The effects on demand are large:
✅ +17% more applications the following year
🧑🎓 Driven by low-SES students
We find evidence that older schoolmates serve as a source of information and role models—especially for disadvantaged students.

Can the experience of an older schoolmate change that?
We use a regression discontinuity design:
Compare schools where the top student just made it into COAR vs. just missed.
→ Isolated variation in exposure to a successful peer
→ Measure effects on the next cohort

How can we reduce the SES gap in demand for elite schools?
For low-SES students, learning from the experience of a schoolmate can make a big difference.
We explore this question in a joint paper with Jérémie Gignoux and Agus Hatrick, now published in Economic Journal!
