2028 College Admissions Plan Puts School Grades at Center of Top-Tier Race

Admissions plans for the 2028 school year have been announced for 218 universities nationwide, making high school records a key variable for top-tier applicants. According to the source text, the 2028 admissions cycle will apply both a revised five-grade school record system and changes to the national college entrance exam. The report says the share of regular admissions at leading universities will be sharply reduced. In Seoul-area universities, the regular admissions share stands at 36.2%, compared with 10.2% in regional universities. As a result, managing school grades during high school may become more important than a strategy centered on retaking the exam. This article cites mk.co.kr.
