I couldn't agree with this more.
My experience: My daughter never tested well. 16 on her ACT. Her college coach wanted her and got her in. She graduated in 4 years Summa with a double major.
My son got a 30. He's now an iron worker after flunking out. In my book good for NIU!

And your son is probably making more money!
