  1. Note. This table summarizes a number of hierarchical linear models. Each cell reports an unstandardized slope (b) for a variable of interest, the standard error of that slope (in parentheses), and the p-value. All models include a random intercept by school and include region of the country (Northeast, Southeast, Central South, Midwest, Southwest, Northeast), public/private and percentage of white students (based on data collected by the AAMC in 2010) as school level covariates, and student age, gender, and the highest education level of either parent as student-level covariates
