Abstract	The purpose of this study is to examine resource allocation patterns and the predictive power of these resources in increasing the likelihood of four-year college enrollment among academically qualified, low-income students. Using data from the Educational Longitudinal Study, college choice decision-making is conceptualized in relation to an individual's habitus and capital deficiency theory. The results from this study reveal significant resource shortages among non-enrollees as well as the predictive power of various forms of capital in increasing the likelihood of four-year college attendance. The study concludes with implications for practitioners and policymakers interested in improving access for low-income students. (Contains 5 tables.) (As Provided).
