This paper studies how college admissions preferences for low income students affect
intergenerational earnings mobility. We develop a quantitative model of college choice
with quality differentiated colleges. We find that admissions preferences substantially
increase low income enrollment in top quality colleges and intergenerational earnings
mobility. The associated losses of aggregate earnings are very small.
