ADHD and College

It's getting to be that time. My son is going into his junior year at a college prep school. College prep means that he is being prepared for college. In two years, theoretically, he should be heading off to college. Because it's private college prep school, there are plenty of people there who are 4.0+ students, with all honors and AP classes, who play a sport, play an instrument and have already developed a "resume" a mile long.

To my son's credit, with ADHD, no medication and just a little support (Sylvan Learning 2x a week), he is holding his own. Just not getting-into-Harvard-Stanford-or USC holding his own. He's got a solid C+. Which is an improvement from his Freshman year, so who knows what he might be able to pull of this year with a (little) maturity?
Meanwhile, as the other moms are gearing up for testing and filling that resume for their overachieving sons, I am FREAKING OUT that he won't get into college. All you hear about is how critical this year is, how hard it is to get into schools, how they need to do this that and the other thing or they'll NEVER get in ANYWHERE. It's enough to give me a massive panic attack and be voluntarily committed.

SO-what do I do when anxiety strikes? Like any good addict, I Google it. So, I Googled "colleges for C students" and lo and behold, there ARE schools that look at more than grades. If my son, with his high IQ and stellar test taking skills, can show that he is smart and motivated and has a lot to offer (which he does), there is a chance that we can pay a large sum of money to some great (yet small) institution to admit him. This is at once reassuring and disturbing, but all hope is not lost. Except he wants to go to L.A. and be a rock star. We'll have to work on that...

What do you think? How important is college these days? Have you had an ADHD kid make it through high school and try college? How'd it go? I'd love to hear others' experiences.
