Wow, it got to be something special, rec letter from vvip?[/quote]

LOL, his two teachers and supervisor at the animal shelter wrote this letters. But I think he only sent supervisor to some colleges only for some reason.

The only special thing I see is he took a couple of courses that are non-core against all advice. We thought he is just following his interests at that time. His interest turned out to be a girl who is taking that same class. Bombed that class. Went on to repeat that again with the same result which took down his grades which were otherwise all 4.0 in core classes.

What about the girl though? [/quote]

I’m still waiting for her to provide more details about the fundraising.  Did your son start his own non profit or did he fundraise for an existing one? [b] How did he raise so much money?[/b][/quote]

His parents or hired consultant handled it.[/quote]

What a mean-spirited answer. Don’t you ever see young people on the street trying to collect donations for charities? That’s probably what this person’s child did, and by canvassing his local community.[/quote]
