In paper, I use state-wide longitudinal study conduct the first empirical test between early in later achievement attainment. Findings show statistically significant predictor academic success, net background factors. Specifically, an 8 12 percentage-point reduction probability degree attainment or enrollment. short-term, also lower mean GPA, obtaining at least 2.0 enrolling part-time rather than full-time, indicating affects students’ multiple ways.
