Dynamic Decision-Making under Rolling Admissions: Evidence from US Law School Applications
研究了美国法学院滚动录取中申请时间对录取结果的影响,发现早期申请比晚期申请有明显优势,对申请者和招生政策制定者有参考价值。
Admission processes in many higher-education markets are inherently dynamic. We study the timing of students’ applications and schools’ admissions under rolling admissions using unique data on US law schools. Our results show that law schools employ nonstationary admission standards within application cycles: applications submitted earlier enjoy a considerable advantage relative to later applications.
