I've seen low GPA-high ACT kids and high GPA-low ACT kids go to college and do fine...and not...I've seen brilliant students getting into the party scene and flunking out, I've seen poor-to-average students go to college and do fine, or even better than fine.
It's what you do while you're there that counts....and sometimes, not even then. You can succeed at life and drop out of college.

Life is a crap shoot.
Very true on all points. I have a number of friends/acquaintances that did not go to college and are doing quite well. I don't emphasize that with my own kids because they *are* going, LOL.
