Notes: Coefficients for Grades are OLS estimates. Coefficients for Low Grades, Dropout, and Bachelor's are probit estimates showing marginal effects. Robust standard errors are shown in brackets. In model 1, additional covariates include dummy variables for male, birth year, and birth month. Model 3 is a comprehensive specification with the full set of covariates.
