[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hold up. We all know many students accepted to CS at these colleges (not all of them, but many of them) with similar academic stats and without the addition of his coding and business accomolishments. There is something else going on here. [/quote]

Honestly sounds like he doesn’t need college at all and I bet that was a factor.

Why admit the guy who is definitely going to drop out year two to run his unicorn startup when you can give the seat and financial aid to someone who actually needs the education?

I’m sure the professors would be thrilled to have him in class as well when he already knows more than them and has superior accomplishments.

It’s a rational admissions decision, candidate is overqualified.

Grades and test scores are irrelevant, candidate is performing as a superior working professional in the field already; put him in the file for faculty hire instead.

You don't think he could learn anything from research professors at Berkley or CalTech or MIT? [/quote]

PP here.

Yeah, and he will learn from them in professional collaborations working at Google on real projects.

He can co-author papers with them all he wants.

I’m sure Google will pay for or provide any training he wants. They can get anyone at Stanford or Berkeley they want to come over to the Googleplex and hang out. The people at Google at high levels are as good or better as faculty at any of these schools.

Why does he need college? He doesn’t need the credential, he already got the great job. L4 salary is in the low to mid 200’s. He’s 18.

He has the skills. He has the practical experience.

The part he’s missing is making friends and having a youth, I doubt there are a lot of peers at work for him to socialize with.
