A study of all private universities in the US, released by a psychiatrist at Washington State University, shows that their ranking in Ultimate Frisbee edges out both SATs and grades as a predictor of academic performance!
Those ranked in the top half for Ultimate have a graduation rate of over 85%, while those in the bottom half just 60%. The top seven have nearly as many Rhodes scholars and Marshall scholars as all others combined.
The son of the study’s author, who helped with research, is on a U.S. national Ultimate Frisbee team.
