| Tiivistelmä: | Profiling in college (hereafter as: c-e./c-es.) admissions (here as: adm./adms.) arises when applicant attributes are given weight due to their correlation with unobservable student characteristics valued by the c-e. This article models the adm. process of a single c-e. as a bargaining game btw. the c-e. and a potential student with asymmetric information etc. The model's empirical (as: emp.) implications are tested using a unique data set from a private U.S. c-e. It is found that the emp. evidence is consistent with the notion that signalling and profiling are important aspects of the c-e. adm. process. |
