Because many ivy leagues pride themselves on rejecting tons of kids with perfect SAT scores, perfect GPAs, and piles of extracurriculars. Just on raw probability alone it should be physically impossible to get in to all of them, let alone get full rides to all of them, especially if your scores are worse than the competition. I mean, since he did, isn't it safe to say that he had some extra curriculars that pushed him past his non perfect SAT score? I'm sure he did. Nevertheless, the best schools accept around 5% of applicants. Getting in to one or two or ten would be an accomplishment. Getting in to 20 would be crazy even for the world's smartest kids. Getting full rides to all of them is just... insane. Like... If Stephen hawking said he got that kind of deal I would question it too. Just going off probability it shouldn't ever happen. I guess. I don't know how acceptance works for these schools. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.4 <cite>emblem boy posted [p:899125720] in White anch...
