Note.—Standard errors for means are in parentheses; sample sizes are in brackets. AHPVT is measured at wave I, GPA is measured from transcripts at wave III, and completed education is measured at wave IV for males. The unit of observation for the GPA outcome is the individual- year; these standard errors are clustered at the individual level. Wages and full-time employment come from male respondents at wave IV.
