PS - 26 is perfectly acceptable ACT score for many colleges [/quote]

My child got lower and went T30 because of sports. People hate athletes.[/quote]

People “hate” athletes because many would have absolutely no chance getting accepted to highly selective schools on their academic achievements, while our kids excel beyond belief and acceptance (not to mention scholarships) to these same highly selective schools are a lottery. My kid excels both in a niche sport, musical instrument AND academics. [/quote]

You're actually teaching your own lesson here.  Kids have to become the best version of themselves.  Colleges need a wide variety of such kids.  Some of them will be great students.  Some of them will be great athletes.  No kid can check every box.  If the schools you want don't seem to value your kid, try shopping different schools.  I did so myself, and it turned out better than I could have imagined.[/quote]
