I don't understand your comment. Do you think he's not qualified to attend those colleges?

I cannot fathom why anything about this story is sad.

I am curious why not Penn? Wharton is there.

Congrats, Coffey!


He should choose Brown and have some fun while learning.

Kudos to Coffey and his mom. Both him and his mom should be very very proud of themselves.

Coffey applied to five Ivy League universities, and, amazingly, has been accepted at all of them: Harvard, Princeton, Yale, the University of Pennsylvania, and Brown.

And four of the five universities have already offered very generous financial aid packages. (Harvard is still formulating its offer.)



Kudos to his mom, a single parent. If you're on DCUM, congratulations, well done!
