<p>OH PLEASE. guys, be realistic.
if this is a “super elite college,” candidate 1 and 3 immediately fail right off the bat because they lack the essential requirements.
even an admissions officer can’t admit a student who lacks the most basic of requirements.</p>
<p>so really, the only option is #2.
a lot of people said that it is a normal candidate. if a 2400 2x gold medalist w/ groundbreaking research is normal, then i wouldn’t even be in college.</p>
<h1>2 works in many ways for an elite college:</h1>
<p>-actually has fulfills the needed requirements
-sports factor
-other great ec’s</p>
<p>besides, if 1 and 3 managed to do all that without formal education, then how the heck would college help them?
even if #2 wasn’t an option, i would feel bad for restraining them to degrees& requirements& whatnot.</p>
<p>i would admit #2, and perhaps contact #1 and #3 individually and hook them up with some people who can aid them in their endeavors.
but to admit them to college?
i couldn’t even if i wanted to.</p>
