- W2912673498 abstract "Recent experimental studies of low-cost interventions that reduce administrative or informational barriers to college enrollment have shown cost-effective increases in educational attainment. Yet it remains to be seen whether these interventions can be implemented effectively at a large scale. Since 2001, eleven states have incorporated the ACT or SAT into their eleventh grade standardized testing regime, thus requiring and paying for all students to take a college entrance exam. I examine the effect of this inexpensive and large-scale policy on postsecondary enrollment, persistence, and choice. I first exploit the implementation of the reform to measure the pre-policy supply of college-ready students not taking a college entrance exam. I show that for every ten poor students taking the ACT or SAT pre-policy and scoring at a college-ready level, there are five additional poor students taking neither exam who would score at a collegeready level. I then compare changes in college-going from before to after the policy among students at high schools without an ACT test center pre-policy relative to students at schools with a pre-policy center. This strategy exploits the lower baseline ACT-taking, and thus larger dosage of the policy at schools without a pre-policy center. I find that the policy increases statewide enrollment at four-year institutions by 0.6 percentage points (2%), with effects concentrated among students with a low-to-mid-level predicted probability of taking the ACT in the absence of the policy. Among students enrolled in the poorest third of high schools, the effect is 1.3 percentage points (6%). I find similar effects on enrolling through the fourth year of college, suggesting that marginal students persist." @default.
