Drawing on the TREE data set, this study analyses the transition rates of youths who are
entitled to enter higher education in Switzerland. Despite the disadvantages encountered in the school system, no disadvantages are revealed for second-generation migrants at this branching point. In contrast, when controlling for social origin and performance, secondgeneration males originating from former Yugoslavia, Albania/Kosovo, Turkey or Portugal show an increased likelihood to enrol in higher education. In addition, both secondgeneration males and females originating from these countries more often enter the more prestigious traditional institutions of higher education.
