教育部自2007年開始推行繁星計畫入學管道，其不以大考成績作為單一錄取標準，而必須以高中在校成績作為首要篩選指標，因此越來越多非明星高中學生進到理想大學就讀。既有文獻更指出若透過繁星推薦入學之學生，其大學在校成績往往最為優秀。既之如此，整體畢業於明星高中學生仍然比較優秀？抑或因為繁星推薦之多元入學管道的興起，造就明星／非明星高中於大學成績落差消失？為了回答此研究問題，本研究以臺北大學校務資料，分析2001、2003-15年（2002年資料缺漏）之學生成績及背景資料。主要發現有二：一、臺北大學自中期（2006-10）起，明星高中於臺北大學校內成績光環不再，近期（2011-15）整體非明星高中學生之PR值更超越非明星高中學生。二、繁星推薦是使得明星高中學生成績光環不再之主因。 

Since 2007, the Ministry of Education has launched the Star Project channel, students’ high school scores became the main university admission indicator. Therefore, more and more non-elite high school students enter the ideal university. Most of the past research point out that if students entered the university through the Star Project channel, they could achieve academic excellence. As a consequence, did elite high school students still achieve academic excellence in the university? In other words, did Star Project bridge the gap between elite and non-elite high school students’ achievement? To answer this research question, this study use students’ information about achievement and background of National Taipei University (NTPU) in 2001, 2003-2015. There are two main findings. First, graduated from elite high school students’ academic performance was no longer advantage in 2006-2010; Non-elite high school student’s PR value of academic performance was better than elite students in 2010-2015. Second, Star Project is the main reason why elite high school students’ academic performance is no longer advantage.
