| Oh, I agree; I'm just trying to put light upon why some choose not to, and may not have needed to. |

| so, there's this kid who lives in my area, he's pretty well known and there's been newspaper articles about him (!), and I have friends who know him, so here's what I know of his stats:
School: Private Christian
State: SC
Race: white
SATs: took when he was a freakin sophomore and got 1600/1600. Apparently took the new one and got 2300/2400.
GPA, etc: no idea but I'm sure they're stellar.
I think his biggest hook was tennis. . .he was ranked No.1 in the state for a while and is consistently ranked at the top.
Yeah. So, he ONLY applied to Harvard. . .and got in, of course. |

| Nope. My area has a lot of top national/regional players, so I keep up with the rankings and such. BTW, he's ranked #18 in the country. |
