Why would someone apply to 85 colleges knowing that he would get accepted by so many. Don't college applications cost money? Who can afford that.
Was ego the reason he did this? And who told the media about this. And isn't it an abusive waste of time for those colleges that had to review his application and him knowing he wouldn't go there.
:RC note: Here is the CNN story. Friendly reminder, when referencing a story, please try to link to it. Please note, we changed the title of the thread. It was initially entitled, "CNN just did a piece celebrating a kid who got accepted to all 85 colleges that he applied to." We changed it as that title was inaccurate as he was accepted at 185 colleges and we haven't seen any indication that he got into every college he applied to. Plus LRC co-founder Robert Johnson spent 10 years of his life coaching at Cornell so he want to emphasize his choice.
