Interview with Professor Curie AHN of SNU Hospital
February 14, 2014
Professor Curie AHN, a leading specialist in the field of immunology and transplant immunology, was interviewed by Kyunghyang Shinmun as part of a series of interviews with female doctors. Professor Ahn was the first female doctor in SNU Hospital’s Department of Internal Medicine and is a pioneer of Korean public health services, volunteering at the Raphael Center, a medical center for immigrants, for the past 18 years. The reason she became a doctor, she says, is because her mother was diagnosed with tuberculosis, a hard to cure disease when Prof. Ahn was a little girl. Professor Ahn is also a relentless scholar, having published more than 90 articles in medical journals. She stated that she wants to be a humane doctor, as reflected in her motto ‘God even looks after tiny, nameless flowers’.

Dr. Kim’s dissertation, titled “Design and Runtime Optimizations of Hybrid Electrical Energy Storage Systems”, was acclaimed as it used pre-existing devices for storing electricity in designing hybrid storage systems.

SNU Regular Admissions Procedure to Be Simplified with CSAT Scores as the Sole Criterion
February 16, 2014
For incoming students of the year 2015, their Korean College Scholastic Aptitude Test (CSAT) scores will be the sole criterion upon which admission through SNU’s regular admissions program will be based. SNU President Yeon-Cheon OH announced that essay writing tests and interviews will no longer be required for students applying for regular admissions. SNU stated that they could not find any significant difference between the academic achievements of students chosen based solely on CSAT scores and students chosen based on scores, essay writing and oral interviews combined. As many students and parents have complained about the increasingly complicated college admissions procedures, even resorting to overpriced private counseling and tutoring, SNU is abolishing unnecessary stages to alleviate the burden on prospective students.
