will the media stfu about the kid who got into all the ivys

he plays the violin? oh realllly, please tell me more about him npr, what kind of cereal does he eat for breakfast?

how many kids each year apply to all the ivy's just to see if they'll get accepted to all? i'm sure he can't be the first, but he sure became the media's little darling, why?

I'm glad I don't watch enough TV for this to concern me.

I think that's the key... how many kids actually apply to all of the Ivy schools? And just because a school is or isn't Ivy doesn't really mean anything. He said he wants to go into medicine... shouldn't he be trying to get into Johns Hopkins, Stanford or Duke in addition to Harvard, Penn, and Columbia? I haven't researched it, but I highly doubt the Ivys retain most of the top med school positions... what a waste of admissions fees.

but we all know there are kids out there who do it just to do it

maybe i'm just more surprised this doesn't happen more often

at least he'll have a good talking point in his interviews

What is the answer to 99 out of 100 questions?
 

Well, speaking of interviews, now all you'll have to do is Google his name and immediately you can find out that he got into all the Ivys. People will form their own opinion about applying to all of them, but it is still free publicity for the kid.

Yea: not valedictorian or salutatorian, sub-2300 SAT, black. Reaks of affirmative action.
