当89%的高中毕业生计划获得学士学位，而计划获得学位的低成就高年级学生有80%的失败率时，提高已经很高的计划可能是提高大学成功率的糟糕策略。使用7 - 10年级学生的数据，Domina等人认为更高的计划与成功相关，并表明我对高中生的研究是错误的。虽然他们的研究结果可能表明，硕士计划是有益的（虽然7 - 10年级的学生谁知道硕士学位可能是不寻常的），他们的研究并没有说我的研究结果对老年人，他们的计划已经非常高。与Domina等人相反，我认为，努力可能会因为表达不清晰和信息不足而减少（而不是因为计划太高）。我对糟糕的表达感到悲观，而不是一个“所有民族精神的大学”。我已经表明，许多高年级学生有很高的计划，但缺乏信息，这导致了可预见的大学失败。进一步提高这些计划可能会提高7 - 10年级的努力，但不会提高高年级学生的大学成功。
When 89% of high school graduates plan BA degrees, and low-achieving seniors who plan degrees have 80% failure rates, raising already high plans may be a poor strategy for improving college success. Using data on 7th-10th grade students, Domina et al. argue that higher plans are associated with success and suggest that my study of high school seniors is wrong. While their findings may indicate that MA plans are beneficial (although 7th-10th graders who know about MA degrees may be unusual), their research does not speak to my findings about seniors, whose plans are already very high. Contrary to Domina et al., I contend that effort may be reduced by poor articulation and information (not by high plans). I am pessimistic about poor articulation, not a “college for all ethos.” I have shown that many seniors have high plans but poor information, and this leads to predictable failures in college. Further raising those plans may improve 7th-10th grade efforts, but will not improve seniors’ college success.
