↵Notes: Each column represents a separate regression. We control for school by math group by English language group by Korean language group in seventh grade by college type FEs for Columns 4–7 and school by math group by English language group by Korean language group in seventh grade FEs for the rest of the columns. Dependent variables in Columns 1–7 are, respectively, indicator variables for (1) being accepted by a university, (2) being accepted by a community college, (3) being employed, (4) applying for a STEM major, (5) applying for a TEM major, (6) being accepted in a STEM major, and (7) being accepted in a TEM major. Dependent variables in Columns 8 and 9 are the log of average wage and the employment rate for the student’s major. In Columns 4 and 5, we exclude the students who report that their major was not their top choice. In Columns 6 and 7, the regression is conditional on applying for a STEM and a TEM major, respectively. Standard errors in parentheses are clustered at school level. *p < 0.10, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01.
