He ended up choosing not to go. Too far and too expensive. He's at UVA and is very happy.
Who was the woman?
Someone who lost capital advocating for a kid who didn’t yield. Will take it out on future applicants to that high school. Stanford’s yield rate is over 80%…
this is not how any of this works
