[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. anyone else get the sense that the OP of this thread, and a lot of the immature responses, are probably the guy who took 25 AP classes and only got into UCLA. I just get a vibe that he gets off on a certain type of online attention. Which is weird, and I'm not surprised colleges didn't want that element in their mix. [/quote] Actually I consider his a successful story: getting into UCLA with likely mediocre ECs![/quote] The more I read about this case, the more I think he’s pretty lucky to get into UCLA and USC! His grades are not great, and I don’t think his letters are great either. He also clearly has mediocre social skills, which are very important to elite colleges. I think this is an example of just drilling for exams alone is enough to get you into some pretty good colleges, very much like the Asian system! Speaking of that, the guy would have no problem getting a full ride to the best Asian universities.[/quote]
