Abstract

University or college admission is a complex decision process that goes beyond simply matching test scores and admission requirements. Past research has suggested that students' backgrounds and other factors correlate to the performance of their tertiary education. However, almost all admission and enrollment studies are based on the perspective of universities or colleges, and only few studies are based on the perspective of secondary schools. This paper presents a hybrid model of neural network and decision tree classifier that serves as the core design for a university admission recommender system. The system was tested with live data from sources of Macau secondary school students. In addition to the high prediction accuracy rate, flexibility is an advantage such that the system can predict suitable universities that match the students' profiles and the suitable approaches through which the students should enter. The recommender can be generalized into making different kinds of predictions based on the students' histories.
