GAC Students from Korea Head to University in the U.S.

5 March 2007

GAC students who recently completed the program at RECAS Academy in Seoul, South Korea, are a step closer to achieving their goals.

Four of the students have successfully gained admission to GAC Pathway universities across the United States at Tulane University, Long Island University–CW Post Campus, Johnson & Wales University and Rowan University.

Chung Ji Yoon, who is off to Tulane University in Louisiana, said that "the GAC wasn't just about studying English. It included business, math and science taught in English. The presentations skills, debating and group discussions in the GAC has further prepared me for study in the U.S. It was tough at the beginning but now I am confident that I am fully prepared."

As the ACT Education Solutions' Korea Manager, Mark Shin, explained, "the U.S. is the number one choice as an international study destination for Korean students. The GAC provides the students with an excellent opportunity to reach their goals, particularly with the ACT as the exit test."

"The GAC program is the best program not only for English studies but because it makes studying itself interesting for students," said Kyoung Nam Lee who has been accepted into Rowan University in New Jersey. "If someone asks me the best thing about the GAC, then my answer is that it builds students' confidence to succeed at university. I can't wait to fly to the U.S. to meet my new friends at university. The GAC gave me the opportunity."
