초록

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the current cadet application decision to explain the high turnover rates during the application process. Using the cross-section data on 2008 entrant cohort, a simple quality response regression model, the logit models, are estimated. The coefficient estimates suggest that regressors like sex and curriculum track do not have statistically significant influence on the decision to report for the interviews/non- academic tests (INATs) as well as test score and parental occupation. More interestingly, Gwangjoo applicants and older applicants are less likely to participate in the INATs in opposite to a common belief that older applicants must be more motivated to attend KMA than their counterparts. Based on the results, the current admission mechanism are advised to consider individual characteristics, such as, region of residence and age, and to devise a way to give sufficient incentives to top scorers so that they become more willing to enroll in KMA.
