The term is widely used in South Korea, both in the media and by the universities themselves.[2][3] Being admitted to one of the SKY universities is frequently seen as important to one's career and social position in the country. [4][5] The acronym also implies that the universities are extremely difficult to get into (i.e., students are reaching for the sky).
