This one is easy to miss. Some universities admit you in English and still ask for a Korean level before they let you graduate, which shapes all four years. Confirm it before you accept a place.

No (CKLC counts at entry; sub-TOPIK-4 admits do 300-hr intensive Korean)
Interview
dept-optional (mandatory if no language docs; docs 30+lang 30+interview 40)
How selective
More accessible than SKY; DIS & popular languages competitive
