<p>Yes, but he was still able to get into HYP,etc.
He seemed to think it was because many had applied to Stanford SCEA from his high school (elite private)…but it was really surprising because he was not only super-qualified, but a double legacy, and an athletic recruit. </p>
<p>The point is that there is no combination that will GUARANTEE admission to any school. Sure, looking at his stats, many would say that he had a 99% chance at Stanford, but there is always that other 1%…regardless, he got into many other great schools (and didn’t sue anyone, which is always nice :p).</p>
