So what I did during the process of sending application to Ewha were

1. Translating all my certificates including my birth certs, parents birth certs, academic and non academic certs during elementary school, middle and high school.
2.      Get verifications from Malaysian embassy in Korea stating that all my documents are true.
3.     Don't forget to attach your TOPIK result.Minimum  Level 3 required for application.
4.     Go to http://www.uwayapply.com join to be member and follow all steps and you can choose language. Lepas tu boleh buat payment dari website tu jugak.
5.     Untuk application saya buat essays pasal self introductions, expectation about  Ewha and subjek yg akan dipelajari, like apa yg anda lihat dalam diri anda dlam msa 10 tahun akan dtg. Agak cerewet lah. ehe. =.=

Time sy apply to saya dah dekat Korea so masa apply tu hantar borang direct pergi x buat post2 pun. dan biasanya kalau memang dri Malaysia tu kena mintak verifications dekat Korean embassy. lagi satu kalau malas nak cari rumah boleh apply dormitory. and ouhh don't forget to apply for scholarship as well ;D. You may my refer my post about residential at here! sini sini! hehhe

My advices untuk yg nak apply ewha ni:

1.     If you want to apply for engineering course and considering ABEEK ( accreditation board engineering of Korea) is important, you have to make some research about the courses offered.
2.      Before going to university or enroll as an undergraduate students I advise you to complete your Korean classes first until 4-6th Level of proficiency because it is really helpful.. However, it still difficult to adapt in class because the terms are different ㅠㅠ
3.     Once u had applied, u can't get your application fees back.  
4.     Please don't miss the due date!
5.     If you have problems in term of payment or something you can email them at ienter.ewha@ac.kr
