[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top schools have their pick of qualified applicants so why on earth would they chose some late bloomer versus an independently motivated high achiever through all of high school? [/quote] This question intrigues me. Some late bloomers go on to far surpass their peers. Is there a way to predict who will do this, and why?[/quote] SAT scores are fairly predictive of future income. So your late bloomer with a high SAT going into a STEM field will probably do quite well. I have two boys like this -- one just graduated from college with a job that pays almost twice the median starting salary of a recent college grad. [/quote] SAT scores are predictive of the student and parents’ SES. They have nothing to do with future success. [/quote]
