minority students who take demanding courses in high school , and
succeed in those courses, perform as well on the SAT as White

The key factors that contribute to superstar status in high
school, regardless of race/ethnicity, are:

Taking demanding courses

Taking at least one Advanced Placement (AP) course

Holding a leadership position in extra-curricular activities

Having at least one parent with a Bachelor's degree or higher."
Utilizing self-reported data from the College Board's Student
Descriptive Questionnaire, on "intended college major," researchers
found that:

-- Engineering is the most popular choice of major among men with
high SAT scores

-- Biological science is a more popular choice among women than
men

-- Pre -med is a more common choice among women than men,
especially with Asian American and African American women

-- Business and computer science are equally popular among all
racial/ethnic groups

-- Health professions are more popular among students in the low
and middle SAT achievement levels

-- Regardless of racial/ethnic or gender group, virtually none of
the "academic superstars " express an interest in majoring in
education.
