Undermatched Students

Undermatched Students

'Undermatched' students less likely to graduate on time compared to peers. A new study finds that undermatching -- when high-performing students, often from economically-disadvantaged households, attend less competitive colleges than their qualifications permit -- correlates to another higher education dilemma: delayed graduation. The study shows that students who undermatch are less likely to graduate college within four or six years compared to peers who do not undermatch. Source 9m.
