We don't know if he got a full scholarship, or a combination of grants and loans. No reason he shouldn't try for the best scholarships to the best colleges. He's breaking no rules here -- and AOs will be calling the high school to see if they have any more students like him.

[b]His GPA is backed up by strong AP test results and also SAT2 scores[/b]. [/quote]

Wrong. Those are not amazing SAT II scores. His history score is only 73 percentile, bio is only 86 percentile. An Asian boy with his stats would be rejected from every college this boy was admitted to with a full ride. An Asian boy with those stats would struggle to get admitted to UVA with same profile.

This means nothing. Admission is not based on SATII scores. The ACT score is in the 98%. That along with grades are  enough to put him in the game and make the first cut. The competition from there is a compelling story along with focused interests and strong teacher recs abd essays. Stuff you cant really judge on an anonymous forum.[/quote]
Tell that to the “his GPA is backed up by strong AP test results and also SAT2 scores” person who brought it up in the first place[/quote]
