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 want a gold star, d-bag?[/quote]

Ehhh, everybody would prefer having a kid who can perform surgery over a kid that can kick a ball far. No need to be butt hurt your kid falls into the latter.[/quote]

lol. PP thinks med schools are full of people that never played a sport or something.

Able to “kick a ball far” and able to become a surgeon are not anywhere near mutually exclusive.[/quote]

An average athlete who can't handle AP courses and took multiple attempts on the ACT to eke out a 26 is not going to medical school. Maybe like a nursing school candidate.[/quote]

lol. I bet a student who barely graduates from hs, gets a bunch of Fs their first few semesters in an open admissions college, drops out to become an exotic dancer, then goes back to college with the intention of going to law school—one particular law school that they have fallen in love with after reading a novel partially set there—isn’t going to make it? Maybe a paralegal certificate would be more appropriate?

You make a lot of assumptions. That reflects on your intellectual ability and no one else’s. [/quote]
