Question for parents of college students
#17
I've got 2 in college on academic scholarships so I'll throw this question at them if they can stop playing
Starcraft 2 long enough.

They said they both took placement test before starting their freshman year and there were absolutely
no cheat sheets for the placement test or for what they had to go through to get their scholarships.

OT: I know my oldest, starting Senior this year double major in Pre-Med and Biology, really had to jump
through some hoops to get his scholarship which was highest one they give at $17K per year for
tuition. My youngest, majoring in IT, a starting Junior this fall received about $9K a year from the college
and the rest for both them is in various scholarships (Milton Rose being one), grants and small loans.
My youngest has MD and gets a fair amount from local Vocational Rehab. Both attend Pfeiffer University.

Some of you might remember this:

As you can tell I'm very proud of my both of our sons.

My youngest scored something over 1100 on the SAT and my oldest scored 1360, this was on the two
original sections not the new written portion that many colleges don't even look at.
