This edited book brings together leading scholars to share ongoing research on the diffusion of holistic admissions practices around the world. Many countries have adopted holistic admissions practices, and some have used them for incoming students for over two decades, but these developments have been rarely noted in policy and media discussions about university admissions. Chapters in this volume explore the similar challenges global institutions face related to college access, admissions transparency, and the potential for corruption, and how their admissions practices affect equity, access, and student diversity. Translating a body of existing transnational research, this volume provides strategies that higher education scholars, policymakers, and practitioners can use to improve admissions practices and policies in global contexts.
