PART A: Which statement below best expresses the central idea of the text? "The myth of the college dropout" by Jonathan Wai, Duke University, and Heiner Rindermann Chemnitz University of Technology, April 19,2017. For comparison, based on census and college data, we estimate that only about 2 to 5% of all U.S.undergraduates went to one of the elite schools in our study. The people from our study attended elite schools at rates well above typical expectations.Do elite schools matter?This year, elite schools saw an increase in applications and selectivity. Research suggests there is no difference in adult income between students who attended highly selective schools and students withsimilar SAT scores who attended less selective schools. At least for long-term earnings, where you gomay not be critical, as long as you attend and graduate.Yet, our data show that for students with talent and motivation to make it to the top of U.S. society, an elite college might just help you get there — whether it’s the networks you acquire or the brand on your resume.While looking at over 11,000 successful leaders, we rarely encountered people who came from extremely poor or disadvantaged backgrounds. Helping disadvantaged talented students enter elite schools could promote diversity among future leaders. College matters Admittedly, the educational path of the cream of the crop may not apply to most people. So, going to college may not be the right or even the best path for everyone. However, if you’re a student thinking about not going to college or considering dropping out, remember that even Gates and Zuckerberg got into college. Even if you’re not aiming for mega success, doing the work to get into and graduate from college today may open important doors.Perhaps in the future, college may not be as important to employers. But for now, college dropouts who rule the world are rare exceptions — not the rule.

While there are successful people who dropped out of college, the current leaders in the United States are overwhelmingly college graduates

Whether or not you succeed isn’t determined by the college degree you have –or lack – but your own motivation and drive.

The successful people in America at least attended a university, even if theydidn’t graduate, and developed important skills while they were there.

Dropping out of college is risky if you don’t have a job waiting for you, or don’t have any concrete plans about making money.
