English Makes a Doctor?

In Korea, it is not so easy to become a medical doctor. First of all, medical doctors must pass an extremely difficult entrance examination to go to medical college.
However, now, high school students who excel in English can bypass that rigorous exam and become a medical student. Kyunghee University in Seoul announced, on October 19, that its medical school including the traditional medicine college will select a portion of freshmen regardless of the state-run scholatic achievement examination for college entrance. It will make its choice based solely on results of TOEIC(Test of English for International Communication) or TOEFL(Test of English as a Foreign Language) beginning the next school year. This special selection process will begin on November 10 when applications are begun to be accepted.
Through this special process, four students for the medical college, two students for the dental college, and four students for the traditional medicine college will be selected.
Every student who applies should have high marks in their major highschool subjects and scored over 820 points in TOEIC or 560 points in TOEFL.
Kyunghee University has already introduced this kind of special selection system into its six colleges including the English faculty and the business administration college last year.
