Abstract	Decisions about whether and where to go to college can make a difference in students' later success. However, many students from low-income families--"undermatch"--they do not enroll at all or do not enroll in the most selective college they likely could attend. The full study to these study highlights examined whether promising advising strategies, bundled in a package called "Find the Fit," could improve college choices for rising high school seniors in the federal college access program Upward Bound. The full report compared the college choices of 4,500 students in projects with and without access to "Find the Fit" to determine its effects on college attendance. These study highlights present the key finding from the full report: (1) Despite shifting where students applied, "Find the Fit" did not reduce the rate of college undermatch; (2) "Find the Fit" led some students to choose more selective colleges regardless of undermatching, with no clear negative consequences; and (3) "Find the Fit" did not increase the share of students who persisted in or completed college.
