Does elite graduate selection look the same across markets?
No single common selection architecture is supported by the sample. The foundational comparison found common use of assessment and interview, while the instrument and sequence varied across the UK, GCC, India, United States, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Denominator
Six purposive market samples. The institutions and pathways are not a matched representative panel.
What this does not show
This is a comparison of published process evidence, not a ranking of countries and not a claim that geography alone causes process differences. Institution, programme, route and observation date remain separate dimensions.
