It’s good to hear that my hopefully-will-be-attending university SNU is extending its admissions to students based on more than the infamous national test. I am a firm believer that although scholastic grades and scores do work pretty well in differentiating students, other factors can unearth diamonds-in-the-rough. While they had already started this policy somewhat, they are going to expand the hand-picked students to 39% of admitted students starting in 2011.
