An Exploration of Admissions-Related Practices from Institutions' Admissions Web Pages and Implications for Equity
2023
Overview
This study investigates current practices in how admissions policies are communicated through student-facing web pages. One hundred fifty web pages (30 institutions, 5 admissions web pages each, stratified by degree-level and major) were scraped for information about holistic admissions policies and required application materials. Overall, more holistic language was used in undergraduate web pages than graduate web pages, particularly among nonminority serving institutions (MSIs). Graduate web pages required more application materials than undergraduate web pages, with more materials required for graduate web pages that used holistic language. Additionally, undergraduate web pages that used holistic language identified more qualitative cutoffs (e.g., identifying relative importance of application components, in-depth discussion of how factors are balanced) than the web pages that did not use holistic language. The paper concludes with a discussion of directions for future research and of best practices and practical takeaways for admissions officers to help increase equity in admissions.
