My brother, who made only 1 B in college,graduated Summa cum laude in computer/software engineering. I went to undergrad with several of my high school friends who were merit scholars and they were very mediocre students, one almost failing out. I truly believe standardized tests are useless and do not show what a student can really accomplish.
