Reply to "Offers Contingent on Better SAT/ACT Score?"

In another sport, I know of a kid who was recruited and committed to one of the top programs in the country. His dream school. He needed to take the ACT 6 times in order to get a grade acceptable to the school for admissions. They let him in on probation and he needed to take some "starter" courses during the summer. He did not make it through the summer and never played for the team.

Kid had talent and unfortunately other then the olympics there is not really a professional version of his sport. He did drop down to a JUCO for two years but is now out of school. No degree.

Be careful with the academics. The low ACT/SAT score maybe an indicator that he is not a fit for that school.
