Impacts of College Board’s RYCP Campaign on Postsecondary Enrollment", author = "Oded Gurantz, Jessica Howell, Mike Hurwitz, Cassandra Larson, Matea Pender, Brooke White", institution = "Annenberg Institute at Brown University", number = "40", year = "2019", month = "May", URL = "http://www.edworkingpapers.com/ai19-40", abstract = {The College Board sought to reduce barriers in the college application process by minimizing information aggregation costs, encouraging a broad application portfolio, and providing an impetus to start the search process. Some students were offered additional encouragements, such as text message reminders or college application fee waivers. In a randomized control trial with 785,000 low- and middle-income students in the top 50% of the PSAT and SAT distributions, we find no changes in college enrollment patterns, with the exception of a 0.02? increase in college quality measures for African-American and Hispanic students. }, }
