Selected Results from Multilevel Models Predicting Wave II College Preparatory Coursework

	B (SE)
	Model 1	Model 2	Model 3
Focal Main Effects
Wave I college preparatory index	.60*** (.01)	.60*** (.01)	.50*** (.01)
Parent education (college graduate)	.10*** (.02)	.88** (.30)	−1.60* (.61)
Wave I grade level	−.26*** (.02)	−.23*** (.03)	−.33** (.03)
Prop. coursemates with college-educated parents	.03 (.08)	.08 (.63)	−1.12 (.90)
Two-Way Interactions
Parent education × grade level		−.09** (.03)	−.16* (.06)
Coursemates × grade level		−.01 (.06)	.12 (.09)
Parent education × coursemates		.15 (.11)	4.86** (1.38)
Three-Way Interaction
Parent education × coursemates × grade			−.47** (.13)
Intercept	3.02*** (.39)	2.78*** (.44)	3.60*** (.48)

n = 7,481 (students), 72 (schools)

Δ −2 Res Log Likelihood = −1 (Model 1 vs. 2), −746 (Model 2 vs. 3)

Note: Both models included a random intercept to account for cross-school variation in the outcome. Both models controlled for full set of family, sociodemographic, and school factors (family income to needs, family structure, gender, race/ethnicity, immigration status, school mean parent education level, school mean g.p.a., proportion of seniors in school in college track, school enrollment based on testing, school use of tracking, and school math/science academy status). PVT score and Wave I g.p.a. were also controlled.
