[quote=Anonymous]Not sure about his start-up but he and his team came in second for the google competition, which is a world wide event. Obviously, google thinks he is good, which makes me think that he actually contributed to the start-up or at least his CS skills are great. Bottom line, this kid gets hired by google but not admitted to top programs or one UC school that he applied to. That should raise some red flags because it doesn't make sense. And when things don't make sense, it is reasonable to start asking what went wrong or why. Lots of people quick to assume this kids father created the website, his parents pushed him, he wrote lousy essays, his teacher recommendations were bad. I doubt any of that is true because this kid got hired by google. He has to have been interviewed and vetted by one of the top US companies. I am surprised that people are so quick to criticize a high schooler instead of criticizing the college admission system.[/quote]
