[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ummm, I’m at Google do you have any idea how hard it is to get hired as a L4 SWE at Google? The kid is obviously brilliant. L4s have an average salary of 250k/yr and 4 years work experience after grad school. We are talking hundreds of applicants for one L4 slot.

You people are spectacularly ignorant. Stick to counting beans in your cubicle, not pontificating on “big tech” (boomer word as well).

This exactly. And I want to add that the fact he got hired by google should negate the ideas suggested on this board, such as he lied about his app, he had bad essays and teacher recs and that his grades weren't stellar compared to classmates.

This kid is brilliant and his work must be "real" or google wouldn't have hired him (I am assuming the folks at google are smart enough to figure out if his father designed the program). I assume he had to pass numerous interviews and that his high school transcript was scrutinized.

[b]The problem isn't Stanley, it is the college admission system that is the problem. I wish that this was the focus of this discussion instead of trying to rationalize why a kid like this got rejected from so many schools.[/b][/quote]
This happens on all discussions about college admissions unfortunately.  Everyone likes to pick apart the specific kid and not the process.  [/quote]
