Designing Opportunity in Higher Education: Evidence from Student Choices and Admissions Policies

Cel

ELEVATE investigates a central driver of inequality: who gets into which college—and the downstream impacts on graduation, earnings, and social mobility. The project leverages two structural shifts reshaping access and success in higher education. First, governments now publish course-level indicators of access rates, admissions criteria, value-added, and earnings, substantially reducing information frictions and changing how students—especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds—choose where to apply. Second, universities are moving from score-based admission policies to holistic admissions that weigh non-academic factors alongside grades and tests.

Building on these transformations, ELEVATE addresses three essential questions: (1) Pipeline: How much enrolment inequality stems from where students apply versus how institutions admit? (2) Applications: Can targeted, personalised information on course returns, social mobility, admission chances, and peer composition re-route applications and reduce inequalities in admission? (3) Admissions: How much could holistic admissions raise graduation and earnings?

Methodologically, ELEVATE will assemble a unique cross-national pipeline dataset linking applications, offers, and enrolments across twelve countries; link college application records to long-term earnings data; design and implement large-scale surveys, embed randomised information interventions; and exploit admission-policy reforms for causal identification.

The project will deliver novel estimates of where the pipeline leaks, how targeted information shift student choices, and which admission rules best align talent with opportunity. Together, the four projects will build a unified, contemporary account of how applications and admissions interact to shape equity and success in higher education.
