<p>OWNAGE!! HEAD SHOT!</p>
<p>Maybe they only let the really smart kids take the test.</p>
<p>If you are talking about North Korea, kingjoker54's comment would be even more true. The North Koreans probably have those camps where they train tests takers just to rape the American tests so that they can "bring honor to their great communist country" and prove that "capitalism is inferior to communism" because "we pwned their tests...."
and all the other Soviet Russia cliches during the Cold War....</p>
<p>no sir, korean students are simply elite...</p>
<p>I couldn't or shouldn't blame them. I would say it is good that they are doing their best in their studies and for their future admissions to top US colleges like Harvard, not like Grinnell. And I am also thankful that colleges don't just seek numbers from us.</p>
<p>I am also thankful that colleges don't just seek numbers from us.</p>
<p>they actually do...</p>
<p>Tsenguun, how is Grinnell not a top college? I myself applied to Grinnell.</p>
<p>That score is only applied to MinSa Highschool, which is one of the best highschools in the world.</p>

<p>That is not true. This article is a example of a small population of the korean kids. If you take into account their whole population, there average would be more like a 1300, less than that of America. If you take the average sat scores of kids at like andover or something, then they would have the same sat average. So basically, Koreans are not elite.</p>
<p>^ lol exactly. Only the top scorers get publicized in thier media.</p>
<p>I'm a korean myself, but posting this article isn't making me any proud...school is not the only place where you learn things...</p>
<p>^ you haven't seen worse. Those moronic statements of this type made in communist china make me want to puke.</p>
<p>One or two schools do not define the whole Korean population... Not to mention only a select few people in Korea even take the SAT's, skewing the results. Anybody with a basic knowledge of statistics knows this.</p>
<p>First of all, that "average" was 2203, not 2290. Second of all (now you'd actually have to read a paragraph or two above this), this is the average score for "the 2008 class of Daewons Global Leadership Program."</p>
<p>liebenasuka, or should I say sinophobic ****tard. What's with the hating on Chinese people? And what's with this post of the average Korean SAT score? So what if Koreans are smart? Just cause they are smart doesn't mean that they will try to take over the world and kill all white people or something.</p>
<p>"Just cause they are smart doesn't mean that they will try to take over the world and kill all white people or something." </p>
<p>lmfao. no here said that. nice account name though lol.</p>
<p>Tsengunn,</p>
<p>Especially in reference to avg. SAT/ACT scores, Grinnell is a top college. The avg. ACT score for last year was 31, and the avg. SAT was 1360 (out of 1600). If you compare the SAT/ACT ranges of Cornell University and Grinnell, you won't find a huge difference. Anyway, I see your point in the idea that Koreans may have a preference for more well-known places like Ivy League schools, but it's kind of silly to use a great college like Grinnell as an example of a school that isn't worth achieving a high SAT score to attend.</p>

<p>Well, well, mister Anglophobic tard, read carefully before you post a swear word. Did I say I hate Chinese people as in the race? No.If you read between the lines, I was commenting on the government and the way they behave(making up news to show that they are superior).
Just for your information, Chinese people aren't all in China. China is a country in Asia in case you are not sure about what I'm talking about here. Chinese people are everywhere on the planet. Commenting only those in China(the counrty) doesn't affect the entire chinese population. Remember, China is just one of the places where chinese people live...
Amen
I'm not sure what part of the world you are from, but the way you sensitively jumped at my mild comment and the way you used a swear word showed that you, unfortunately, is probably one of the aforementioned type.</p>
<p>I'd feel terrible, it'd be like normal percentile-95, your school's percentile-26</p>
<p>i dont know how north korea got into this topic because the article is talking about south korea. north korea does not promote education that well.</p>
