Summary:This longitudinal study explored the extent to which early postsecondary aspirations, standardized test scores, and measures of college and career readiness counseling services received in high school predict later postsecondary aspirations, initial college enrollment, retention, and persistence.

The authors discussed the importance of high‐quality college and career counseling services in light of these findings.
