Getting In and Getting Through: Ex Ante Beliefs and Counterfactual Outcomes in Centralized College Admissions (joint work with Edwin Leuven, University of Oslo)

This paper studies belief accuracy in a centralized higher‑education admissions system using Norwegian data that combine a large pre‑admission expectations survey with administrative records on offers, enrollment, and completion. Exploiting program‑specific admission cutoffs within a fuzzy regression discontinuity design, the authors compare applicants’ subjective beliefs with objective counterfactual outcomes at the admission margin. The results show that enrollment forecast errors are mainly driven by mistaken beliefs about offer probabilities, while beliefs about enrollment conditional on an offer are relatively accurate. For completion outcomes, applicants display substantial persistence optimism, overestimating completion conditional on enrollment under both access states. These belief errors have economically meaningful implications for choices and rankings of study programs.
