J’ai participé à créer MonProjetSup…
I helped to create MonProjetSup…
(because of gender and social inequality)
During my CS Master degree, I had the chance to be hired by the developper of ParcourSup.
✅ This algorithm is extremely helpful.
❌ However, this paper desmonstrate it’s not enough.
Women and lower social class student tend to under estimate their competences.
The result: they don’t apply to some university, even if they could.
The solution? MonProjetSup (Beta version).
This prototype is basically a personnalized search engine.
It allows student to esimate their chances of success thanks to metrics like last years admissions.
Why is this feedback needed? That’s what I asked the paper authors.
Their response: information help reduce significatively the influence of self trust:
- by 72 for gender inequality ;
- by 95 for social inequality.
