Although it is likely that plans to attend a 4-year college are made much earlier than the last 2 years of high school, few researchers have assessed the prehigh school factors that influence high school performance and course-enrollment decisions, which, in turn, affect college attendance. The data presented in this article were collected as part of the longitudinal Michigan Study of Adolescent Life Transitions. In this article, we used data from 681 adolescents in sixth grade and from their mothers to predict college attendance 2 years after high school graduation. Hierarchical logistic regression revealed the following as significant predictors of full-time college attendance: youths grade point averages, their plans for college, their resiliency, family income, mothers education level, and mothers educational valuing.
