Evaluation of college admissions: a decision tree guide to provide information for improvement

This study uses decision trees to analyze the admissions and enrollment of Taiwan's 5-year junior colleges to explore the reasons that students might fail in an exam-free admissions process, propose methods for improvement, and view the implementation of the pedagogical theory of multiple intelligences. The college admissions system may produce confusion in Taiwan. Schools in metropolitan areas retain an advantage for screening talent across multiple abilities, and colleges in agricultural counties may unintentionally marginalize people, resulting in insufficient enrollment or an inverse selection of talent. It has been suggested that increasing the number of schools in metropolitan areas will reduce the rates of enrollment failure and improve the compulsory education environment that many are forced to attend.
