Each year, we serve millions of people in high schools, colleges, professional associations, businesses, and government agencies, nationally and internationally. Though designed to meet a wide array of needs, all ACT programs and services have one guiding purpose—helping people achieve education and workplace success.  \nA copy of this report can be found at  \n[www.act.org/collegechoice/12](www.act.org/collegechoice/12)  \nACT has measured the academic achievement of 11th-and 12th-grade students since 1959, their career aspirations since 1969, and their academic preparation in high school since 1985. Since 1992, and every three to five years thereafter, ACT conducts the ACT National Curriculum survey®, in which we survey thousands of high school and college educators to pinpoint the knowledge and skills needed for first-year college coursework.  \nACT is the only organization with decades of empirical information showing what happens to high school graduates once they get to college or to work and how they can maximize success—based on their preparation from kindergarten through high school. This unique information is an invaluable resource as ACT works closely with states, school districts, and postsecondary institutions to transform them into better-aligned P–16 education systems.  \nThis College Choice Report is part of a report series that focuses on the ACT-tested high school graduating class of 2012. Other reports in this series are The Condition of College & Career Readiness, which highlights the academic readiness of high school graduates to enter college or career training, and The Reality of College Readiness, which highlights the relationships among readiness, college enrollment, and retention.  \n© 2014 by ACT, Inc.

It focuses on an alternating set of student characteristics, preferences, and college search behaviors to assist enrollment managers, admissions personnel, and other college administrators with student recruitment, enrollment, and persistence.  \nThis College Choice Report series follows the ACTtested high school graduating class of 2012, focusing on the relationships between students’ self-reported preferences for college type, location, and distance as well as students’ enrollment, persistence, and transfer at colleges that match these preferences.  \nPart 1 of this series, Preferences and Prospects (released April 2013), provides the self-reported college preferences and ACT Educational Opportunity Service (EOS) participation rates of the ACT-tested high school graduating class of 2012.  \nPart 2 , Enrollment Patterns (released July 2013), revisits this class during their first year of college to examine whether students’ college enrollment choices matched their self-reported college preferences.  \nPart 3, Persistence and Transfer (released March 2014), revisits this class during their second year of college to report on student persistence within postsecondary education and to examine the relationships between their self-reported college preferences and their transfer patterns.  \nWe have provided interactive charts and maps online to supplement these reports.
