See how well you can guess how likely people from various income level families enroll in college by age 21. One free point is given, where 58% of the people from median income families enroll in college by age 21.
Really interesting…I underestimated the poorer families 0-30%.
There is something wrong with this. In order to have a “college chance”, you first have to graduate from HS.
According to 2012 numbers from the NCES, 66% of HS graduates from the lowest income level and 81% of the graduates from the highest income level were enrolled in college.
The data used is old. It’s based on kids who graduated high school around 2000.
:D/ :D/ :D/
I was within a 1% to 2% of the starting and ending rates, but my line shape was a bit off. All due to luck, of course.

Thanks for drawing. Here’s how you did:
You drew a more accurate picture of reality than about 98 percent of people who have tried so far.
… you correctly guessed one of the more striking findings of this research: …redacted…
Your guess was extremely accurate. Is that you, Raj Chetty? {quote]
*"Thanks for drawing. Here’s how you did:

Your line was relatively straight, reflecting one of the more striking findings of this research: The relationship between college enrollment and parental-income rank is linear.
Your line was too steep: There’s more equality than you guessed.
You underestimated the chances of college enrollment for the very poorest children. In reality, about one in four children in America’s poorest families go to college. (You guessed around 10 percent.)"*
My line wasn’t that straight; it was actually kinda shaky. But interesting article nevertheless.
If you accept that intelligence is hereditary, and that the more intelligent you are the more income you are able to earn, the results make sense.
