2012 College Choice Report--Part 2: Enrollment Patterns
ACT, Inc.
This report builds on a foundation of knowledge about the academic readiness of the ACT-tested high school graduating class of 2012 as presented in "The Condition of College & Career Readiness" (see ED534761). An important conclusion of the "Condition" report is that far too many high school graduates are not prepared for success in college and career as defined by their attainment of the ACT College Readiness Benchmarks. After receiving positive feedback on the first report and requests for more information, ACT expanded the content of the report this year to include information spanning multiple stages of the college choice process. Part 2, presented in this report, focuses on the college enrollment of the ACT-tested high school graduates and addresses such topics as student mobility and migration patterns, the extent to which students' college choices match their preferences, and the enrollment rates of students selected through Educational Opportunity Service (EOS). [For "2012 College Choice Report--Part 1: Preferences and Prospects," see ED546629. For "2012 College Choice Report--Part 3: Persistence and Transfer," see ED546631.]
