KAIST Opens "Bridge Program" for Prospective Freshmen from General High Schools KAIST opened an academic study program to get the 150 prospective freshmen from general high schools ready for undergraduate course work at the tech university, university authorities said on Thursday (Sept. 3). The "Bridge Program" is designed to offer online courses in mathematics, physics and chemistry to help students without sufficient knowledge in those subjects. For the 2010 academic year, KAIST"s admission officers have chosen 150 prospective freshmen among a total of 651 students who had been recommended by their school principals. It is the first time that KAIST has alloted a certain number of freshman slots to applicants from general high schools. The system was designed to prevent elite high school graduates from taking a disproportionately large share of admissions. As a result, 91 high schools which never before had its student enter KAIST will have at least one enrolled in the university in the next academic year. Among the selected 150 students, 132 applied for mathematics course, 125 for physics and 116 for chemistry.
