What activities do I need to pass GKS?
This is a common question among my students and those who are in our free communities: discord and facebook. So in this issue, I will reveal to you what I tell my private coaching students.
High-Value Certificates, Awards, and Documents
1. International Competitions or Conferences
Participation in or awards from international competitions or conferences directly related to your major are highly regarded. They demonstrate not only your expertise but also your engagement with the global community in your field.
2. Internship
Internships, especially those in organizations well-known in your field, provide practical experience and show your ability to apply academic knowledge in real-world situations.
3. Job/Work Certificate
Certificates from relevant employment, particularly in roles closely aligned with your major, highlight your professional experience and practical skills.
4. Research Paper
Publishing a research paper, especially in a recognized journal, shows your ability to conduct in-depth study and contribute original ideas to your field.
5. Leadership Positions/Founding an Organization
Holding a leadership role or founding an organization, particularly one relevant to your major, demonstrates initiative, management skills, and a deep commitment to your field.
6. Research Assistant Proof
Being a research assistant is a testament to your research skills and subject matter knowledge, and any proof of this role is valuable.
7. Published Citation
If your name has been cited in a publication like a newspaper for achievements related to your major, it adds credibility and recognition to your profile.
8. Published Book
Authoring a book related to your field showcases your in-depth knowledge and ability to communicate complex ideas.
9. High-Quality Portfolio for Art Majors
For art majors, a portfolio displaying your best work is essential. It visually demonstrates your talent, creativity, and development as an artist.
10. Funding Grants
Receiving grants for your projects or studies, especially from recognized bodies, indicates trust in your capabilities and the significance of your work.
Medium-Value Certificates, Awards, and Documents
1. Volunteering
Volunteering, especially in roles related to your major, shows commitment to community service and personal development.
2. Champion/1st Place in Unrelated Activities
Winning in extracurricular activities shows a well-rounded personality, but if they're unrelated to your major, their academic value might be lower.
3. Speakership/Participation Certificates
Certificates for participating or speaking at events can add value, especially if they are related to your major or demonstrate skills like public speaking.
4. Online Courses
Certificates from online courses can demonstrate a commitment to continuous learning, particularly if they're relevant to your field.
5. Online Competitions
Participation in or winning online competitions can be valuable, especially if they are relevant to your major.
Low-Value Certificates, Awards, and Documents
1. Unrelated Non-First Place Items
Achievements not related to your major and not at the first-place level typically carry less weight.
2. Online Articles
Writing online articles can be valuable, but they might hold less academic weight unless published in recognized forums or journals.
