Absolutely!!

I only want for motivation and ability to stop being conflated with push-parenting (which mostly does not correlate particularly well with college success, and in fact, could arguably lead to a lot of hassle and expense for colleges that find they need to 'remediate' or 'support' students in those situations).

Motivation is huge, and those students SHOULD be taken into account. It'd be a lot easier if grade inflation weren't so rampant, honestly, because transcripts used to reflect that quality extremely well, and not-so-much anymore.
