It has been confirmed that 75% of applicants with records of school violence who applied to universities through the early admissions were rejected. Among those who applied to major universities in Seoul, 99% were rejected.
According to data obtained on the 16th, a total of 3,273 applicants with records of school violence applied to 170 four-year universities nationwide and received point deductions during the admission process. Among them, 2,460 (75%) were ultimately rejected. This means that three out of four applicants with records of school violence failed the application.
Almost none of the major universities in Seoul accepted applicants with records of school violence. Across 11 major universities in Seoul (Seoul National University, Yonsei University, Korea University, Sogang University, Sungkyunkwan University, Hanyang University, Ewha Womans University, Chung-Ang University, Kyunghee University, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, and the University of Seoul), 151 applicants received point deductions due to records of school violence. Of those, 150 (99%) were ultimately rejected, making it nearly impossible for applicant with records of school violence to enter top university in Seoul.
By university, Yonsei University and Korea University deducted points from 5 and 12 applicants respectively during the admission process, and rejected al of them. Sogang University and Sungkyunkwan University (3 each), Hanyang University (7), Ewha Womans University (1), Chung-Ang University (32), Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (14), and the University of Seoul (12) also rejected every single applicant who received point deductions for having school violence records. Kyunghee University rejected 61 out of 62 applicants with such records. Meanwhile, Seoul National University reported zero applicants with school violence records in this early admissions process.
Following Ministry of Education guidelines, universities are now required to reflect school violence records as a penalty factor in all early admissions process. While the degree of deduction varies by university, the higher the disciplinary action level means the greater the point deductions. Many universities have outright banned students with such records from applying. For students with multiple disciplinary actions, most universities apply the penalty based on the highest level of offense.
University officials explain that because admission is often decided by a margin of only one or two points, it is extremely difficult for applicants with school violence records to gain admission to their desired universities, regardless of the disciplinary level.
With the regular admission process currently underway, the number of rejected applicants with school violence records is expected to rise. As with the early admission process, regular admission process also required to apply point deductions for such records.
