An applicant-centred approach to understanding UCAS decision-making"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10124627> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/abstract> "Less-advantaged students are under-represented at prestigious universities, but can we infer that they actively avoid them? This research measured university applicants’ knowledge of 115 UK universities. Using card-sort tasks within an interview format, 56 Year 13 students from different types of 16–19 education described how they chose five courses for their application form. Significant cross-cohort trends in knowledge and understanding demonstrated the influence of different educational environments, but within-cohort variation showed that applicant characteristics could over-ride environmental factors. The only cohort where every student understood relative status was an independent school providing individual, career-focused guidance. Limited resources in state-sector schools and colleges necessitated ‘opt-in’ models of guidance, meaning that only highly motivated students were well-informed. When students knew that universities are ranked by national league tables, this informed their decision-making strategy, but reliance on word-of-mouth rather than fact-based information resulted in some students over-estimating status and graduate outcomes. A new conceptual framework blending developmental and cognitive psychology explained persistent class-based progression trends whilst demonstrating how personal agency or educational interventions enabled some less-advantaged students to enter prestigious universities. There was no evidence that prestigious universities were actively avoided, but some students had insufficient knowledge or understanding to make status-based distinctions."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10124627> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/date> "2021-03-08" . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/document/1294296> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/Document> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/publication/ext-ca3161ac88c5c2f04beff9a04b411259> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/Collection> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/publication/ext-ca3161ac88c5c2f04beff9a04b411259> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> "British Educational Research Journal"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10124627> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/isPartOf> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/publication/ext-ca3161ac88c5c2f04beff9a04b411259> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10124627> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/status> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/status/forthcoming> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10124627> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/creator> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-13bc9006684c2948ff361bf9c64c5d82> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10124627> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/authorList> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10124627#authors> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10124627#authors> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#_1> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-13bc9006684c2948ff361bf9c64c5d82> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10124627> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/creator> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-5ba3dbfec02d79a40ffbefbaa1b59cd6> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10124627> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/authorList> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10124627#authors> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10124627#authors> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#_2> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-5ba3dbfec02d79a40ffbefbaa1b59cd6> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-13bc9006684c2948ff361bf9c64c5d82> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-13bc9006684c2948ff361bf9c64c5d82> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/givenName> "S"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-13bc9006684c2948ff361bf9c64c5d82> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/familyName> "McGrath"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-13bc9006684c2948ff361bf9c64c5d82> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> "S McGrath"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-5ba3dbfec02d79a40ffbefbaa1b59cd6> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-5ba3dbfec02d79a40ffbefbaa1b59cd6> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/givenName> "L"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-5ba3dbfec02d79a40ffbefbaa1b59cd6> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/familyName> "Rogers"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-5ba3dbfec02d79a40ffbefbaa1b59cd6> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> "L Rogers"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10124627> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://eprints.org/ontology/EPrint> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10124627> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://eprints.org/ontology/ArticleEPrint> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10124627> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/isPartOf> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/repository> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10124627> <http://eprints.org/ontology/hasDocument> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/document/1294296> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/document/1294296> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://eprints.org/ontology/Document> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/document/1294296> <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label> "Do less-advantaged students avoid prestigious universities?
