Abstract	Many high school seniors who plan to attend college do not enroll, and others enroll but do not return for a second year. Low-income students are more likely than their higher-income peers to fall off track after high school ends, when they often have limited connections to advisors, insufficient information about key college transition steps, and concerns about falling short and fitting in. Text-message-based advising is an increasingly popular strategy to address these challenges, including among states and districts that participate in the federal college access program Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP). In this study about 4,800 college-intending seniors in high-need high schools across the country were randomly divided into two groups: one received their regular GEAR UP supports in the summer before and during their first year of college, and the other group received these regular supports with the addition of text messaging designed to support a successful transition to college. The study compared the experiences and outcomes of the two groups to determine the effectiveness of the transition messaging.
