<p>Am I the only one to ask the question: was that guy with 2400 SAT actually ADMITTED to HYPs or just started getting mail from them, like everyone here does? The word “courting” suggests the latter. Maybe the guy never got into an Ivy League school and did’n’ have the chance to “turn them down”. Otherwise each of us can tell that he turned down several Ivies
(well, except those who applied to all eight)</p>
