Before
For all participants in the survey, we will elicit i) their perceptions of the share of children from rich families (top 20% of the income distribution) that go to either college or elite college, ii) their perceptions of the share of children from poor families (bottom 20% of the income distribution) that go to either college or elite college, iii) their perceptions of where children from rich families end up in the income distribution conditional on going or not going to college or elite college, and iv) their perceptions of where children from poor families end up in the income distribution conditional on going or not going to college or elite college.
For half of the participants, we will provide them with the actual numbers for all the elicited numbers mentioned above.

For all participants in the survey, we will elicit i) their perceptions of the share of children from rich families (top 20% of the income distribution) that go to either college or elite college, ii) their perceptions of the share of children from poor families (bottom 20% of the income distribution) that go to either college or elite college, iii) their perceptions of where children from rich families end up in the income distribution conditional on going or not going to college or elite college, and iv) their perceptions of where children from poor families end up in the income distribution conditional on going or not going to college or elite college.
For 1/3 of the participants, we will provide them with the actual numbers for all the elicited numbers mentioned above.
For another 1/3, we will provide broader information on correlations between parental income and college admission.
