    If it did not look good on your college application and being a big sister gave you no future benefit...would you still do it?

    its a step up from being Emo.

    Scene kids are on the surface basically just emo kids. But don't day that to their face, they don't like it. . Scene kids are a lot less depressed and a lot more...neon.

    unless you're headed for the ivy league or have a GPA of 1.00 and an ACT of 12, all you really need to get into college is the money to pay tuition...

    Yah, maybe for ITT Tech. or medical assisting and or coding and billing.

    If you want a reputable college then you must have good credentials

    My college you can't get in under a 26 on ACT or 3.5 High School GPA.

    define reputable. i've never seen a state school (which are generally "reputable") that was anywhere near that strict.

    the school i went to (which is considered one of the best engineering and one of the best pharmacy schools in the country) gave out automatic scholarships to everyone who had the scores you mention.

    also, i did exaggerate. but 26 is still barely above average, and anyone who showed up for high school should have graduated with close to a 3.5
