The ISSC provided the following data on each student: race, sex, the American College Testing Program (ACT) composite score, the expected parental contribution for collge (EPCT), the Pell Grant, and adjusted parental income. Seven ACT composite score groups were selected for analysis. Sixty Illinois colleges and universities were identified by median ACT composite scores of entering freshmen and by the student attendance budgets. A student's ACT composite score determined a set of expected in-state college options.
