- ItemAggregated Results of Access Programs Implemented by Universities in Chile: Students’ Persistence using a Matched Sample(2021) Santelices Etchegaray, María Verónica; Horn, Catherine; Catalán Avendaño, Ximena; Venegas, AlejandraDuring the last ten years, a group of selective universities in Chile has started admission programs to increase equity in higher education that consider the achievement of students in the context of educational opportunities they have had, thus reducing reliance on the national college entrance exam. This study explores persistence rates of students admitted through these programs using matching procedures and inferential analyses; in particular, logistic regressions and hazard models were conducted in a matched sampled based on students´ demographic characteristic. Although results vary slightly depending on the methodology used and the specific period of time under analysis, we observe non-statistically significant differences between students admitted by these programs and matched counterparts. These results are auspicious considering the different academic profile of students enrolled in higher education through equity access programs.

- ItemInformation sources and transition to higher education: Students, teachers and school counselors' perspectives(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2020) Santelices, Maria Veronica; Zarhi, Magdalena; Horn, Catherine; Catalan, Ximena; Ibanez, AliciaDespite the increase in higher education enrollment observed in Chile in past decades, there are significant differences among the quality of institutions in which students from different socioeconomic level enroll, and a system-level dropout issue. Initial results from the literature suggest a relationship between high-school advising and enrollment. This research explores students' knowledge about higher education and the role that different actors play in the college-decision making process in Chile using mixed methods approach. Most respondents felt informed about higher education programs but felt only partially informed about financial aid, tuition costs, and labor outcomes. Results should inform policies aiming to increase access and persistence in higher education. Implications for literature on human capital and college-choice are discussed.
