Bull shit. Bullshit. Bullshit. If he couldn't afford to go to any of those schools, all the Ivies plus Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Washington University, why the fuck would he waste the major fucking money to apply? I'm calling bullshit. Then the crap story about turning them all down for a shithole like Alabama? Bullshit! There is more to this story than is being reported, especially given how places like Harvard, Princeton, and Stanford run their financial aid programs. Bull and shit. Also: 2260 SAT? 2260? That score sucks. I'm surprised that the could be admitted to these schools with that score. I wonder why he was? What was his hook? He musta had an in somehow, because my 10 year old is taking the test this fall (at 11) and is estimated to score between 2100 and 2200! (She may score over 2200 because the perfect score on the Critical Reading is certainly possible and reasonable on test day.) If her score as a senior in high school is as low as this Ronald Nelson's score, both of us will be grievously disappointed. When your smarter 6th and 7th graders are getting only a hundred points lower on the SAT than a student "admitted to all the Ivies", you gotta wonder what bullshit you are being fed.
Maybe his less-than-stellar stats are why this guy was admitted to these schools with his connections or hook but was denied the proper amount of financial aid...
Bullshit or not...
