[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As far as ACT goes, looks like someone is finally taking them to court.  It'll be interesting to see the rulings.

This is great news! [/quote]

Okay, that article says the kid was offered a $20K scholarship somewhere with ACT scores in the low 20s.

How on earth is that possible?

Where are these kids going to college where they are getting scholarship for such low or middling ACT/SAT scores?

I thought kids need SATs in the upper 1300s to 1400s or ACTs in the upper 20s/low 30s to even get accepted to college, and much higher for scholarships.[/quote]

You thought wrong.

Merit is nearly everywhere, and for nearly everyone -- just maybe not where you want your kid to go.  Look beyond the top 100-200 colleges and you will find it.

Is it a game, like when stores have inflated list prices and then discount?  We could argue that all day, but lets not.[/quote]
