Analysis of the Relationship between the Prepared College Admission Type, the Utilized College Admission Type, and College Entrance Results

In this study, the college admissions type(AT) was classified into including the student recordᐨcurricula admission system(CURI), the comprehensive student card adminission system (COMP), and the regular admissions system(RA) and the relationship between the college preparation type and college admission performance was analyzed by distinguishing between AT prepared during high school and AT actually used in college admission. For this, using data from the 8th and 9th years of the Korean Education Longitudinal Study 2013, we analyzed. First, AT was different depending on gender, family background, academic records, and high school characteristics. Second, most CURI and RA students used the corresponding admission process, but high rates of COMP students used other admissions methods. Third, the probability of entering metropolitan universities(MU), compared to local private universities (LPR), was higher in the order of COMP, RA, and CURI but when considering SAT and college entrance exams(EX), there was no difference between COMP and RA. There was no difference in the probability of entering a local public university(LPU) compared to LPR between ATs. The results on the probability of entering MU were similar in the analysis with AT actually used, but there was some difference in the probability of entering LPU by AT actually used. Based on these results, it is necessary to further subdivide the guidance for students taking admissions, and in particular, in the case of COMP, it was suggested that CURI and RA be prepared as well.
