Why expert advising matters for college access

We found that Advise TN increased college going by about 4 percentage points, or 8% over the baseline. Figure 1 shows the results on college going overall, and heterogeneous effects by subgroup. Given what we know about the track records of other college access advising programs, Advise TN appeared to be quite effective relative to similar, scaled statewide advising interventions. Moreover, the program shows significant improvements in college going for all student subgroups, with especially large increases among Hispanic students, and those at rural high schools.
