Admission officers at Carnegie Mellon University have woken up to a rude surprise that revealed loopholes used to gain access to the prestigious private college in Pittsburgh.
When they opened up an envelope with a Phoenix cover, they certainly weren’t expecting a recommendation letter from a former Korean President, Kim Young Sam. To prove the authenticity of the letter, the Korean Times succeeded in reaching aides of the former President, who replied "neither former President Kim nor his office has ever made such a recommendation for anybody."
According to sources provided by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, the number of Korean international students studying abroad reached 243,224 in 2009, and 69,124 of them are currently studying in the US. Jennifer Lee, a senior in the US, complained about the competition among Korean students to gain access to Ivy League colleges and prestigious public universities. “No matter how hard I try, there is always someone out there who has better scores and essays than me.”



Korean society is known to focus only on entering college, not graduating. This greatly affects the minds of young students studying abroad. The extent that some students go through in order to gain access to prestigious colleges is indescribable. One of the `loop-holes` in the US college entrance system that Korean students target is entrance to an art school. Mr. Kim, a graduate of HongIk Art University, still remembers his entrance exam. "I sat there. The professor sat in front of me. They asked me to draw a picture instantly. I got nervous so I almost peed in my pants." Luckily, Korean students who wish to gain admission to American art schools never have to experience this.
In the US, in order to apply to art school, you only need to turn in a portfolio normally consisting of 15-20 works
