Any Experience with MBA from SKY University?

One thing the other replies gloss over is the timing of applications. SKY MBA programs have very early deadlines compared to US schools, usually around March or April for a fall start, and they expect a lot of paperwork upfront like notarized transcripts and recommendation letters in a specific format. If you're still in the US, budget for apostille processing on your degree documents, it can take weeks. Also, Yonsei's MBA has a separate track called the "Global MBA" that starts in September rather than March, which lines up better with US graduation schedules and has more English-heavy coursework from the start.

yeah so the language thing is real but honestly depends which SKY you pick. korea university's MBA is more english friendly than SNU or Yonsei from what i've seen, their global MBA track is basically all in english except for the first semester korean class. downside is the network is slightly less chaebol heavy than SNU but still solid for mid sized firms and startups

one thing nobody mentions is the timing of applications. SKY MBA programs have early admissions around april may for fall intake and if u wait till the regular round the scholarship money is gone. i'd budget around 40 million won total for the two years if you're paying sticker price, but most international students get 30-50% off if u apply early with a decent gmat

also if you're serious about staying long term start studying korean now, level 3 topik is the bare minimum for internships and level 4 is where you can actually network without a translator. the snu buddy program pairs u with a korean student which helps but u gotta put in the work outside class too

one practical thing: check if ur undergrad degree is from a school on the "special admissions" list for SKY. snu and yonsei both have fast-track application tracks for graduates of certain US universities, it cuts the paperwork time in half. also the korean government has a scholarship called GKS that covers full tuition plus a monthly stipend of about 1 million won, but you have to apply through the embassy track in the US, not directly to the school. deadline for that is usually february so you'd need to move fast

the whispering thing is real but its not about the sauce lol. that guy runs a 2am handoff with the chicken supplier, they drop off fresh birds from a farm near Chuncheon three times a week instead of using the frozen stuff most hongdae spots rely on. thats why the texture hits different, not the sauce itself. if u go back ask for the neck & wing combo off menu, its cheaper & honestly the best cut they do

the thing nobody mentions is that Dogdogdog's sauce gets its body from cheong, the Korean rice syrup, not sugar. thats why it coats the wing so thick and stays glossy instead of going sticky. i asked a guy who worked there and he said they also add a splash of maesil (plum) extract at the end off the heat. that fruity tang under the garlic is what you're tasting. go on a weekday before 6, weekends the wait hits 40 min easy.

honestly the "secret sauce" thing is prob just marketing. every fried chicken place in Seoul has a version of that story. the real difference at Dogdogdog is they double fry in rice bran oil and toss the wings in the sauce twice, once right out of the fryer and again after a 30 sec rest. thats where the crunch comes from, not some mystery ingredient. if u wanna taste the actual base, order the banban half plain half spicy and dip the plain one in the spicy sauce yourself.
