Abstract

Students’ college choices can affect their chances of earning a degree, but many lack the support to navigate the opaque college application and admissions process. This paper evaluates whether guaranteeing admissions to four-year colleges based on transparent academic standards affected transfer enrollment choices and graduation rates. Guaranteed admissions increased high-GPA community college graduates’ transfer rates to highly selective colleges by 30 percent. Graduation rates from highly selective colleges increased and student debt decreased. Gains were largest for students with historically lower transfer rates. Transparent college admissions standards can increase access to selective colleges at low to no cost.

清理转学录取标准

学生的大学选择会影响他们获得学位的机会，但许多人在不透明的大学申请和录取过程中缺乏支持。本文评估了基于透明学术标准的四年制大学入学保证是否会影响转学选择和毕业率。保证录取将高gpa社区大学毕业生转学到重点大学的比率提高了30%。名牌大学的毕业率提高了，学生债务减少了。历史上转学率较低的学生收益最大。透明的大学录取标准可以以低成本甚至零成本增加进入名牌大学的机会。
