2013학년도 서울대 정시 합격생 10명 중 7명이 강남 출신인 것으로 알려졌다.
서울대학교가 국회 교육문화체육관광위원회 소속 유기홍 민주당 의원에게 제출한 자료에 의하면, 2013학년도 서울대 정시모집에 합격한 서울 지역 일반고 학생 187명 가운데 131명이 강남구, 서초구, 송파구, 이른바 강남 3구 출신인 것으로 나타났다.
강남 3구 출신의 서울대 정시 합격률은 2011년 54.3%, 2012년 57.7%, 2013년에는 70.1%로 매년 증가하는 추세를 보이고 있다.
학교 소재지가 강남구에 집중되어 있는 현상에 대해 유 의원은 “일부 지역에 서울대 쏠림 현상을 완화하기 위해 학군 개편을 검토할 때”라고 지적했다.

New Gangnam style: students dominate admission for top college
High school students from the affluent Gangnam area in Seoul are strengthening their dominance on the admission roster for Korea’s top university, a lawmaker’s report showed on Wednesday.
In a report by Rep. Yoo Ki-hong of the main opposition Democratic Party, seven out of 10 high school graduates from Seoul that were accepted to the prestigious Seoul National University came from the three Gangnam districts: Gangnam-gu, Seocho-gu and Songpa-gu.
Out of the total 187 Seoul-based students who made it into the state-run university, 131 students live in the posh Gangnam area widely known for the residents’ zeal for providing top-quality education to their kids.
The district is also a favorite residential area for the country’s wealthy and powerful including lawmakers, top executives, professors and doctors.
Notably, the ratio of Gangnam-based students among successful applicants for SNU climbed to 70.1 percent this year, up from 57.7 percent in 2012 and 54.3 percent in 2011.
“A review is needed to overhaul school districts to prevent certain areas from dominating the admissions for SNU,” said Rep. Yoo Ki-hong.
