KU Ranks #7 in “Korea’s Top 10 Brands”
Konkuk University (KU) ranked seventh as the top university in the country following Seoul National University, Yonsei University, Korea University, Hanyang University, and Ewha Women’s University. According to Realmeter, which surveys “Korea’s Top 10 Brands,” 3.6 percent of the Korean public named KU when they were asked to identify a university for recommendation. The results were based on interviews with randomly selected national samples of 500 adults, 19 years or older, conducted November 5, 2015. One can say with 95 percent confidence that the margin of error is ±4.4 percentage points.
College Applicants Vote KU #8 
When college applicants were asked which school they wanted to attend regardless of their current academic performance, Konkuk University (KU) ranked #8. In a survey conducted by daehac.com, 11.2% of the 987 applicants chose KU. The improved ranking appears to have challenged the traditionally strong preference for Seoul National University, Yonsei University, Korea University, Sogang University, Sungkyunkwan University, Hanyang University, Chungang University, Kyunghee University, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, and University of Seoul in that order. In fact, the difference between KU and Kyunghee, which ranked #5 in the survey, was a mere 1.1%p.
KU ranked #7 among both male and female applicants. In terms of performance on the college entrance exam, KU ranked #11 among Grade 1 applicants, but ranked #8 among Grade 2-3 applicants. Grade 4 applicants chose KU only after Yonsei. 
The survey was conducted on college applicants who attended the “Information Session on 2016 Regular Decision” hosted by the Korean Council for University Education at Coex during December 2-6, 2015. Of the applicants who participated in the survey, 94% resided in Seoul and the capital area and 41.1% were male. They received an average grade of 2.98 for Korean, Math, and English on the 2015 college entrance exam.
