<p>I think everyone would prefer an ambitious,hard working, and well rounded student than a student who only succeed in merely academics. College acceptance is not solely determined with academics and test scores. Colleges can care less about your scores. They want motivated people ready to succeed in all aspects of life. One who can battle adversity and can build resilience. One who has “marginal or low scores” but works sedulously can indubitably have more achievement in life than one with high grades without work ethic or other qualities.</p>
