<p>LOL @ “earning” a free-ride from Yale (after a waitlist especially).</p>

3

<p>I thought Yale didn’t give merit-based aid. So basically he’s a low income student?</p>

4

<p>^ Yes, that is evidently the case. I doubt the author of the article was aware of that.</p>

5

<p>So much for accurate reporting…</p>

<p>I don’t see anywhere that he “earned” a free-ride or any implication that his aid is merit-based. It was, however, “offered” to him with no further clarification on what that specifically means. Completely accurate.</p>

<p>What about the title of the article?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Though technically accurate, it is misleading.</p>

<p>He “earned” the scholarship by virtue of being accepted at Yale.</p>
