Archival and experimental research reveals a subtle but persistent ironic consequence: White liberals self-present less competence to minorities than to other Whites-that is, they patronize minorities stereotyped as lower status and less competent.

We leverage a unique national dataset of 41,359 college applications to prospectively predict 4-year bachelor's graduation in a generalizable manner. Our features include sociodemographics, institutional graduation rates, academic achievement, standardized test scores, engagement in extracurricular activities, work experiences, and ratings by teachers and high-school guidance counselors. A random forest classifier successfully predicted 4-year graduation for 71.4% of the students (base rate = 44%) using all 166 of the aforementioned features and a split-half validation method. A stochastic hill-climbing feature selection procedure effectively maintained the same classification accuracy, but with a minimal set of 37 features, consisting of an approximately equal representation of sociodemographics, cognitive, and noncognitive factors. We advocate against using these results for admissions decisions, instead contemplating how they might be used to provide parents and educators with actionable information to guide students towards college success.

"Depuis quelques années, les enseignants font face à un défi de taille : le recours par certains étudiants à l'intelligence artificielle, comme ChatGPT, qui peut engendrer de la tricherie et du plagiat. Le cégep de Sainte-Foy a été l’un des premiers à mettre en place une formation obligatoire pour les étudiants afin d'encadrer l'utilisation de l’IA. Une nouvelle réalité qui force aussi les enseignants à repenser leurs méthodes d'évaluation. Le reportage de Yasmine Khayat."
