In order to subjectively analyze the admission officer`s standards that vary according to the relevant majors, this research looks at two aspects. First subject is the difference between what the admission officer perceives as necessary qualities of a successful candidate against what the actual candidate believes. The second part studies whether the current student`s required competency varies according to the majors. The result of the research revealed the different ideas between the admission officers and the accepted candidates regarding the necessary qualities of a successful candidate. Also, candidates who were accepted under the Admission Officer System were better aware of the required qualities than candidates accepted under different programs. This research also showed that the current student`s understanding of required competencies varies according to their majors. Of the 11 competencies which were the subject of this analysis, “Substantial reading activities and literary knowledge” and “Leadership” stood out as core competencies for the Department of Korean Language and Literature and the Department of Political Science and Diplomacy, relatively. The core competencies of the 10 majors were based on what the current students recognized as required competencies. Finally, the implications, limits and further directions of this research are suggested.
