A Study by the National Bureau of
Economic Research Reports $\text { Application strategies by Income (\%) }$

A study by the National Bureau of
Economic Research reports that college application strategies differ by income group. The three application strategies identified are: apply to a range of colleges, some selective some not; apply to no selective colleges; or, finally, use a mix of other strategies, such as applying to one selective college and one non-selective college. The percentages of students using these strategies, broken down by income, is shown in the table and the segmented bar chart.

In a few sentences describe how the college application strategies differ for the low, middle, and high income groups.
