One of the debates regarding the college admission systems is about which admissions screening works as a mechanism for social mobility, between early and regular admissions. This study attempted to contribute to related discussions by analyzing the income level of college admissions students according to the admissions screening (early vs. regular admissions) using data from the third year survey of the Korean Education & Employment Panel II (KEEP II). Analyzing the dataset, we found that parental income was almost the same between students admitted from early and regular admissions. To be specific, average monthly parental income was 586.4 million Korean Won for students admitted from early admission while it was 585.4 million Korean Won for those admitted from regular admission, which means that the difference between the two was neither practically nor statistically significant. Applying the chi-square test, we tested whether the relationship between parental income and types of college admissions and found no statistical significance. Finally, categorizing colleges where students are admitted by ranking, we compared parental incomes among students. We found that parental income was higher for top-ranked universities, and that parental income was higher for students admitted from early admission. We concluded that early admission can possibly be an admission system for "well-offs" between the two, and that early admission may not be working as a pathway to facilitate social mobility compared to the regular admissions.

In the current information-based society, information and communication technology(ICT) is very important for an individual, a society, and a nation. Especially, for a nation, ICT-related industries are forming an important part of a nation's economy. Also, unlike other industries, ICT-related industries do not require various infrastructures, and have an advantage of being developed with a few talented persons in a short period of time. In this sense, identification and education of gifted children in IT become an essential task of a nation's future. In the past, selection of the gifted children was based on paper tests. However, paper tests incurred various side effects such as private education. Since 2013, observation-recommendation system instead of paper tests has been fully adopted. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the validity of observation-recommendation admission system of the gifted children in IT. For this research purpose, the gifted children in gifted science education center attached in a university at Seoul become the focus of the samples. Their entrance score ranking and graduation record raking are compared for analysis of validity of admission system. After statistical analysis, there is a meaningful correlation between entrance score ranking and graduation record ranking for the gifted children in IT. It means that the higher entrance score ranking, the higher graduation record ranking. The analysis results are expected to be valuable baseline data for deciding usefulness of observation-recommendation admission system.

Diversification of college admission system has recently brought up the problem of system fairness. Studies on fairness of college admission system mainly focused on policy proposal or investigation of teacher's perception. Different from previous works, this study aims to analyze college students' perceptions of fairness of the current college admission system. This study used grounded theory and interviews from eleven students. Results of analysis are as follows. Causal condition proved to be frequent change in admission system happened in the course of diversifying admission criteria. The core phenomenon is fundamental unfairness in both procedural and substantive aspects of admission system. Contextual condition is information and infrastructure asymmetry among students which has a root in regional gap in Korea. Mediatory condition is advance of information technology and individual or group effort to overcome disadvantages. In conclusion, students consider that unfairness in college admission system reflects social structural problems that cannot be solved in a one-time prescription.
