chulalongkorn University is the first higher education institution in Thailand it is one of the most prestigious university in Thailand. Founded by King Vajiravudh with the name of Royal Pages School, then King Vijiravudh later changed the name to Civil Service College of King Chulalongkorn naming after his father King Chulalongkorn, and later it became university and renamed to Chulalongkorn University.
Why Did I Choose This University
As I’ve mention Chulalongkorn University is if not the most one of the most prestigious university in Thailand ranking 1st nationally most of the time passed, it is almost every Thai students’ dream to join this university. In addition my aunt also studied here too and she have a condo near the university and it makes transportation easier for me.
How I applied
First I went on to see the requirement in the major website, the major I choose is Biotechnology (This is the first year this major open too meaning that I will be the first batch of this major) the requirement for biotech early admission round are:
- GPAX minimum of 2.75 and have taken at least one course in Biology.
- Math test score
| CU-AAT (Chulalongkorn University Academic Aptitude Test) (Math Section) | at least | 450 | or |
| SAT (Math) | at least | 490 | or |
| SAT II (Subject Test) (Math Level 2) | at least | 600 |

| CU-AAT (Chulalongkorn University Academic Aptitude Test) (Verbal Section) | at least | 400 | or |
| CU-TEP (Chulalongkorn University Test of English Proficiency) | at least | 80 |
I have taken all these tests before and it meet the requirement so I apply using
SAT (Math) 570
IELTS 7
***I think that my score are relatively low compare to other students because I saw in the Facebook group that one student got 700 in SAT Subject Math and another student got 1350 in SAT and 780 in math part and compare to my score it very high. ***
and thats it I sent all the document to their Academic Affair department wait for interview announcement and go for interview. The selection criteria are Math score 30% English score 30% and Interview 40%, so even though you got low in some test you still have chance to be admitted in to this major.
