Abstract

As an important part of the higher education enrollment system in China, the independent admission policy has always attracted much attention. Whether the students with stronger ability are selected and whether fairness is taken into account during the independent admission are the focus of this paper. Using freshmen data from a top-40 university in western China, this study analyzed independent admission selection results by factor analysis and logistic regression method. It shows that student ability and family background have a great impact on the independent admission results. Students who have stronger abilities have been selected, and students with higher family economic status in the city are more likely to be accepted during independent admission. It can be seen that the selection efficiency of independent admission is high, but there is still space for promoting the fairness of independent admission.
