摘要：The paper presents a study focused on selected personal and family characteristics of 39 young adults participating in the “Longitudinal Study of Children Born in Pelotas (RS) in 1982.” These young adults have had successful school histories – no failing or drop-out episodes during their primary and secondary education – and were enrolled in school in 2004/2005, at the time of the last followup. These subjects were academically successful in spite of showing important risk factors for failure, identified by different studies both in Brazil and abroad – low family income and coming from a family whose head is a semiqualified or unqualified manual worker. Of the total 3,930 subjects followed up in the longitudinal study, 728 (19%) showed the above mentioned risk factors. The group of subjects studied in the present analysis corresponded to 1% of the total. Even though the results obtained are preliminary and have not been treated statistically (qualitative analysis only), they indicate that factors such as not having children, owning a home at the time of birth, or not being black may have played a role in offsetting the effects of traditionally identified risk factors. Other, less salient, characteristics overrepresented in the sample included female sex, not working, higher family income, greater maternal schooling, and having an older mother. Key words: academic success/failure; risk factors; longitudinal study.
