In class essay: Is it fair that Korean universities have special admissions based upon financial contributions?

In the United States, many universities have an admission policy based on financial contributions which universities in Korea don’t have at all. Recently, it has been a hot issue that Korean universities should also make the policy. However, the policy cannot be established in Korea because of its university system.

The finance-contributed admission system is common in the US, and there has not been a big problem with it. In fact, the main reason why it’s common is because entering universities is not difficult compared with graduating. Therefore, students don’t feel unfair even if some students enter universities not based on their own ability but their parents’ money.

In Korea, on the other hand, the system is totally different. Being accepted to be university students is much harder than graduating from universities. Moreover, most people eager to attend high-level universities. As a result, entering universities causes a lot of competition because it guarantees for university students to receive bachelor degrees in general. Therefore, the policy based on financial contributions cannot be fair.

To sum up, the university admission system in Korea cannot enable the policy to be accepted because of the difference with the system in the US. Therefore, unless the system changes to make entering universities much easier, the contributed admission is not acceptable in Korea.
