Got in to Beginning Korean! Doing backflips! Anybody else headed to Jeonju?

According to the website, "approximately one third" are advanced to the next round. The congrats letter said there were more than 5200 applications, so if the 1/3 ratio holds, there are still more than 1700 of us! Damn.

Just heard back too and passed the first round for Beginning Korean! Holy cow, I was not concerned one way or the other about this--thrilled to get it, fine without it--but now the levels of advancement have my stomach in knots.

I also applied for Beginner's Korean--pulling for both of us!
