Research has identified socioeconomic disparity in university enrollment due to a higher likelihood stop applying after an initial rejection among individuals from less educated families. We investigate the role of education-linked genes alongside family background and experiencing mental illness other major life events predicting (re-)application university. further examine later outcomes who are more persistent their educational goals.Utilizing longitudinal genetically informed register data Finland, we analyze sample 6,101 born 1987-1990 followed up until 2018. The study uses parental polygenic scores assess genetic endowment high attainment (EDU-PGS) combined with information on application behavior (1,683 experienced rejection) variables. Multinomial binary logistic regression models discrete time hazard employed.Our findings indicate intricate interplay endowments, income education parents, behavior, early adulthood occupational status. Individuals EDU-PGS were likely reapply rejection, suggesting component persistence goals behaviors beyond background. Mental did not have effect over above included indicators applying, there was no evidence for presence gene-environment interactions. Moreover, mediated influence score status adulthood.The contributes broader equality opportunity debate shows how express themselves our smaller or bigger decisions. joint contribution factors crucial shaping trajectories outcomes.
