  1. Note: Outcomes refer to enrollment and choice in the semester following high school graduation. Columns 1 and 2 use local linear regression with bandwidths of 10 and 5 percentage points, respectively; robust standard errors in parentheses. Column 3 uses the Imbens and Kalyanaraman procedure for point estimates and standard errors. N for bw=10 is 4,196 and for bw=5 is 2107 (N varies by covariate in column 3). **, * denote statistically significant estimate at the 1% and 5% level, respectively.
