Using data from the Educational Longitudinal Study, college choice decision-making is conceptualized in relation to an individual's habitus and capital deficiency theory. The results reveal significant differences in the availability and predictive power of various forms of capital across enrollment classifications. The study concludes with implications for administrators and policymakers interested in improving access for low-income students.
