  1. The model includes dummy variables for student origin (SO_dummy) and class (C_dummy). For simplicity, detailed reports are omitted.
  2. The model also controls for variables other than college entrance exam scores, political status, previous class leadership experience, and gender, as well as various characteristics of the three types of peers, including their college entrance exam scores and previous class leadership experience, which are also omitted from the table.
