TAPASCO ALZATE, Omar Alberto; RUIZ ORTEGA, Francisco Javier; OSORIO GARCIA, David  e  RAMIREZ RAMIREZ, Diógenes. Dropping Out: Incidence of Institutional Factors Related to Admission Processes. educ.educ. [online]. 2019, vol.22, n.1, pp.81-100. ISSN 0123-1294.  https://doi.org/10.5294/edu.2019.22.1.5.

This research studies the incidence of different institutional variables related to the admission process on dropout risk and the effect of weights assigned to the areas tested on the admission score in correlation with academic performance. Target population was students enrolled in the Universidad de Caldas for 2010-2012 cohorts. For this, multivariate logistic models and optimization techniques were used. Models obtained show that some variables of the admission process-subject to institutional intervention-, such as admission score, second option admission, special availability programs and tuition costs, have a statistically significant incidence on dropout risk that varies among schools. As a conclusion, in order to minimize dropping out and increase the predictive power of student’s future performance, actions such as rethinking second option admission, sustaining academic achievement admission and affirmative action policies, and modifying the weights currently assigned to the areas tested in the admission process should be considered.

Palavras-chave : Admission criteria; admission requirements; multivariate analysis; student admission; dropping out; student selection.
