How the South Korea system works
Korean universities assess transcripts directly and usually require Apostille-certified documents. Most use a 4.5 scale (some 4.3 or 4.0).
Is it competitive?
Most South Korea master's programmes look for the equivalent of a US 3.0+ (an upper-second / good average), with competitive and funded programmes wanting more. Convert first, then check each programme's stated minimum. For a credit-weighted multi-course result, use the WES iGPA calculator.
