Coordinated Admissions Program
研究了德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的协调录取项目，该项目为未被直接录取的州内学生提供从系统内其他学校转学的路径，通过断点回归发现该路径对学业成果有影响。
In the wake of challenges to affirmative action, access to oversubscribed elite public universities remains a contentious issue. Much of the research on these issues focuses on freshman admissions. This paper examines the University of Texas at Austin's Coordinated Admissions Program which offers Texas residents that were not admitted to the University of Texas at Austin as freshman the option of transferring from a participating University of Texas System school. Using the regression discontinuity design, I show that this path to an elite public university has an impact on academic outcomes.
