Also… That scholarship is very prestigious. He wasn’t really giving much up… He will be praised for that scholarship just as much as going to an ivy. He isn’t attending UVA as just any other Joe. That whole fit over prestige thing doesn’t work well for his situation. At UVA he will have the prestige of the scholarship and benefits such as financial aid that come along with it, as well as the fit. He gains more that way, and isn’t just going off of fit.
