The current study seeks to identify variables that affect the career decision-making of high school graduates with respect to the choice of university (re-)entrance in South Korea where education has great importance as a tool for self-cultivation and social prestige. For pattern recognition, we adopted a support vector machine with recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) with a big-data of survey of Korean college candidates. Based on the SVM-RFE analysis results, new enrollers were mostly affected by the mesosystems of interactions with parents, while re-enrollers were affected by the macrosystems of social awareness as well as individual estimates of talent and aptitude of individual systems. By predicting the variables that affect the high school graduates’ preparation for university re-entrance, some survey questions provide information on why they make the university choice based on interactions with their parents or acquaintances. Along with these empirical results, implications for future research are also presented.

Grade point averages of 897 white university students representing 25 public high schools in Chicago were examined. Socioeconomic status and individual ability were taken into consideration. A comparison was then made of the scholastic performance of white students who attended integrated high schools and that of white students who attended white-segregated high schools. With no refinement as to ability or socioeconomic status, white students from integrated high schools performed as well as white students who attended white-segregated high schools. However, when the above average ability—above average socioeconomic status groups—are compared, the findings are barely significant (if P = .05). This leaves open the question of whether there may be some slight suppression of achievement associated with attendance at an integrated high school. More research is necessary before definite conclusions can be teached.

In this study we investigate Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) high school graduates’ academic performance in the first year of college and test whether their exposure to racial segregation in high school at both the school and classroom levels affected their college freshman grade point averages. Utilizing administrative data from the Roots of STEM Success Project, we track the CMS class of 2004 from middle school through its first year of education in the University of North Carolina (UNC) system. Our findings show that segregation among schools and among classes within schools compromises college achievement for students of color while offering no significant benefits to white students’ college achievement.

This article investigates the Financial Market Leagues (LMF) as interstitial organizations through the lens of the Theory of Academic Capitalism. A case study was conducted based on a LMF in a Brazilian public university (LMF-Unab). Data collection involved the LMF’s National Council, business press, institutional pages of the LMFs and the internships coordination of the university studied. Moreover, 82 questionnaires were applied to members of 29 LMFs and the founders of the LMF-Unab were interviewed. The results revealed that 70.1% of respondents are between 20-23 years old; 81% attended private high school; 48% attend Engineering courses. LMFs operate within universities legitimizing narratives and metrics typical of a financialization process, which is illustrated by iconic figures of the discourse of meritocracy and the aggressive culture of results, such as Jorge Paulo Lemann, among other respondents' sources of inspiration. This paper addresses the literature gap regarding the understanding of student organizations as actors of academic capitalism, often portrayed as passive agents in this process, but who are actually active and benefit from it.

In September, 1972, a survey was undertaken of all students at Pahlavi University who had a grade point average of 3.00 or more as well as those who had a grade point average of less than 2.00. The survey of students' files in the Office of the Registrar, covered 3872 students, of whom 324 were in the first group (successful) and 730 were in the second group (unsuccessful). The third group was comprised of 355 students selected randomly from the rest of the 2818 average students whose grade point average was 2.00 to 2.99. Analysis showed the over-all mean of the high school point average of the successful group was significantly higher than that of the unsuccessful group. Girls in general scored higher than boys both in the high school and the university. The change of major fields of study was less frequent among the successful group than among the unsuccessful students. The “fresh” high school graduates were more successful students in the college. Students of middle socio-economic status performed better than those of high and low socio-economic status.
