What is it about?
Taiwan’s “Stars Policy” for university admission, implemented by the government, relies on student within-school ranks to admit high achievers to top universities or departments, mainly in medicine. The design increases educational equity in a manner that fails to benefit disadvantaged students seeking admission to the top-achieving medical departments in Taiwan.
