[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know Jeff Selingo isn’t universally loved here but his Dream School book had a stat that stuck with me: for every 10 point higher SAT score your peers have at college, it increases the likelihood of dropping out by like 2-3% I wish I would have made note of the study he referenced. This is not to say, attending reach schools is a bad idea IMO. But, if you do, I think it’s important to be able to be prepared for what that might feel like[/quote] Dropping out of the major, not dropping out of the school. The study is here: https://muse.jhu.edu/article/239260. I was also able to find an unpaywalled PDF through Google. The title of the article is about URMs but the quoted research is from p. 445 where the authors are discussing all college students, not just URMs. [/quote]
