ACT/SAT scores really are so key


If you can't hack it on those you aren't going to make it through four years of college, at least not for a worthwhile degree.

I'm sure there of plenty of people on this board who know of outliers, like their cousin Jimmy who scored a 19 but is now a millionaire but for the most part people who cannot achieve a decent score on those standardized tests are wasting their time going to college.

standardized test scores are also meant to, you know, standardize comparisons. a 4.0 at Barbe is not the same as a 4.0 at Newman is not the same thing as a 4.0 at a failing school.

If you go through college with "Marginal grades" in a "lesser" curriculum, you are probably wasting your time. There are many avenues to earn a good living through start-up companies and trades. If you are in college and do not know what you want to do, my advice is to get out.
