<p>MiamiDAP- I agree with you about hard work being very important, and think that is the point you are trying to get at here.</p>
<p>But come on. You mentioned once to your kindergarten daughter that she needed good grades or she couldn’t go to swim practice, and that was enough to propel her into a lifelong career of academic perfection? Zero input after that? I think your over 2000 posts on CC sort of belies your claims of lack of involvement.</p>
<p>and fallenchemist is correct. A 35 on an ACT test is great, but the ACT test is composed of simple to moderately difficult problems. THe key is to work careful;ly under times and stresful conditions. The skill is entirely different than that of an advanced chemistry, physics, mathematics, or engineering class. And I’m suere there are analogous classes in the humanities or social sciences.</p>
