<p>That link is broken. I googled, but there are few facts of what scholarships he got and how he applied–would have been interesting.</p>

<p>I can’t believe another thread is discussing whether athletes who score 1900 are qualified to study at the Ivy League, but a kid with an 18 ACT getting so many scholarship offers wouldn’t raise an eyebrow…

<p>Probably many of those 150 are football offers. My brother’s friend listed 12 football scholarships in the senior program, but my brother said he could have an offer from any school he wanted. His coach just had to contact the college and one would be offered, no effort on the student’s part at all.</p>

<p>What would be interesting to know is how many of the scholarships were for music or how many he will benefit from other than the D-1 (full) football scholarship he’ll get at Miami.</p>
