Working repo for my MS thesis, “The College Application Problem,” at Seoul National University. You can download the PDF (thesis/paper-en.pdf or thesis/paper-ko.pdf) in your preferred language, or clone the repo and run make to build from the LaTeX source.
If you found this research useful, please consider citing either our arXiv paper or this thesis:

I’d prefer that you use this GitHub repo as the URL (so that I can fix typos 🤣), but if your style guide requires an “official” link, you can use http://www.dcollection.net/handler/snu/000000172202, which comes from the SNU thesis archive. The Korean text there matches the v0.1.0 release tagged here.
