Since there are people attending Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford, no, it was not just one student who got those spots.  It seems to me that mostly people attend top universities and liberal arts schools.  There are only a handful of second tier schools in this list, and it doesn't look all that different from lists people have been discussing of NCS/STA.  A lot of the acceptances seem to be safety schools.[/quote]

It seems to me that often people on this forum forget that many schools have specialized major programs that kids may school or they may get an athletic scholarship to attend or their family cannot afford $60k a year in tuition.  And some students simply visit and like a school, regardless of how prestigious others may think it is.  Regardless, this seems to me like a pretty impressive list.[/quote]
