In this study we conducted interviews, with students pursuing typical majors at K University, on adaptation to school life by type of admission. We then analyzed the differences between types of admission with regards to three aspects: participation in school life, satisfaction with school life, and learning performance. In-depth interview results showed differences between types of admission. First, for 'in-class activities' related to 'in-school life participation', students with a comprehensive school records screening prefer group activities through cooperation with others, while essay and CSAT admissions generally prefer individual activities. Second, in 'School Life Satisfaction' related to 'School Life Satisfaction' and 'Intention to Recommend for Schools(University) and departments', the general student in the student division replied that the recommendation for universities is large, while the essay and CSAT students answered that the recommendation for departments is large. Third, some students stated, with regards to 'study performance', that it was difficult for students to obtain grades in the early grades due to the structure of the curriculum of majors centered on basic math and science subjects, but there were opinions that the difference would decrease when high school grades were made due to continuous efforts such as high school records management. This was the same as the opinion in expert advice that students with comprehensive school records screening had excellent sincerity, leadership, and communication, and that students with essay/CSAT admissions had a good understanding of math and science as evidenced by their academic performance. We hope that the results of this study can be used as a reference for the future development of K University admission design, educational background enhancement and follow-up programs related to student participation.
