a For all models, n = 1,126 (includes Universities 1–3 and complete data sets only). Standard errors are heteroskedasticity-consistent standard errors. Biology was the reference category for major. University 1 was the reference category for university. White is the reference category for race; the “other” race category includes those with unknown backgrounds and American Indian and Pacific Islanders (due to low counts). For major, university, and race/ethnicity, semi-partial r2 is computed for the set of all categories as a whole and listed under the first category only.
