Selective College Admissions and its Effects on Low-SES Students (2018, background): “…information asymmetries in admissions knowledge between wealthy and poor students (Bell, Rowan-Kenyon, & Perna, 2009; Engberg & Allen, 2011; Engberg & Wolniak, 2010; Holland, 2014) and facilitated the undermatching of low-income students (Bastedo & Flaster, 2014; Smith, Pender, & Howell,…”
Higher Education: Gaps in Access and Persistence Study. Statistical Analysis Report. NCES 2012-046. (2012, background): “These factors have also been associated with greater postsecondary access and persistence (St. John, Paulsen, and Starkey 1996; Engberg and Wolniak 2010).”
Creating College Opportunity: School Counselors and Their Influence on Postsecondary Enrollment (2013, methodology): “Consistent with the most current research on the relationship between high school context and college access (Engberg and Wolniak 2010; Rowan-Kenyon et al. 2011), this study is guided by theories of both human and social capital.”
Exploring What Leads High School Students to Enroll in Hispanic-Serving Institutions (2011, background): “In terms of peer behavior that reflects a college culture, schools having a higher proportion of graduates that pursue 4-year college educations are more likely to see subsequent graduates pursue the same path (Engberg & Wolniak, 2009).”
College Student Pathways to the STEM Disciplines (2013, background): “…the importance of different school resources (e.g., guidance counseling and parental involvement) on students’ pathways to postsecondary education, which has direct implications on their likelihood of entering into STEM fields (Engberg & Wolniak, 2010; McDonough, 1997: Perna & Titus, 2005).”
The Counseling Opportunity Structure: Examining Correlates of Four-Year College-Going Rates (2013, background): “…most salient explanations highlight the role of three critical determinants that drive college-going behavior: financial resources, academic preparation, and access to information about the college choice process (Engberg and Wolniak 2010; Engberg and Allen 2011; Perna 2006; Thomas and Perna 2004).”
High School Socioeconomic Segregation and Student Attainment (2013, background): “This may be facilitated by structures such as academic tracking that is related to social class or immigration status (Lucas, 1999; Oakes, 2005) and through more subtle social mechanisms related to cultural capital (Engberg & Wolniak, 2010; McDonough, 1997; Perna & Titus, 2005).”
The College Application Gauntlet: A Systematic Analysis of the Steps to Four-Year College Enrollment (2011, background): “Many researchers have demonstrated a connection between sources of social and cultural capital, school attributes, and students’ college enrollment decision making (Ellwood and Kane 2000; Engberg and Wolniak 2010; Grodsky and Jackson 2009; Hossler et al. 1999; McDonough 1997; Paulsen and Smart 2001;”
