Do not encourage your student to base life decisions on what colleges may want. Have them base it on what the student wants to do with their life.



Unfortunately, college scholarships and admittance is about ACT/SAT scores and items beyond the students control.

The captain of my FRC team this year; a district honor student (4.0+ GPA and 30 ACT score), soccer team captain, president of the math club. Received far less in scholarships (from the same college) than his brother (one year elder) that coasted through school with an average GPA and a 33 on the ACT. My captain didn't even get the $500 FIRST scholarship the school offers.
