[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not saying that this kid shouldn’t have gotten into these schools, but if you Google him you’ll see he’s from Palo Alto and I would be shocked if at least one of his parents wasn’t already in the tech industry. He just randomly thought of an e-signing service? For fun? The website is VERY professional. I have no doubt the kid is a good coder if he got that far in the Google code jam. But I also highly doubt that’s all in some vacuum.

This is where kids in his high school went to school.

But I admit that even if he did have help, he did 1000 times more than my kid in high school!

Yeah.  If 18 people got into UC Berkeley and one got into MIT and it wasn’t him, something is up with his apps or teacher recs.

If he is truly as incredible as you want him to be, the counselor letter would say that.  This is a school where the top schools you mention take kids from his school.  The counselors know the reps.[/quote]

Do we know if the 18+1 were Asian and or white?? If so, how many??[/quote]
