Abstract	Where students go to college, not just whether they go, may be important to their educational and career success. Yet half of high school students from disadvantaged families "undermatch"--they do not enroll in college at all or not at the most selective college they could. The U.S. Department of Education tested a set of promising, low-cost advising strategies, called "Find the Fit," designed to help students enrolled in the Department's Upward Bound program choose more selective colleges. About 200 Upward Bound projects with 4,500 seniors agreed to participate. The projects were randomly assigned to receive "Find the Fit" to supplement their regular college advising (treatment group) or to offer their regular advising (control group). All treatment group projects implemented "Find the Fit" to some extent. This report highlights the findings from the first report on the "Find the Fit" study, which looks at the effects on students' steps toward enrolling in a more selective college.
