  • Early Decision and College Performance Elizabeth J. Jensen
    Early Decision and College Performance Elizabeth J. Jensen Stephen Wu Hamilton College January 2009 Abstract This paper examines the relationship between admission status and college performance. In particular, we analyze admissions data from Hamilton College and find that students who applied through the Early Decision Plan II program have significantly lower GPAs and are less likely to receive departmental honors, fellowships, and outside scholarships than those admitted through the regular decision process. However, the results for Early Decision Plan I students are less consistent. These students have lower outcomes for some measures of academic achievement, but not others, than regular decision students. Elizabeth J. Jensen Stephen Wu Department of Economics Department of Economics Hamilton College Hamilton College 198 College Hill Road 198 College Hill Road Clinton, NY 13323 Clinton, NY 13323 [email protected] [email protected] We are grateful to Gordon Hewitt and Monica Inzer for granting us access to the data and for helpful comments. We thank David Foster for excellent research assistance. 2 1. Introduction College admissions staff at highly selective colleges sort through thousands of applications for undergraduate admissions each year in an attempt to identify the best candidates. While there are multiple possible definitions of “success” in college, academic success is certainly one dimension. In this paper, we investigate the relationships between measures of academic success and applicant characteristics, drawing upon the literature in the economics of education and educational psychology about predictors of academic success. Previous research on the determinants of undergraduate GPAs has examined the effects of standardized test scores, high school rank, and personal characteristics.
