no, but ppl in high school get less attention than college and some
ppl use low h.s. to inspire them in college
whatever the case, get the best education you can get now because the future is so much more insecure than before when you could get a good job with just h.s..

Is it true? Don't know... haven't seen any research on that topic lately. What I can say is that success in college a lot of times depends on motivation. It is like anything else... if you want a degree badly enough, and you want the knowledge badly enough you will do whatever you have todo to learn the material and do well in school. I think high school grades can be an indictor of college success but they definetly do not determine it.

True for me... I did barely average in h.s. because I hated being there and got no support. In college I realized that I loved what I was learning, and really started working hard. I have a 3.6 now.

An excellent question!!!
I think we are all different. In my case, I was a late bloomer. I struggled in high school, but in college I was at the top of my class and received two major awards. My brain developed late.
It is regrettable that high schools don't recognize that not all individuals progress at the same rate at the same time. It is especially sad when a high school student is so discouraged that he/she decides not to go on to college, thinking that it would be hopeless.
On the other hand, you have geniuses in high school who are emotionally underdeveloped. They have poor people skills and sometimes very little 'common sense'. Given their high test scores and grades, sometimes they are egotistical. This happened to a friend of mine, who scored perfect scores on the SAT and Math Level II achievement tests. He was totally crushed when he was not admitted to CalTech, his first choice. Personally, he was so egotistical, he probably turned off the admissions committee there. He learned a valuable lesson though.

If they start applying themselves they can good grades but most high achievers in high school, continue on in college

HAVING CRAPPY GRADES IN HIGH SCHOOL WAS MY NUMBER ONE MOTIVATION FOR GETTING As IN COLLEGE. SO I PUSHED MYSELF HARDER IN COLLEGE AND IT PAID OFF. I LANDED A GOOD GOVERNMENT JOB!
