Which full ride scholarship pp?
Are you from a Chicago city public high school? Hard to see which one of these would provide a DC student with [an unexpected] full ride?

that pp was bs-ing

DD knows a boy who graduated from TJ last year and received a full ride to UChicago.

If that was true, that would be a need-based full ride. The student is poor but certainly wouldn't want to tell classmates the difference between need and merit aid.
